Here’s a quick, basic description of how to play Word FRENZY.
Begin by passing out a score sheet to players.
Place one less FRENZY Prize then the number of people playing in the center of the table. With six players, use 5 prizes.
Draw a category card and choose a category. A list of four letter words that relate to each category is given to help players get ideas of possible words to search for.
The dealer passes out 5 cards to every player.
When the dealer says "GO!" everyone may look at their cards. Pass to the player on your left. Draw from the discard pile of the player on your right.
Always watch the FRENZY Prizes! The first player to get four letter cards that spell a four letter word relating to the category grabs a FRENZY Prize. That's the signal for all players to stop looking for letters and grab a prize. But there aren't enough to go around so someone will miss out. Are you quick enough to grab one?
After all the prizes have been grabbed, the round ends. Players earn points by being the one to get the word. Write the word and the word points in the Word Score. The player who misses the prize loses points and writes a letter of "FRENZY" in the Prize Score.
Word FRENZY ends when one player spells FRENZY in the Prize Score similar to the old basketball game ‘Horse’. The player with the highest score wins.
That's all there is to it. It's wild and crazy. Everyone frantically passing cards and then grabbing for a prize. There's no other game like Word FRENZY!
