Blankity-Blank! Word Gameis a totally fun challenging word game. To begin, you draw a card from the box. On the front of the card is an incomplete word with some letters left blank. (Like T-I–E-) You write this pattern on an answer sheet. Now start the timer and in 3 minutes, how many words can you write down replacing the missing letters? (like thieves, trifled, thinner, trigger, or twister) When time is up, compare your list with the other players and cross off any duplicates; you get points only for the words that you alone wrote down. Then add up your score. The card tells you what each word is worth, from 1 point for patterns that match dozens of words to 3 points for the really tough ones that have only a few solutions. When you've finished scoring this round, turn the card over. On the back you'll find a list of the more common words that match that pattern, like the example in the pictures above. This can be an amusing phase of the game, as you see words that you know but just couldn't think of. The game ends when one player has a total of 25 points, or 50 points, or any winning score you choose.
There are so many great ways to play this: in the car, family game night, etc. It is a lot of fun to play and really makes you think. It's a great way to reinforce spelling to the kids too. I recommend this fun game!
Sounds like a fun one for all 4 of my grandchildren to play together (sons kids that he has at him home). They love playing games and since my son got custody not long ago, they don’t have a lot of games there to play
