WORD GAME SET AND CHIP

摘要

An enhanced playing chip for word games having two or more letters and corresponding number values thereon. The player selectively orients the playing chip to select one of the letters. Players are provided with removable and interchangeable labels to create user defined enhanced playing chips. A combination of letters, numbers, colors and figures may be provided on the label to create a children's educational aid. A game board (71) has a crossword grid (72) with chip receiving bonus spaces of different values marked in different color indicia (76, 81) indicated on an adjacent key (73). The bodies of the chips are transparent so that underlying indicia can be seen therethrough. In an alternative, the chip bodies are colored so that the scoring color seen through the chip will be changed to a third color when a chip of a first color overlies a space of a second color. The colors of different regions of an enhanced chip can also be different providing different scoring values according to the letter selected.
