For those who do not know the game,it is very versatile and fun.
At our family gatherings we often will play this one.The object is to have the most points(how original can you get).You pick five categories (rows) and five letters(columns)(we use a five letter word).You have a time limit (+/- 10 min)to fill your paper. You get 2 pt if you get a word no one else has, 1 point if someone else has the same, and double points, 4 if you have a double letter word like "Peter Pan".You can buy the game but you don't need to, just use pencil and paper.
We sometimes play in teams:younger family members with older ones ,that way anyone can play and their combined knowledge is more competitive.Some will learn who is Frank Sinatra and others who is Skillet. Sometimes we can use the same word for more than one categories.(skillet can also be a "thing found in the kitchen").
We can play any number of people.If you have no clue, try something anyway.The jury might accept it.
We decide to put a limit of 6 pt. to the repeat letter bonuses.So the"pink plaid pleated petticoat" only got 6pt.
Have fun
