RULES

1. This is a game for 2 players or 2 teams. NO TIME LIMIT!
2. Each player gets a game sheet and writes a “secret” five letterword on the back of their game sheet. Decide (by a coin flip?) which player goes first.
3. This “secret” word must be found in a standard dictionary and can not be a proper noun (plurals are allowed).
4. Player A takes a random guess of any 5 letter word and then Player B tells Player A how many letters from theirsecret word is in the guessed word. Both players write down the guessed word and the number of correct letters in the column marked “Player A”.
5. Now Player B takes a random guess (5 letter word) ofPlayers’ A secret word. Player A must now tell Player B how many letters in their guessed word are in the secret word. Again, now both players write down Player B’s guessed word and number of correct letters.
6. Players continues to alternate guesses until one of the players, through the process of elimination, is able tocorrectly guess the other players secret word.
7. Winning in 12 - 14 guesses is very good. Win in 9 - 11 guesses is excellent. Win in 8 or less guesses = “genius” :)
