MONDAY 15 JULY 1968
St. Swithin's Day
197th day - 169 days to come

Called Felicia. Will bring VENTURE CAPITAL tomorrow, BB typed
the rules during day. I added diaqrams and finished
the new equipment.

Thought of Pencil and Paper word GAME. First versionin At random from a book take a letters which are put in a 3x3 guid, Players in turn add a letter next to one already down. Using this letter but in any position, they form the longest word they can, tracing the letters in any direction including diagonally Score for length of word. ( This will conflict with. RED LETTER. so I thought of another version).... Second version! - start with the same 3x3 grid later reduced to 2x2) and in turn place new letters Score. for each word formed using the new letter, either up hierd down or side to side or diagonally and also in either direction cannot place an "s" which only ends a word, but if it is used in one word in another position it also scores for the "s" at the end of another word. A four 3 letter words scores 5 points, 4 letters - 10 points 15 letters is points... 6 letters - 20 points; etc. A wond containing a "j" X or "2" scores double If an one direction more than word can be formed, count the longest. Not every set of letters must form a word, or even be capable of being formed into a word.. Limit the size of the layout to an initial 13x13 grid (with 3x3 start) on 12x12 grid (with 2x2 start). Play to a definite score Dale checked at stands on 42nd St and the Aug.
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY should be out about the beginning of August.
