A writer by the name of David Whitelaw persuaded the company to produce and sell a word game - Lexicon. The simple, elegant design of the Lexicon cards allows for several other gaming possibilities. The modern edition of the game comes with rules for two variant games – Lexicon Riddance and Lexicon Criss Cross. The former involves players taking it in turns to form a word using the cards in their hand and one single exposed card on the table. The aim is to get rid of all their cards before their rivals. Criss Cross requires players to draw cards in turn and then write the revealed letters in a 25 square grid hoping to form complete words that will score points. discard one of his cards and take either the exposed card or the blind one from the pile. He must discard before taking up the exposed or blind card. The discarded card is placed on the top of, or in the place of, the exposed card and this becomes the exposed card on the table.No player is allowed to pass his turn without doing one of these four alternatives, but he is not allowed to do more than one in the same turm. The summer of 1932 saw the introduction of this game, when a small edition was produced and sold to test the market. Above: The rule book carries a date of October 1933, and a section on "How to Arrange a Lexicon Drive".
