About the game

What is Spellmaster

The game or "educational toy" as described on the underside of the box lid was aimed at helping younger children spell 100 words correctly.

Consists of a perforated base board, 20 word cards (each with 5 pictures on) and 80 plastic letter tiles.

If the word is spelt correctly the tiles will easily fit onto the appropriate square; the ‘snap’ of a correctly positioned letter is actually pretty satisfying. A letter in the wrong place will not fit (==> mistake proofing). There are sufficient letter tiles to complete a card. Once a card has been completed the letters are removed and another card selected.

Some letters can be used upside down [n vs u; b vs q; d vs p)
