From the Manufacturer Word Sweep is the award-winning game where players try to identify three consecutive words from a Merriam-Webster dictionary. To play, one player reads a card containing the definitions of three words which appear consecutively in a Merriam-Webster dictionary. Another player tries to guess all three words to make a word sweep. If the word sweep isn't solved completely, opponents can steal the remaining words. Correct guesses advance players around the board to win. The game features over 2,300 Merriam-Webster's definitions in three difficulty levels. It is for two to four players or teams. The game includes junior rules so it's perfect for either family or adult-only play.

Good word game that makes you think
I remember giving this game to a friend as a Christmas present around 2006. I recently borrowed it from him to bring to my game groups. It's been a hit. You are given three definitions of words that appear consecutively in the dictionary. You then have 40 seconds (amount of time in the timer) to write down and come up with the words. During this time, you can consult with teammates. It's a good idea to team up for this game because two heads are usually better than one.When the timer expires, the person or team gives the three words. He/they move one space on the board for each correct word. Other players/teams, in turn, get a shot at any missed words. You only hear how many words you got right - you don't hear which words are right. You have to figure that out, and you must give the EXACT WORD on the card. The wrong tense or form, like adding ING if it's not on the card, makes it wrong.There are three boxes of words to choose from:PURPLE - Everyday - easyGREEN - Intermediate - mediumRED - Challenging - hardIf you get all three words correct, you must pick the next difficult level on your next turn, unless it's the red box. You don't have to pick the red box again, since that's the most difficult. Getting all three in the green box moves you four spaces on the board. Getting all three in the red box moves you five spaces, one and two bonus spaces, respectively.First player or team to get to the Finish wins. Overall a good and challenging game that could help you improve your vocabulary.

fun and challenging
This is a challenging and fun game. It gets everyone thinking. I played with 2 grandchildren and their mother. Each of us tried to think [silently] of everyone else's words, no matter whose turn it was. That and the addition of the great interest in making the trip around the board, preferably first, made for intense enthusiasm.

Ok game for older children
This game is more fun if you have at least 3 players. Younger players (9 and below) will have a hard time competing, even if they are using the younger rules. It's a little bit of a challenge to remember the three definitions...writing them down is kind of time consuming.We had a good time playing the game, but it's not one that we would pull out of the cabinet first.
