The Refreshingly Fun Word Game

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I matched the same target letter twice in my word. Do I increase the multiplier?

A: No. The multiplier is the number of target letters matched, not how many times the

target letter is matched.

Q: I used the “?” to match a target letter. Does this count?

A: Yes. If the target letter is matched in the word, it counts — regardless of whether it is an

actual letter or a “?”.

(Note: The only way to match the “J” or “X” target letters in your word is to use the “?”. The only

way to use a “Q” or “Z” in your word is with “?”, which are not present on the ice cube dice.)

Q: Can I still score any points if I did not match any target letters in my word?

A: Yes, but only bonus points, which are added after the target letter multiplier. See the

example for Willy on page 3.

Q: What words are allowed? Can I use slang words?

A: Any words found in a standard dictionary are allowed, except abbreviations, prexes and

sufxes by themselves, and any words that must be capitalized (like proper nouns) or that

use a hyphen or an apostrophe. If there is a disagreement, check a dictionary. If a player

fails to correctly spell an allowed word, they score no points.

Variant: Sugar Cube

The player with the lowest total score at

the end of each round gets the sugar cube

die added to their drink dice. The player

may use the sugar cube as they would

their regular drink dice. This increases the

chances of matching target letters and

also getting bonus points for ve-, six-,

or seven-letter words. (You may make an

eight-letter word but this scores 25 bonus

points, like a seven-letter word.)

Variant: Optional Rules for

Younger Players

Use any or all of these rules to help level

the playing eld for younger players.

1. Younger players have unlimited rerolls.

2. Younger players get a head start: Upon

the rst ip of the timer, only the younger

players start. When the time is up, ip the

timer again and everyone plays.

3. Younger players ignore the target letters

and instead multiply their word score by

the total number of letters in their word.

4. If younger players are having trouble

making ve-, six-, or seven-letter words,

ip over their drinking straw boards to side

B (the “More Bonus Points!” side) and use

the alternative bonus point allocations

there, which start at three-letter words.

Variant: Rerolling Target Leers

You may choose to add this rule: If,

immediately after the starting player rolls

the ice cube dice, all players agree that

they would prefer new target letters, the

starting player may reroll the ice cube dice.

cool down with ice cubes. To do this, each player must build a word using their

set of drink dice while trying to match as many of the letters on the ice cube

dice as possible. The goal is to build the highest-scoring word that you can each

round. The player with the highest total score at the end of the game wins.

Scoring Examples

For this example, the target letters are

Charlie spelled

The points on the letters in this word

are 2, 1, and 2, for a word score of 5

points. Three of the target letters

are matched in this word; 5 x 3 = 15.

No bonus points are earned because

the word has fewer than 5 letters.

Charlie’s round score is 15.

Aurora spelled

The “?” can be used as any letter, but

is worth zero points in the word score.

In this example, the “?” is used as an

“C” to spell the word “MATCH”, and

therefore it matches one of the target

letters in this round. The points on the

letters in this word are 3, 1, 1, 0, and 2,

for a word score of 7 points. Three of

the target letters are matched in this

word; 7 x 3 = 21. For a 5-letter word,

Aurora earns 5 bonus points. Her

round score is 26.

Willy spelled

Unfortunately, Willy did not roll any

of the letters needed to match the

target letters, so instead p2-he focused

on making the longest word possible.

The points on the letters in this word

are 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, and 1, for a word score

of 13 points. None of the target letters

are matched in this word; 13 x 0 = 0.

However, for a 6-letter word, Willy

earns 10 bonus points. His round

score is 10.

Addy spelled

Addy is a third grader competing

against her parents and an older

sibling, and the Optional Rule #3 for

Younger Players is in effect for this

game. The points on the letters in the

word are 1, 2, 1, and 3, for a word score

of 7 points. Due to the optional rule,

the target letters are ignored, but the

word is 4 letters long, so 7 x 4 = 28. No

bonus points are earned because the

word has fewer than 5 letters. Addy’s

round score is 28.
