Crossword (1978) by LGB is a quick-thinking word game where players use letter cubes to build the highest scoring crossword before the timer runs out. Simple to learn but endlessly replay able, it’s a classic word challenge that tests both your vocabulary and your speed.
How to Play Players roll 13 letter cubes onto the playing surface and race against the timer to form words in a crossword pattern. Each letter carries a point value, and words built across and down are scored, with shared letters counting twice. Jokers add extra flexibility, substituting for any letter. After each turn, scores are recorded, and play passes to the next person. The winner is the player with the highest total score after the agreed number of turns. For solo play, challenge yourself to achieve the best score possible in a single timed round.

It’s great for family game nights, parties, or sharpening your vocabulary in a fun, fast-paced way. Renting Crossword is also a brilliant way to enjoy a rare retro game without needing to hunt down a collector’s copy.
