    C 3 4 How to make the pieces and board
    3 3
    D 3 2 1. You need 100 small pieces of wood. A carpenter can
    cut this for you cheaply (I paid less than $1 in Uganda).
    E 9 1
    Always order more than 100 pieces per game, some
    F 3 2 are likely to be lost or broken.
    G 3 2
    Ask a carpenter to cut a 0,5 cm thick strip of wood off a
    2 3 2-2,5 cm thick board. He should now how a long piece
    H 3 3 of wood (one or two metres) that is about 0,5 cm x 2,5
    1 8 cm. (In fact you might need several of these.) Cut this
    long piece of wood into squares, about 2,5 cm until
    I 7 2
    you have one hundred pieces.
    J 3 3
    You (or the carpenter) should probably use sanding
    2 5
    paper to even out the edges of the little pieces. Just a
    K 3 2 few seconds for each piece makes a lot of difference!
    L 3 2
    M 3 2
    2. Draw the letters and values on the pieces according
    N 3 1
    to the list to the left. There should be 10 pieces with
    O 7 2 the letter A, and it should have the English value 1. If
    P 3 2 you make it bilingual, write the value for the local
    R 3 1 language in the top right corner of the piece (as
    illustrated). If there is an English letter that is not in
    S 4 1
    your alphabet, such as Q, give it another letter from
    2 3 your alphabet, such as K or .
    T 4 1
    U 5 3
    3. You need a table to draw the board on. Cardboard is
    1 9 cheap (free), but plywood is hard, durable and looks
    V 2 3 more fancy! Decide how big ch square should be (keep
    Z 1 7 the size of your wooden pieces in mind!), multiply by
    17 squares and add a few centimetres for the margins.
    * 2 0
    If the squares are 2,5 cm the whole board should be
    about 50 cm. Draw the pattern as shown on page 2
    * blank brikke (joker) onto the board.

    2xL = Double letter value


    3xL = Tripple letter value
    2xW = Double word value
    3xW = Tripple word value

    How to play
    Put the letter pieces face down (so that they are hidden) on the table. Each player picks 7 (or 8,
    that makes it easier) pieces each, hiding them. Player 1 lays down letters that form a word on
    the board, starting on the X in the middle. One can write left-to-write or top-down. Write down
    the score ech player getes for each word. the first time a letter is placed on 2xL or any of the
    other value squares, the player gets more points accordingly. The player then picks more letters
    from the table so the s/he always has 7 letters.
    The other players have continue using one of the letters already on the board, forming a cross-
    word puzzle. This continues until there are no more letters to pick from the table.
