ABSTRACT:
An educational word game apparatus utilizes a board with a diamond shaped playing area formed in a checkerboard pattern. A pair of goals is provided and players more playing tiles over the checkerboard squares toward the goal according to a roll of a die. A large deck of word cards is provided with each card having a word on one side and the meaning thereof on the other side. At each roll of the die, a player draws a card and chooses to either define or spell the word. If the correct answer is given, the player may advance a playing tile. The first player to move a certain number of playing tiles to his goal is the winner. A goal may be the word ALPHABET and tiles having letters of this word are used to cover the corresponding letter when reached by a playing tile.
