ABSTRACT:
A word forming board game wherein the letter bearing pieces are placed on the board in sequential order in linear, non-linear, adjacent and/or non-adjacent arrays in conformance with prescribed placement rules to form words. For example, successive letters of a word may be placed on the board such that they reflect successive moves of a conventional chess piece such as a king, pawn or knight. In a preferred embodiment, the board is provided with a rectangular matrix of evenly spaced apertures and the letter bearing pieces are each provided with a central aperture. Pegs are used to immovably secure the pieces to the board and the board is provided with cord securing structures along opposing edges. Cords are provided and each of the cords can be extended from the peg associated with the letter piece forming the first letter of a word, around successive letters of that word and finally to one of the cord securing structures. The cord paths aid in visualizing the formed words.
