Out of Words FR

Out of Words is a high-speed category game from Queen Games that turns the traditional word-search genre on its head. Instead of just finding the "best" word, you are racing against a ticking clock and a shrinking pool of options.

In Out of Words, players work together in a race against a shrinking alphabet. It’s a cooperative party game where your goal is to guess as many words as possible before you literally run out of letters to use as clues.

How It Plays
The Grid: The game starts with a 5x5 grid of 25 letter tiles placed in the center of the table.

The Hint: One player (the "Clue Giver") draws a card with a secret word. To help the team guess it, they must provide a one-word hint.

The Restriction: The hint word must start with one of the letters currently available in the 5x5 grid.

The Vanishing Act: * If the team guesses correctly on the first try, the letter used for the hint is replaced with a new one.

If the team misses, the Clue Giver can provide up to four additional hints (using a new letter each time).

The Catch: Any letters used for unsuccessful guesses—or used after the first successful hint—are discarded and not replaced.

Game Over: As the game progresses, the grid thins out. Eventually, you'll be left with difficult letters (like X, Q, or Z), making it harder to describe simple concepts. The game ends when the grid is completely empty.

Unleash your inner wordsmith! Race against the clock to find the perfect word before the letters vanish.

• Disappearing Letters: A unique "vanish" mechanic adds thrilling time pressure that standard word games lack. No Waiting: Simultaneous play ensures everyone is engaged at once—zero downtime between turns. Easy to Learn, Hard to Win: Simple rules make it accessible for families, while the speed keeps it intense for pros.
