How to play
Another Tamagotchi sits across the table with the tray of 16 letter dice; A, B or C and your hand shakes it, then the dice settle in a 4 by 4 grid and the clock starts (180 seconds). Find words by joining neighbouring dice (across, up and down, diagonally), each die once in a word, 3 letters or more. With no letters yet, A / B move round all 16 dice and C picks the first; then A / B go round the free dice touching your last letter and C adds one (C on your last letter takes it off). D tries the word: a new word goes into your list (+points), otherwise NOT A WORD, GOT IT or TOO SHORT. The word list has every common English word (SCOWL, US, British and Australian spellings). Hold D to stop the game. The other player finds words in the same grid at the same time, mostly common ones; both lists show at the end (A / B move them up and down, C goes on). Words you both found score nothing; the rest score by length: 3-4 letters 1, 5 letters 2, 6 letters 3, 7 letters 5, 8 or more 11. The higher total wins. Points for a win.
