The device may be modified by arranging the lettered and numbered spaces on the base around the disc, providing the pointer and on the disc. The pointer may be provided with a slit 14 to hold a stiff piece of paper 15 which is brushed aside by projections 16 on the disc and ensures that a peripheral space shall finally settle in front of the pointer. Score sheets marked with squares are provided and are filled in by the players according to the indications of the spinning device so as to form words and score according to the rules of the game.
