"Word Ace combines the strategy and competition of Texas Hold 'Em with the intellectual challenge of classic word games." The deck consists of 100 letter cards, each with a point value. Dealing and betting structure is identical to Texas Hold 'Em; however, the remaining player with the highest scoring word wins the hand. Players may use all seven cards (two hole cards and five community cards) in the formation of their word. Long words add point bonuses: 5 letters = +2 points, 6 letters = +5 points, and 7 letters = +20 points.
