About

Word Grid

Read full description

The aim of the game is to clear a 5 row by 15 column grid containing letters, by creating English language words using the letters available. A word must contain at least 3 letters, and you can only select each letter once. The distribution of letters in the grid will be random and in line with the frequency of letters used in the English language. You can only select certain letters in the grid after selecting the first letter in the word, depending on the game type selected. The game can be played with 1 or 2 players and several game options are available to increase the fun.
