Card GameWord GameSolo / Solitaire GameMelding and SplayingSpelling

Overview

This word game includes some aspects of a solitaire card game. Briefly, starting with seven columns each, on a player's turn, he may move several columns to the tail end of one existing column so as to form a new word (or the beginning of one). The openings thus created are filled with newly drawn cards. You score the words you built based on the consonants' values and the length of the word (multiply the consonants' total by the number of cards). Completed words may be retired to score. If you manage to end the game with all your letters being part of complete words, you've Balied the game and your score doubles (triples in the Aladdin edition).
