Word game apparatus

Abstract

Abstract A word game apparatus is disclosed which comprises a first supply means with letters and a second supply means with letters separate from each other. The individual letters in each supply means are assigned a specific number value which forms a part of the player's score. Each supply means contains a full complement of all of the letters of the alphabet, and certain letters are provided in plural numbers. Each supply means contains an equal number of possible letter selections, however, the number frequency of a given letter in each supply means differs between the respective supplies. The first and second letter supply means may comprise containers such as bags or the like. To play the game, each player makes a first random letter selection from the first supply means, chooses a letter directly from the alphabet, and then makes a second random selection from the second supply means. At this point, the player must form a word and may add letters directly from the alphabet to do so. Points are determined by a series of numbers previously assigned to each of the letters of the alphabet and the formation of a word of eight letters, or other predetermined maximum, doubles the total points for that word. The winner is the player accumulating either the largest total points for a given number of rounds, or the first player to exceed a predetermined winning total. A specific scoring sheet is included which among other things provides the point values for each of the letters.
