PRINCIPLES OF THIS WORD FORMING GAME
review of differences from games "scrabble" and "erudite"

The present word game differs from prototypes such as scrabble or erudite, as interaction of letters occur without obligatory formation of words during game process though formation of words is the purpose of game process. Namely letters move or shift or spread on squares of a game board the same as manipulate any other playing elements (figures of a chess or checkers) in not linguistic games, and formation of words as a result of manipulations with letters is event which can or can not take place, but in any case game process is carried out. That is essential difference from other word games with letters such as scrabble or erudite in which obligatory word formations are a necessary condition.
Other difference of this word game from prototypes, such as scrabble or erudite, is the small quantity of letters in complete sets of playing cards which are comparable to quantity of squares on a game board, and also comparable to quantity of letters in alphabet that allows to see (to perceive) and to manipulate all letters of the alphabet within optimum for perception quantity of squares on a game board just as manipulate playing figures in a chess or checkers. And the game board is similar to a classical chess board that allows to consider the present word game among other classical games such as a chess or checkers.
The optimum space of a classical board and optimum quantity of letters allows to perceive letters of the alphabet as strict mathematical system which is similar to mathematical systems of other logic games. But provided that letters of the alphabet are linguistic objects and consequently not only mathematical and logic rules operate during game process, but also linguistic rules which are so interesting as mathematical laws (rules) in a chess.
One more difference of this word game from prototypes, such as scrabble or erudite, is that three-letter words or two-letter words can be formed more often during game interaction and words with the big number of letters can be formed very seldom that is enough simple in comparison with other word forming games. As quantity of three-letter and two-letter words in language are not big and consequently all necessary words can be involved in operative memory of players. And all words can be systematized in a special dictionary which allows to identify words and to form only the certain words which are known to all players from a special dictionary.
In a context of the present word game there is no necessity for a plenty of complex and unknown words as enough to know common words which quite provide an opportunity of game interaction. Namely the limited quantity of letters (equivalent to alphabet) is basic feature of this word game, and accordingly limited quantity of possible words allows to carry out interesting positional-combinational games and puzzles.
And also manipulations by letters on squares of a game board without formation of words allow to carry out interesting positional-combinational games. For example, if players are opposite each other and have the right to read words only from left to right in opposite directions then players can create combinations of letters which convenient for itself and inconvenient for the opponent. So if the letter Q is located at the left of the letter U then it will not give your opponent to use such combination of letters for formation of words, but it will give such opportunity for you.
There are many other linguistic principles of this word game which differ from linguistic principles of other games such as scrabble or erudite. It is possible to apply a plenty of different rules and instructions for games, and also a plenty of different rules and instructions for puzzles.
Namely the offered word game with letters has original rules which differ from rules of scrabble or erudite, as playing cards with letters and squares of a chess board have the original design which allows to carry out very various games and puzzles.
The rules of scrabble or erudite look in other sources of the information if you think to play the scrabble.
