About Letter Hunt
Letter Hunt is a fast word game for the whole family. The dice roll, and a grid of 4 × 4 or 5 × 5 letters appears. Now you have two or three minutes to find as many words as possible by moving from letter to neighbouring letter – across, down or diagonally.
The fun comes afterwards: words that more than one of you found get crossed out. Only the words nobody else found score points, and long words score far more than short ones. So it pays to hunt for the odd words the others miss.
Play with one iPad on the table, where you write your words on paper and type them in afterwards, or put the letters on the TV and find words on your own phones. The word list checks every word, and at the end you can see which words none of you found.
How to play
- Choose one screen or TV + phones, the board size and the time.
- When the timer starts, everyone finds words by moving from letter to neighbouring letter. Each square can only be used once in the same word, and words must have at least three letters.
- When time’s up, the words are compared. Words that more than one player found don’t count.
- Unique words score points by length. The player with the most points after the last round wins.
