game positions are located on the different parties of the board
according to arrangements of players opposite each other on the
different parties of the board. Yellow letters correspond to playing cards of one player, and red letters correspond to playing cards of the second player. Players have equal odds of a prize as letters in proportional groups have equal ratio of usage frequency in English language. Players move playing cards with letters on cells of the board and can form words during game. If a structure of a word includes letters of the opponent then players have the right to remove these letters of the opponent from the board. The problem of game consists that each player should form a word which consists of three own letters and is located in cells which are designated by daggers in figure. Problems and game rules can be different, and also preliminary playing cards of two proportional groups can be located in initial positions in another way rather than it is shown in figure. In essence it is possible to apply different variants of rules and different variants of initial positions, and including it is possible to have playing cards and letters in initial positions in the casual order. |

of playing cards with 64 letters for realization of word forming puzzles.
