Description of play:

Players choose a playing board with 12 unfinished short vowel words. Playing cards show a doughnut and a letter that will finish one or more words represented on the playing boards. On each turn, players choose one playing card and try to fit it onto the board to create a good word. Two levels of difficulty are possible with this game: using the doughnut style as a guide to help make real words, thus limiting choices to 4 per board, or choosing freely among all 12 words on the board for more challenging play. The game is won when all 12 words have been finished.
