The deck has 54 cards: 52 letter cards with a value 2-10, and 2 jokers worth 15. There are 4 games described:
Cross Words: Deal 10 each for 2-4 players, 8 each for 5, 7 for 6, 6 for 7. In a turn a player lays down a word, or discards 1 and draws 1. No more than 4 cards can be played in a turn, and all cards played must be in the same row or column, forming a typical crossword pattern, so all adjacent letters form a word. The hand ends when a player empties his hand, and all others add the values of their remaining cards to their total. Game ends when someone reaches 100 points, and the lowest total wins.
Speed Game: Like Cross Words, except that a 4- or 5-letter word is place on the table to start, and there are no turns: when the signal is given, players add words to the array, or discard and draw, when they wish.
Solitaire 1: Make 12 piles of 3, all face up and fanned to see the lower cards. Discard cards by forming words from the top cards of the piles -- but you can use a lower card if the card(s) above it are also used in the same word. When you've done all you can, take the remaining cards and turn them up in 3s, using them to make more words with the rest. You can go through the deck as often as you want. You win if you use all the cards.
Solitaire 2: Deal out 6 cards face up, and expose the top card of the remaining deck. Make words out of the cards, discarding them when made, and fill in empty slots from the deck. You lose if you get stuck.
