Quiddler

Because short words, like ‘at’, ‘is’, ‘of’, ‘ax’,’ow’ and ‘zoo’ can lead to winning, players of all ages can play and win. There are bonuses for both short and long words. You simply combine all the cards in your hand into words. The words don’t have to be related, and you don’t play off other player’s words.In the first round players get three cards, in the second round four cards, on up to 10 cards in the last round.Using special cards, Quiddler draws on one’s ability to combine letters into words.Players must combine their entire hand into words trying to use the highest point value letters.Quiddler challenges you to do this first with three cards (round one), then with four, on up to ten cards in the last round.A bonus is given for both the longest word, and the most words made by a player in each round.The average game takes 20 – 40 minutes.There is a visual perception aspect that draws on combining the cards with the highest points into the words rather than the first words a player recognizes.Players who win often don’t go out at their first opportunity; on the other hand, sometimes they go out as soon as possible.Their actions are aimed at increasing their odds of getting either the long-word or the most-words bonus.The game works well for beginning readers and accomplished word game players.This results from the bonus for getting the most words in any round, which, of course, is obtained using short words such as: zoo, is, of. Although each game is quick to play (about 15 – 20 minutes), word lovers play game after game.
