Game with clues

Abstract

A method for playing a game that includes selecting an answer word by a first player. The first player displays a clue word and a non-clue word. One or more other players who view the displayed clue word and non-clue word guess at least one word. A round is ended after another player guesses the answer word, or the other players do not guess the answer word after one or more clue and non-clue words are displayed. The inclusion of the non-clue words increases the complexity of guessing the answer word. For example, the non-clue words can be selected by the first player to create clues for a word that is different from but common to the answer word.
