ABSTRACT:
The game apparatus comprises a pack of cards, each having printed thereon a respective pictogram. The pictogram carries two letters and two blank markers indicating wild letters. The pictogram is repeated four times on the card, one on each side of the rectangular card. The players form words according to the pictogram. The apparatus also includes a number spinner, for indicating the number of letters in the words the players have to form; and includes a strike-bell whereby a player can indicate that he has thought of a suitable word. The cards are marked with difficulty stripes, indicating the number of words from a dictionary list that fit the particular pictogram.
