Description

Letter is a word game that will put your vocabulary and spatial reasoning to the test. With its unique twist on traditional word games, Letter challenges 2 to 6 players to create words from a set of letter tiles that come in different sizes, from 1x1 to 3x3. As players take turns laying down these tiles on a grid, the board can quickly become a jumbled mess of letters, but that's all part of the fun. The goal is to form words by chaining together orthogonally adjacent sides of the letters, which requires a combination of linguistic skill and strategic thinking. As the game progresses, each new tile placement initiates a Boggle-style word search, but with a twist - the active player gets to decide where the search starts. This adds a social element to the game, as players need to think carefully about their next move and how it will affect their opponents. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 60 minutes, Letter is a great option for word game enthusiasts and casual players alike. First introduced in 2008, Letter has been delighting players for years with its unique blend of wordplay and spatial reasoning, making it a must-try for anyone looking for a fun and challenging board game experience.
