Letter Pile 1974

Gameplay revolves around sixty transparent tiles. Each tile has a letter printed on it in caps. Each player must make a word of up to five letters that has no letters repeated from the seven letters each player was dealt. Each player must also construct a crossword puzzle type clue for the word composed. A player may bluff if a word can't be constructed with the tiles dealt. The words are placed in the holder so that the letters of each individual word overlap. Players score points for deducing opponent’s words. The game is played until a goal the players have agreed upon is reached.

Game components: four letter holders with rack, sixty letter tiles, one clue and a three-minute sand timer.
