Lexogon - The Great Game of Words

“Lexogon” is a made-up word. It combines parts of “lexicon” meaning “vocabulary” and “octagon”, referring to the shape of the playing area.

What is Lexogon?

Lexogon is a challenging, fast-paced word game where you think about words in a great new way.

Lexogon stretches your brain, memory and mettle. It stimulates your vocabulary, your word recognition skills and your creativity. But – most importantly – it makes you think, laugh and want to play again.

And, unlike other word games, you’re not bored with waiting for other players to complete their turn, because you’re playing all the time.

The game's unique challenge

Think of a word that uses 3 clue letters in order, but arranged in the special way required by your “Category Rule.” There are seven different categories to solve. Category clues are determined when you land on a particular color as you go around the board. Be the first to come up with words for all seven categories and you’ve won.

But there’s risk, luck and strategy involved: you can be challenged, you can lose a turn or credit for a category, you can send someone back to “start”, you can “zap” or be “zapped” by another player – it all depends on the roll of the die, the clues and your way with words.

Different vocabulary skills levels can play together

Players of differing vocabulary skills can play together since there is an “intermediate” deck of clue cards for a high school level vocabulary and a “standard” deck for a college level vocabulary.

Sneak a Peek

Sneak A Peek is a new board game for 2006 that enables everyone from the age of 12 to 112 the ability to solve even the most difficult N.Y. Times crossword puzzle in an easy-to-play, interactive board game. Players start the game with a blank puzzle and no clues. Okay, that sounds pretty tough, but it gets easier as you go. Players amass clues every turn based on the draw of a card and roll of a die. They may answer one of their clues for points or receive a "Sneak A Peek" letter from anywhere on the board. Answers are easily verified, and the correct answer is entered on the playing board, with points either awarded or deducted. The player notes their clues (and SAP letter if they pass their turn) on their personal "cheat sheet," and play continues to the next player. As the game progresses, the board is filling in, and higher scoring opportunities, as well as heart rates, are escalating. Players start realizing the answers to many of their earlier clues as well as probable answers to partially completed words on the playing board. Double and triple point cards, as well as SAP letters, keep everyone in the game, and the wild cards will test your board game strategy. Do you answer a clue that you’ve already figured out or receive new clues that could be worth far more points? There is only one winner, but all players will relish the wit of some of America’s premier crossword constructors and the satisfaction of completing their puzzles. Variations of play let you "raise the bar" to the ultimate crossword challenge. Are You Game?

Syzygy is great for up to a dozen players ages 9 and above. It is fast paced, easy to learn and fun to play. Syzygy is a perfect way to build vocabulary and spelling skills. Syzygy is quick to set up so you can take it on trips or keep it handy for a spur-of-the-moment game. 

Each player draws 9 letter tiles from a pool of 304 letter tiles. Someone says "Go" and everyone turns their tiles right side up and begins to construct a crossword puzzle. All words must connect just like a crossword puzzle.

First person to use all 9 tiles says "DRAW" and everyone must draw a new tile from the pool and proceed to add the new tile to their puzzle which may mean rearranging the tiles already placed. Words evolve, the puzzle evolves and when all the tiles are used up, first person to use their last tile yells "DONE". Everyone must stop. Each player now reads their words so that everyone can see that their puzzle is legitimately constructed. This gives the opportunity for players to learn vocabulary words from each other.
