Abstract
A novel word game is disclosed having a generally planar game board with an intersecting grid pattern formed therein.

Claims8
A word game comprising a game board having a generally planar configuration with a plurality of groove means formed therein, a first set of said groove means extending in a first direction and a second set of said groove means extending transversely relative to said first set in perpendicular relation thereto for delineating rectangular block members, said groove means being generally V-shaped so as to diverge outwardly on each side from the bottom of said groove means toward the top portion of said block members, and playing pieces for said word game being of generally rectangular configuration and having a letter of the alphabet on the upper facing surface thereof, said pieces also including a plurality of projections extending downwardly from the lower facing surface thereof for engaging said groove means.
A word game comprising a game board of generally planar configuration and having a grid pattern formed therein defined by a plurality of regularly spaced horizontal and transverse groove means intersecting at regular intervals, said groove means having upwardly diverging side walls being wider at the intersections thereof, and a plurality of playing pieces for said game of generally rectangular configuration having generally planar top and bottom surfaces with a letter of the alphabet on said top surface and a plurality of projections depending downwardly from said bottom surface for engaging said groove means so as to enable said pieces to be moved horizontally and transversely along said grid pattern.
