A game device has a series of annular wheels with exposed game indicia carrying facets around perimetrical edges and rotatively mounted in stacked, face-to-face relation on an axle rod extending from a handle housing part mounting an LCD display and mode operating buttons. An actuating and locking ring button is mounted on a free end of the axle rod. Wheel interiors are provided with coded areas identifying rotational positions and detected by detectors on the axle rod identifying wheel sequence and rotational positions corresponding to combinations of aligned indicia such as letters, the sensors providing corresponding signal to a microprocessor in the handle programmed to compare words with a dictionary in memory and calculate a players score for display on the LCD. The coded area can be bar codes or apertures for detection by a scanning head driven along the axle or circuit board mounted contact protuberances.
