Word mastermind, new improved version from 1975. 

  • Publisher: Invicta
  • Release year: 1975​

Description
This word version is from 1975, three years after the original was first released, and it contains small yellow print.

A word version of the popular Mastermind game with letters instead of colors. In this version, players should try to guess three- and four-letter words with the least number of attempts.

Small yellow letters are placed on the board and instructions are given as to whether the letter appears in the word of the Wordmaker. Black indication: correct letter and location. White indication: correct letter, wrong location.

Condition
This set is in a good vintage condition with normal traces of use and age-related traces of wear. This mainly concerns the box.

Size of box

  • Height: 3 cm.
  • Length: 31.5 cm.
  • Width: 13.5 cm.

Word mastermind is another variation of the classic version of Mastermind, where the code consists of the four letters of an existing word. The amount of possible codes is higher due to the fact that there are more possible code pawns (letters instead of colors) than with the classic version. When breaking the code, the code breaker uses both logical thinking and his / her vocabulary.

At first glance, the game of Lingo resembles word mastermind, but solving has been made much easier by not only indicating the numbers of correct letters, but also which ones they are.
