What's this?
You play as a postman who must piece together words from letters scattered by the wind . It’s a “Check and Write” type game (Roll & Write, but with cards) where every placement decision is crucial to optimizing your grid .
How do you play?
Each turn, the top two cards of the draw pile are revealed .
-
Each player chooses only one of these two letters .
-
He writes it in one of the 25 central squares of his grid .
-
Exception: If the two letters drawn are identical, everyone must use that letter .
✨ Options and Jokers
To help you organize your grid, you have several bonuses that can only be used once per game :
-
Discarded Letters: Four times per game, you can refuse the two letters offered and write nothing that turn .
-
Jokers: * Blue (+): Write a letter on the outer edge to create a 6-letter word .
-
Eraser: To erase a letter already written .
-
1+2: Write both letters provided instead of just one .
-
Black square: To block off a square (as in crossword puzzles) to separate words .
-
A ↔ B: Swap two letters already placed on the grid
-
🏆 Point Calculation
The game ends when the grids are full . A word must be at least 3 letters long to count.
