What's GNU? The three-letter-word race game that spells FUN! The object of the game is to spell more three-letter words than the other players. Up to 36 Word-Starter cards, which have one letter provided and two blanks, are spread out for everyone to see. Players slide the clever Letter Getter to magically reveal two letter tiles. Kids then must look at these tiles and try to make three-letter words by filling in the blanks on the Word-Starter cards. The player with the most three-letter words when all the tiles run out wins! Building your vocabulary is three times more fun with What's GNU? For 2 to 6 players.

Great Fun!

1-2-2009 - by Jennifer from Gallipolis, OH

My 5 year old son received this game as a gift for Christmas and I was really excited about it. He thought it was really fun because of the dispenser. But, he also enjoyed playing the game. There were times that I had to create the word and he would sound it out and read it to me. The look on his face when the letters in front of him made sense was priceless. Great game!

A great "rainy day" game

The K-2 set think this is a great, fast-paced game. I think it is a great way to learn reading and spelling.

It was easy for me to adapt the rules to the needs of my 5 year old grandson.... possibilities are endless but an encouraging adult is needed to help keep a good pace and keep young ones encouraged and not overwhelmed. It's really an excellent skill builder.
