ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for playing a game is described. Players select a defined number of consonant and vowel cards. Each player selects, in turn, a question card where the question card incorporates a letter which forms part of the answer to the question and a score. The player whose turn it is attempts to answer the question using his or her cards by laying the completed word out on a playing surface, whereupon if the player successfully answers the question, he or she receives the number of points shown on the question card. Alternatively, the score allocated corresponds to the number of cards used. Variations on the game include having blocked cards which may not be used as the originating point for new words unless there are two or less words on the table. The winning player is the one who accumulates a fixed winning score or the one who gets that largest score at the time that all consonant and vowel cards are exhausted.
