DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, it shows a flow chart of the various processes involved in the present invention. Step 1 describes the initial arrangement of the players provided with all necessary materials e.g. pencil, answering chart to fill answers and a time keeper.

[0023] A dice is rolled at step 2 to pick a playing word. After rolling the dice a random alphabet appears on the top of the dice that we call as playing word. The Players are adapted to read the playing word at step 3 and start writing words starting from the same playing word during step 4. The playing word considered as the first word starting with this all words in different categories can be filled by the players. As soon as all categories got filled by any player then that player generates a stop command during step 5. After execution of stop command all players need to put down their writing materials and score evaluation process initiated at step 6. The score evaluation process involves multiple steps depending upon the uniqueness and duplication of the words written by players.

[0024] The process of scoring is as follows:

TABLE-US-00001 20 points If only one player has correct word. 10 points If two or more players have correct but different words. 5 points For those players that have the same correct words. Zero points For no words/wrong words.

[0025] Now, the sum of points earned in all categories calculated at step 7 and the player earning highest marks declared as the winner of the game. The step 7 process can also be utilized after n number of games depending upon the preset conditions at the beginning of the game. The process of rolling dice or roulette can be considered as chance mechanism. The chance mechanism is selected from the group of a multiphase dice, letter roulette, and a pile of alphabets cards or combination thereof.

[0026] FIG. 2 represents a symbolic representation of the roulette wheel representing a series of 26 alphabets for English language. The same roulette wheel can be designed for other languages depending upon the demand generated by remote places. In this wheel a ball is used for picking a playing letter. The roulette wheel is rotated in one direction and ball is in opposite direction and as the ball becomes stationary on a given alphabet then that alphabet considered as playing letter or an initiating alphabet.

[0027] FIG. 3 represents another exemplary embodiment of the invention by representing a multiphase dice to choose a playing word. In one of the preferred embodiment of the invention numerals can also be used on the dice that can be further coded to English alphabets accordingly.

[0028] FIG. 4 shows an exemplary answering chart used for writing words that belong to plurality of categories. There is one more column provided for score calculation. The chart type may vary according to the user needs as shown in figure.

[0029] The game can be designed for players belonging to all age groups and can be operable at all times.

[0030] Additionally, the game may be implemented on any electronic device capable of performing its functions. The electronic device may be categorized into the cellular phones, computers, laptops, and other related instruments but not limiting to these categories only.

Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0032] The benefits and advantages which may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.
