Basic concept:
This game is based on grouping the entire english alphabet set into easily memorizable words. Totally there are 6 words consisting of 2 five letter words (BACK-Q, VEST-Z) and 4 four letter words (WHIG, FORD, JUMP and LYNX.) . Each word consists of exactly one vowel and none of the letters repeat themselves. These words are arranged into a 5x6 matrix as follows:
...0 1 2 3 4 5
0 B V W F J L
1 A E H O U Y
2 C S I R M N
3 K T G D P X
4 Q Z
During the game these words will be displayed vertically. They are called vord/s (vertical word/s). Each vord is complementary to its column number. While playing the game on the device, a random combination of vords are displayed. The numbers in each column put together is called the “code”. The goal of the game is to find as many words as possible horizontally by choosing one letter from each column left to right.
Note:
If you want to play the game with your friends using a pen and paper, or on a board or with just mental workout, then it is useful to memorize the vords along with the column number.
In the situation of playing with a hearing impaired person, Player-1 can communicate the code by forming the column numbers (code) with the right hand in sequence. For example, the code for CALL will be 0055. You can form a circle with your hand to show zeros and 5 fingers to show fives. After a code is broken Player-2 can convey the results by showing the row numbers with the left hand and the column numbers with the right hand at the same time and in sequence. The word itself can be shown as:
...........0 1 2 3 4 5 (right hand)
........0 B V W F J L
........1 A E H O U Y
........2 C S I R M N
........3 K T G D P X
........4 Q Z
(left hand)
This is a very thoughtfully designed game. It's unique, original and so fascinating. I'm definitely falling for it. At first, you may be getting into some confusion about how to play, but when you understand the rule and know-how you will find it totally addictive. How on earth I haven't known of this game sooner?
This game brings healthy food to brain. And it also brings joy and cohesion to everyone. When you are bored of those big stone individual playing games, when you need something new & fresh and get socialized, this game is the right one. I love it when I played with my peers, we did have a very enjoyable and memorable time challenging words to each other. This game comes up with a whole new experience. Easy to play (only after you understand the rule), but hard to forget.
Challenging, yet fun! This game really challenged my vocab skills trying to uncover the most words in 60 seconds.
