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. The scores are 6 long - 20 points; 5 long - 10 points; 4 long - 5 points; 3 long - 2 points. (I think this is it.) No restrictions at all about which letters can be used. <br> | At Brentano's saw <u>MAGNA-WORD-GAME</u> (<s>Schak</s> Schackman).

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> | Looked at <u>JOTTO</u> again. Next to the probe word spaces there is a descending number of points.

The rules allow target words and probe words with duplicate letters. With a double letter in the target you need a double letter (the same of course) in the probe word to get two "jots." <br> | The rules allow target words and probe words with duplicate letters.
