| Games 4 : PLAYING WITH WORDS |
MAKING THE CONNECTION
How many 4-letter or longer words do you think you can make using only the letters found
in this word grid? Well, we have to impose a few rules before you get started. You must spell
out words that can be formed by letters that are touching each other. Thus, you can spell out
shut since each letter touches the one that preceded it. The other rule is that you cannot stay
on a letter for two turns. So, you cannot spell cheese because you would have to stay on the
letter e for two consecutive turns. Other than these two, there are no rules to hold back your
creativity. So get busy and, then, on a separate sheet of paper, write the words you create.
Find 25 and we will be impressed!
