Abstract:
A board game having a generally square game board with contiguous squares in a continuous band around its periphery, playing pieces, throwing dice and play cards providing opportunities for playing a crossword puzzle positioned on the game board. The player entering the largest number of letters, as determined by a letter count of all the words the player enters, wins the game. Individual play involves rolling two dice to determine the number of squares through which the playing piece is moved and whether the word to be played on the crossword puzzle shall be across or down. Once on a square, the player must guess a word from clues on a play card, and correctly guessing the word allows the player an attempt to add a word on the crossword puzzle thereby providing an opportunity for scoring.
