Find words for letters and categories; this time, tags for categories and letters are placed into the game unit in a row and a column to form the headers for a 5x5 grid which is filled with marbles in three colors.

The active player in his turn has 15 seconds to find valid words for the intersection points of letter and category and, for each valid word, takes the respective marble and the topic tag, if he managed to empty the category columns, having found five words with corresponding first letters for the same category. The other players watch the timer - the active player does not need to pay attention to it - and protest in case of invalid words. Words are invalid, when they are too general, for instant Sand for Africa, or only a translation like Aqua for water or if the starting letter is a mis-spelling.

A round ends, when either all marbles have been taken or nobody finds a valid word anymore. All now score for their marbles and tags - 1, 2 or 3 points for a white, blue or black marble and 1 point per colored star on the tags. When all players have been starting player once, you win with most points.

For mixed groups of children and adults or in case of players with varying commands of the language you can adapt the game by changing of the scoring and by allowing more time for some players, or be more lenient, by accepting Sand for Africa, for instance.

A very enjoyable and agreeable new edition, with functional and attractive components and well-chosen categories from Crime to sports, brand names, language or food & drinks. One of my favorite games, then and still today,
