At Brentano's saw MAGNA-WORD-GAME (<s>Schak</s> Schackman). There is a 6X6 quadrille of vinyl and selection of vinyl letter squares. It is a solitaire of making words horizontally & vertically.

Looked at <u>JOTTO</u> again. Next to the probe word spaces there is a descending number of points. The player scores the number next to the probe with which he finally guesses the other player's word. He also scores 1 point for each letter he contacted in a probe word "jot." If the probe word has all 5 letters the same, but in another order, each "jot" counts 2, or a total of ten. The opponent scores for his "jots" only. Play to a given total. (Something like 250.) <br>

The rules also suggest using 6 letter words for a more skillful <br>
