A multiple player, turn-based, crossword game where there is a distinct colored collection of tiles for each player, and these tiles are shaped differently based upon their imprint of either a consonant or vowel. The amount and frequency of these imprinted letters and letter scores is consistent between each players' separate collection of tiles. Players take turns building and placing a word from their private tile holder which contains a random selection of their choice of N consonants and M vowels, where N and M can vary, but N+M is fixed and consistent between the players. Play continues until a player has successfully played all of the tiles in their collection. Unplayed tiles from the other players is then deducted from their score and added to the score of the player who played their last tile. The player with the highest recorded score is the winner.

A method of playing a game includes forming a build stack of played card tiles from the plurality of card tiles by repeatedly positioning an active card tile on top of a played card tile with one of the zones of the active card tile substantially overlapping one of the zones of the played card tile. A null indicia can be covered by either the first indicia, the second indicia, or the null indicia. The first indicia or second indicia can be covered by either the third indicia or the null indicia. A third indicia can be covered by the null indicia.
