The Wurdz deck has 31 letter cards, 21 wild cards, and 4 rules cards.

On their turn, players draw the top card, say a word, and score its points. After going through the deck the highest score wins.

There are two modes:

Alphabet Game: Say a word that has the names of one or more letters of the alphabet in its pronunciation (not its spelling). If it's a letter card, the name of that letter must be part of it. E.g., if it's 'L', the word "elbow" has the names of the letters L and O in its pronunciation, and scores 2 points.

Word Game: Say a word that has other words as part of its pronunciation. If it's a letter card, the word must begin with that letter. E.g., if it's 'C', the word "cargo" contains the pronunciations of the words "car", "are", "go", and "oh", for 4 points.

The Wild cards specify one or more requirements:

• Single: The stated word needs only one other word or letter name as part of it.
• Multiple: The stated word needs at least two other words or letter names.
• Same: The stated word needs at least one other word or letter name stated at least twice. (E.g. "Ohio" says O twice.)
