ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for playing an anagram-type game in a game show or computer game format. One or more anagrams, each comprised of scrambled letters, are displayed on a gameboard. At least one object of the game is to guess the unscrambled solution to each anagram. When correctly guessed, the letters are moved from their scrambled configuration to their unscrambled configuration. An ultimate solution to the puzzle is preferrably revealed by some of the letters of the collective unscrambled anagrams which are moved into a predetermined alignment. Several means are included for making it easier to view, study and follow the progress of the game such as moving each letter along a path, leaving outlines of the letters in their initial positions, and indicating which anagram is to be guessed by a player.
