Winning Moves Yahtzee Words – Family Word Game for 2+ Players (Ages 8+)

Roll, Spell, Score: a fresh take on Yahtzee

Winning Moves Yahtzee Words revisits a familiar classic with a witty twist: dice become letters, and words replace numbers. Originally introduced in the 1980s, this edition brings the same quick rounds and familiar scoresheet, but with a vocabulary focused challenge. Players roll seven letter dice, look at the letters they have, and try to craft words that fit the scoring blocks. The result is fast, friendly competition that keeps players thinking and talking as the game unfolds.

What is inside

• IT'S BACK: Yahtzee Words reimagines the classic with letters and words instead of numbers.
• 7 LETTER DICE: Seven dice carry letters instead of pips, inviting word building and clever combos.
• FAMILIAR SCORESHEET: The familiar upper and lower sections guide you through each turn, with a chance to chase the upper bonus.
• NOT JUST WORDS: You will aim for clever 2 to 6 letter words, but also aim for all consonants, all vowels, multiple words, and the coveted 7 letter Yahtzee.
• SKILLS: Suitable for players aged 8 and up; expect vocabulary and quick thinking to sharpen over rounds.

How to play in a nutshell

Roll the seven dice, observe the letters, and fashion words that populate the score sheet. You score by length and by special word goals. On each turn you must fill in a space; planning your rhythm across rounds adds strategy and suspense.

• Roll seven letter dice and form one or more words using the letters you see on the dice.
• Choose from standard word lengths or go for the special targets like all vowels or all consonants.
• Fill the matching box on the scoresheet; complete the upper bonus for extra points if you can.
