From the back of the box: Verbatim gives new meaning to word games. It's a classic spelling game with a big difference. The difference is you only have one each of the 26 letters of the alphabet to work with. Each player takes a turn and tries to complete a word of five letters or more by adding a new letter to the letters already on the board. Complete the word and score. Now you are eligible for the Bonus Round: Spell as many new words as you can in 60 seconds using only the letters of the accepted word and increase your score. Contains: One classically designed game board 26 letter cubes One letter rack One-minute timer Instructions
