Contents
2 Word Up boards
1 Headband
2 Whiteboard pens
50 word cards
50 Clue Tiles – 30 orange and 20 green
Set up for 2 players
It’s word-guessing time!
Start by shuffling the word cards and placing them face down. Each player must
then take a card and look at it without the other player seeing it. The aim of
the game is to guess the word on the opposition’s card first
How to Play
Taking turns, the players must guess 5-letter words. The first player makes a
guess by writing their S-letter word on their whiteboard. The second player
must check it against the word shown on the card they selected. Place a green
tile on the letters that are correct and in the correct place. Place an orange
tile on any letters that are correct but in the wrong place. You may not hint
at any other clues, like double letters or themes. It may be helpful to mark
off letters you know are incorrect on the bottom of your whiteboard.
Here
you can see H is correct but in the wrong place. The letter P is a letter in
the word and it is in the correct place.
Play until both players have guessed correctly or run out of guesses. You may

Players score points by guessing the word in the fewest guesses. For example,
if the word is guessed correctly first try 5 points are awarded, 2 attempits
are 4 points, 3 attempts are 3 points, etc.
The winner is the player with the most points after 5 rounds.
Want to play more than two players?
Start by shuffling the word cards and placing them face down. Player one
should place the headband on their head with the card attachment facing the
front. Another player must then take a card and place it in the headband with
the word facing outward. Be careful not to show the player wearing the
headband! Player one must sit in a way so that other players can see the card.
The aim of the game is to guess the word on your headband in the fewest number
of guesses. The other players will provide feedback
When the word is guessed, or 5 rounds are up swap the player wearing the
headband and a new player tries to beat the previous score!
to the guesses as highlighted in the “How to play’ section.
We recommend allocating a minute per 5-letter word guess if there is a large
group for a fast-paced game!
