What's Inside
Flip over 4 letter cards, a wild card, and a category card. Players must quickly write 5 unique words that fit the category. Each word can start with any of the letter cards (repeats are allowed), or you can use the wild card to make all your words start with the same letter—except the revealed letters.
The first player to finish yells "STOP!" and everyone stops writing. Players then compare words—only unique words score points, and points are based on their starting letters. The player with the most points wins!
At the end of a minute, everyone shares their drawings, all unique drawings score one point each! The player with the most points at the end of the game, wins!
