This game is somewhat similar to my "LAST WORD". Obviously it would be better for each player to work secretly on his own pad simultaneously, using the same letters as spun. The rules as given were somewhat unclear.

Saw at Gimbel's

    SCRIBBAGE  (Lowe) 13 letter cubes with numbers on the letters - higher for hatder letters. Ordinary cross word type - scoring point value of all words formed and subtracting for letters not used. Minute glass (or 3minute)?) included.

TOSS-WORDS (Cardinal) Board with black squares similar to a cross-word puzzle but more irregular. 15 dice with letters on them. Throw dice and form words that must completely fill spaces between black spaces. (Not clear whether they must be cross-worded or can be separated.) Score for words formed according to value of letters printed on board.

MUSINGO (Mattel) BINGO type game.
