"Instant classic: among the best of word games"

BuyWord is a game of words with a twist. You pay good hard cash to buy your letters, then form a word to sell at a profit, if you can. Your payoff depends on the letters in your word.

BuyWord mixes basic mathematics, money management, and good old-fashioned word-building in a simple, yet elegant blend that keeps every player involved in every turn until the very end.

Buyword plays great with 2, 3, or 4 players or as a solitaire game. In addition to the basic game, the rules include many variants.
