The present word game allows participants to have playing cards with letters on squares of a game board and to manipulate letters as playing figures as in a chess or checkers. That is cards with letters move or shift on squares of a game board and formation of words is a condition of game interaction.
Games are given at numbers, and under asterisks possible variants are given.

Rules of word game 1st.
Use proportional groups of playing cards with letters from structure of any one complete set.
Preliminary playing cards have on the game board in initial positions how is shown in figure 1positions of playing cards with letters on a game board rules of a word game with letters on a board if use letters of the first complete set, or how is shown in figure 2 if use letters of the second complete set.
Each player has playing cards of own proportional group, namely letters of one player have on 1-2 horizontals and letters of the second player have on 8-7 horizontals on opposite sides of the game board.
Players distinguish own playing cards by means of colors on face sheets, and also by means of focusing arrows which direct on the opponent.
Game consists that players by turns move letters on squares of the board. In turn each player can move any one letter on any number of squares over verticals or horizontals or diagonals, namely amplitudes of moving are similar to moving of chess queen.
Moving of letters probably only on free squares, namely each other letters are not imposed.
The task of game consists that it is necessary for each player to move any letter outside opposite edge of the game board. If any letter of any player crosses opposite edge of the game board then this player wins and game is finished.
During game it is necessary for players to form words and to remove from the game board such opponent's letters which are part of the formed words. Namely if you have moved own letter so that words was formed and these words include letters of the opponent then you remove such letters of the opponent from the game board and exclude from game. Provided that words can be located on verticals or horizontals or diagonals that is letters in words should be a line but between letters there should not be free squares.
If letters of one player have made a word then such letters do not remove from the game board.
In structure of words should be not less than three letters that is the word has no value if consists of two letters.

• Distance of moving for one course can be one square over verticals or horizontals or diagonals. Namely the moving amplitude of letters can be similar to moving of chess king.

• Preliminary letters belonging to players can be shuffled and located in initial game positions in casual order.

Rules of word game 2nd.
The basic principle of this game is the same as also the previous game, moving letters on squares of the game board is.
Use proportional groups of playing cards with letters from structure of any one complete set which preliminary shuffle and display in casual order on 1-2 and 8-7 horizontals. Namely proportional group of one player display openly on 1-2 horizontals, and proportional group of the second player display openly on 8-7 horizontals, and direct focusing arrows on the opponent as well as in the previous game.
Before the beginning overturn back upwards playing cards which as a result of casual preliminary position appeared on royal squares on which kings settle down in a chess game.
The turned playing cards are test, namely the task of game consists that it is necessary for each player to impose any letter on the test playing card of the opponent. Provided that letters move only on free squares during game and on each other are not imposed, but it is necessary to impose any letter on the test playing card of the opponent.
For one course players move letters on one square over verticals or horizontals or diagonals how kings move in a chess game. The turned test playing cards can move the same as other letters, but can not have part in the formed words and are not imposed on other letters.
If words are formed during game then you remove from the board that letters of the opponent which are in structure of words.
If someone of players has imposed any letter on the test playing card of the opponent then game is finished and this player wins.

• In this game it can be authorized to make two-letter words, as against the previous game in which two-letter words were not accepted in attention.
In different games it is possible to apply different rules of word-formation be agrees which in words should not less than three letters or two-letter words too can be allowable, that depends on features of those or other games.
Words can be located on verticals or horizontals or diagonals, or any one arrangement of words can be authorized, but in any case between letters there should not be free squares.
The direction of reading of words can have or not have values. Namely players can read words in any directions as in two above games, but in some games for each player any certain direction of reading of words can be authorized.


• Distance of moving of letters for one course can be any number of squares over verticals or horizontals or diagonals provided that in this case it can be forbidden to make two-letter words.

Ways of moving of letters on the game board can be different, and also tasks of games can be different, and there can be different conditions of word-formation.
The listed games are only examples of some methods according to which it is possible to formulate rules of various games. Namely it is possible to interpret rules and to pick out rules which are necessary for realization of any game interactions. And also it is possible to establish any own rules which are necessary for realization of the conceived games.

The following type of word games is based on shifting (rearrangements) of letters on squares of the game board that differs from moving. Namely it is possible to move letters only over verticals or horizontals or diagonals and it is possible to shift letters on any squares within the game board.

Rules of word game 12th.
Game is based on shifting of playing cards with letters on squares of the board.
Any number of players participates in game.
Use playing cards of two complete sets which preliminary shuffle and display casually and openly on 64 squares of the game board.
The own and another's letters do not exist, and consequently each player can choose any letters which are available on the game board for performance of a course.
Before the beginning remove the letter “Q” from the game board and do not use in game. Then players by turns shift letters on free squares which appear on the board during game.
Rearrangements of letters are probable only in the event that words will be made.
When the word is made then players remove all letters of this word from the game board.
The quantity of letters which taken off from the game board determines size of a prize, namely that player wins who has taken off more letters from the game board.
Game is finished when all players recognize that the further formation of words is impossible.

• The task of game can consist that it is necessary for each player in turn to shift any letter and to make a word, namely in this case if someone of players can not execute a course then game is finished and this player loses.
Thus players remove letters in structure of the formed words from the game board but such letters have no value as that player loses who can not execute a next course.

The following type of word games differs that letters spread (lay) on squares of the game board, namely the basic principle consists that preliminary letters have no on the board, and spread on squares during game.

Rules of word game 25th.
Game is based on laying playing cards with letters on squares of the game board.
Use two complete sets of playing cards which preliminary shuffle and have in closed piles behind of the game board.
Each player plays by letters of own complete set, namely players by turns open letters from the closed piles and lay on any free squares of the game board.
It is impossible to lay letters on each other.
If letters are laid on the game board then such letters do not play at a later time.
The task of game consists that it is necessary for each player to arrange as minimum 5 letters in a line on verticals or horizontals or diagonals provided that letters are considered as located in a line if between letters there are no free squares.
Any five letters can be located in a line to win, namely letters should not make a word. But if during game someone of players has made a word then removes from the game board and excludes from game that letter of the opponent which were part of a word.
If a word is formed only by own letters then such word do not remove from the game board, or it is possible to apply a rule according to which players can not to have own letters in a line if these letters form a word.
Game is finished when any player has arranged necessary quantity of own letters in a line. This player wins.

• There can be a variant of game in which it is authorized to impose letters on each other at formation of words. Namely players can spread letters not only on free squares but also on any other letters in that case when a word is formed in such variant of game.
Thus bottom letters in formed piles can be taken off from the game board together with top letters if the top letters will be part of words. Or it can be authorized to remove from the game board only top letters of piles.

Rules of word puzzle 5th.
The puzzle (patience) is based on moving playing cards with letters on squares of the game board.
Use one complete set of playing cards which preliminary shuffle then display casually and openly on dark squares of the game board, and letters focus arrows in one direction on even horizontals, and focus arrows in opposite direction on odd horizontals.
The puzzle consists that a player moves letters for one course on any number of squares over verticals or horizontals or diagonals.
Moving is possible only on free squares. Formation of words at moving is unessential.
The task of this puzzle consists that it is necessary to reorient all letters in any one direction, namely if as a result of moving letters there are words then a player has the right to reorient any letters in structure of the formed words. Namely if a word is made then a player chooses any letters, which are part of a word, and reorients on 180 degrees on those squares on which letters are.
If a player reoriented all letters on the game board in any one direction then this puzzle is considered as solved.

• The puzzle can be a game, namely players distinguish own letters by means of focusing arrows and if during game form words then reorient letters of the opponent in structure of words then the reoriented letters belong to that player to whom there correspond directions of focusing arrows.
Namely players have the right to use for performance of a course any letters which are focused by arrows aside the opponent, and can not use letters with opposite directions of focusing arrows.
If all letters are focused on the game board in any one direction then one of players can not execute a course and this player loses, then game is finished.

On it the brief review of several word games can be finished.
