ABSTRACT:
A word game wherein the letters of the alphabet are distributed among a number of bodies each of which carries only one letter of the alphabet with some of the bodies being duplicates so that certain letters appear on more than one body. These bodies are coded so as to form different types of bodies, and one group of letters of the alphabet are situated only on bodies of one type, while another group of letters of the alphabet are situated only on bodies of another type, the different types of bodies being readily visible to the players so that a player viewing a body of a given type will know that the particular body carries a letter of a given group. A support structure is provided for supporting a selected row of bodies the letters of which form a selected word, and a covering structure is provided for covering the letters of the selected row of bodies on the support structure, so that a player can see only the types of the bodies and not the letters thereon, in order to attempt to guess the word covered by the covering structure. If a player cannot guess the particular word, then he may request that a certain one of the bodies be shifted with respect to the covering structure so as to render the letter on the shifted body visible, and in this way a player can receive a further hint as to what the word is.
