ABSTRACT:
A word-forming game comprises a playing board having printed thereon a track divided into a plurality of playing squares, on each of which there is printed a number or letter. A playing piece or token is moved along the track in response to the roll of one or more dice. The character appearing in the square onto which the token is moved then indicates either the starting letter of a word to be formed by the player or the number of letters in such a word. In the former case, the number of letters in the word can be determined by the existing indication of the dice, by a second roll of the dice or by a number printed on the top card of a deck of cards having numbers randomly printed thereon. When the playing squares have numbers printed thereon, the word-starting letter to be used can similarly be determined using a deck of cards, each of which bears a letter.
