ABSTRACT:
A word game includes multiple-letter tiles as well as single-letter tiles which are placed on successive spaces on a playing board. In order to receive score points, each player attempts to compose words on his own playing board on which is printed a single row of letter spaces. One of the letter spaces, designated as a "master space", has placed thereon a randomly selected multiple-letter tile. Words are composed by locating single-letter tiles in successive letter spaces on the board so that the single-letter tiles merge with the multiple-letter tile. Each of the letter spaces is assigned a score point value, the magnitude of which depends upon distance to the master space. The score point value of a composed word is equal to the sum of the assigned score point values of the starting and ending spaces of the word. Bonus points are awarded when a joker tile used in composing a word falls on a "joker" space. A timer is provided to limit the time permitted a player for composing a word in order to speed up the playing action.
