Letterle

Letterle is a two-player Italian word game. It has been popular since the 16th century and continues to be so today.

The game is played on a standard letter-sized grid, with the goal of making words out of tiles. At the end of a game, the player with the most points wins. The game has a wide variety of rules and variants, but they all revolve around making words out of tiles, and those mechanics are repeated in nearly every rule below.

You can play indefinitely without repeating any words because there are an infinite number of possible combinations of the 26 letters available in English (although you might get the same word if you keep playing again and again). Each category, however, only has six-letter tiles. This keeps things interesting while limiting your ability to specialize in any one area.

The following is how to play Letterle with two people:

You begin by reading a numbered list of words that are all slightly different from one another. The first player writes down as many words that begin with the first letter of the list as they can. The second player reads each word and searches their list for a match. After each player has submitted their answers, the list is usually read again and new words are added until no one can think of any more new words and only their old answers remain on the board. You must discard your letter card after using all of the letters in your answer and draw another from the same pile.

Playing Instructions

- In each attempt, find the hidden word.
- A four-letter word must be included in each attempt.
- After each attempt, the colors of the letters change; the green letter is correct, while the grey letter is incorrect.
- The game allows you to post the results on social networks while depicting the series of attempts with colors but without revealing the letter to increase interest and curiosity in attempting to reveal the letter to which you have been challenged.
