SATURDAY 8 APRIL
1967 98th day - 267 days to come
Working on the arrangement of letters for COALITIONS.
Rcd. the writeup that Fay [crossed out] did for Jerry's game which
they call TANGLELANG. A ten letter word is shown mixed
up. The players try to make as long a word as they can
with the letters. Each length of word has a money value
getting higher rapidly and starting with $1000 for a 1-letter
word. When a player makes a word he collects the value of
that length and all shorter lengths not yet collected on. After
30 seconds the first letter of the 10 letter word is placed by
the computer in its proper position. At the same time the remain-
ing values are reduced. After another 30 seconds the second
letter moves into place and the values go down again. Etc.
Looked at the big bookstore in Yonkers. Only interesting thing
was a phamph booklet GAME CONTRACT BRIDGE, which I
already have.
In evening called Claude. He was playing ACQUIRE with his family
and Barbara's boyfriend.
