Word Square
Players create word squares with the same letters, and the one with the most words wins.Description
Each player draws a 4 x 4 grid. They then take turns in naming a letter. Players can choose any letter they like, and letters can be repeated. As each letter is named each player must write it immediately into one of the cells in the grid:
When the grid is full the players count up the number of four-letter words they have made reading across, down, or diagonally, and the one with the highest score wins.
One interesting aspect of the game is that you can either choose letters that help you complete words, or you can try to thwart your opponent's words.
