This game has three different variants of play.In the first, children just need to place letter tiles in the right squares to make up either pre-printed words or words for pictures on the card.In the second, players roll a color die to see which pile of letters they may take a letter from, and then try to fill out their words first.In the third, players randomly get 12 letter tiles and then create as many words as possible with them before the sand timer runs out. Bonus points for using all letters, but none for creating long words. - BoardGameGeek
