Lay the Words
- A game for at least two players.
- Players are provided with a paper and a pencil.
- Each player draws on their own paper, a table of evenly spaced 5x5 boxes, like a small empty crossword table (you can find a readymade one below).
- Players take turns saying a letter. Each player place the letter on their game sheet in a box of their choice.
- In a variant of the game, players can also say ‘blank’ instead of saying a letter. In that case, all players place a blank in a box of their choice. But it's advisable that the number of blanks are kept limited (max 2).
- The aim is to lay the letters with craft such that the player can form as many and long words as possible on the sheet.
- After all boxes are filled, players score a point for each letter of a meaningful word they formed vertically or horizontally.
