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, prexes and
sufxes 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 Leers
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.

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.
