A gin-rummy-like word card game. There is a deck of 50 letter cards, 2 Consonant cards, 1 Vowel card, and 1 Wild card, that stand for any consonant, any vowel, and any letter respectively. There's also a scoring pad with point summaries.

Ten cards are dealt to each player. In a turn, a player draws 1 from the draw or discard pile, and either goes out by melding all 11 cards into words of 3+ letters each, or discards a card. Once a player goes out, each other player gets one turn to draw and make their best melds.

Players try for the lowest score. Points for words melded:
0 points for 3 or 4 letters; -5 points for 5 letters; -10 for 6; -15 for 7; -20 for 8; -25 for 9; -30 for 10; -5 for each J, K, Q, X, or Z used; and 11-letter word wins the whole game outright. Penalties include: +10 points for not going out; +10 for each unused vowel, or Vowel or Consonant card; +5 for each unused consonant, except for J, K, X, Z which are +1. There is also a system for challenging a word, and re-challenging if the challenged player is confident, that lead to bonuses or penalties.

The last player to +100 points wins.
