GAMES:  All word building games

 

DUMP©:  Words are made from the cards in hand.  When no more words can be made, they are put aside in a DUMP pile. The game goes on until all cards are used and no more words can be made. The cards from the DUMP pile are then used and more words are made. The player with less cards in hand is the winner.

 

FREEWAY©: Words are made in any direction like crossword puzzle.  Each player gets a suit (no more than 4 players can play per deck).  The game starts with a main word and the player with most cards on the table is the winner.

 

FIXIT There are two piles; (1) Consonants pile; (2) Vowel pile consisting of all vowels A, E, I, O, U plus Y and Jokers.  Words are made from the cards in hand (taken from the active pile) and using vowels to make words. [Patent pending]:

 

SPREAD©: Each player gets 5 cards and 5 more are spread on the table, face up.  Words have to be made from the cards in hand and from the SPREAD.  The game ends when no more words can be made and the player with less cards in hand is the winner.

 

SPELLAR RUMI©: Different versions can be played like Rummy.  Letters are used instead of the usual playing cards, i.e., Ace, King, etc.  Games can be played by making sequences or words.
