Intro

This is a great little word game to get the cognitive juices flowing. The aim is to make a 6-letter word from a selection of pairs of letters. We make things a little easier by telling you the 2 middle ones – and giving you a clue. For example, you might get __ __ DD __ __ with the clue “slightly drunk”. The answer? TIDDLY!

It’s a great little game over a morning coffee when someone has 10 minutes to spare, and it can also be played on a large board with a group.

The Activity

  1. Sit at a table or find a quiet space
  2. Pick one of the word games
  3. Look at the 6-letter word, and notice the blanks on either side and the 2 letters you’re given (remember, the middle letters stay the same throughout each game)
  4. Read the clue
  5. Choose a pair of letters for the blank sections at the beginning and end, to create a word that answers the clue
  6. If you want to do this as a group activity, write the letters on the board and read out the clues to the group
