In Word Explosion, everyone is dealt a hand of 10 cards. You’ll play them by matching letters, continuing the alphabet, spelling words, or using an action card. Whoever empties their hand first, wins!  But beware of having your last card challenged – UH OH…

There are two game modes. FORWARD and REVERSE. All games will begin in the FORWARD mode.  The game will switch into the REVERSE mode when the Game Reverse Action Card is played. If the Game Reverse Action Card is played in REVERSE mode the game will switch back to FORWARD mode.
