Review: Typecrush {a word game}

Here on Sycamore Hill we love all kinds of games, but  especially  word games!  Typecrush is a brand new word game with a single rule: whoever solves the first word gets to choose the next word.  And, boy, is it fun!! How to Play  Spell a word making sure no one is looking. Flip the letter circles over to hide your word. The rest of the players try to guess the word using the letter frequency chart.  This chart groups letters by how frequently they appear in the English language and they are the clue you need to solve the word puzzle. This game is wonderful for any age, from the beginning reader to the avid logophile.  It can be made simple by adding extra hints ["it's a color word"] or by more complex by giving no clues as to the type of word.  Hubby and I discovered that longer words are actually easier to guess than short ones!  He really killed us when his word was toe . We've had a lot of fun playing Typecrush!...
