Anyone ever play this? It was taught to me by my grandfather, and my aunt and I played it almost daily for about 10 years. Then I moved and have had a serious Word Game draught since then. I tried to teach it to some friends, but none of them were very interested. The game goes like this:
Two players, each one selects a 5 letter word with no repeating letters, and doesn’t tell the other player what it is. “Stick” is okay, “Areas” is not, since it has two “A’s”.
The players take turns shooting 5 letter words back and forth. When the first player shoots a word, the second player tell them how many letters in thier “shoot” word match the letters in thier secret word. You change your words to eliminate letters and determine what the other player’s word is before they do the same to you.
Is this just confusing?
