## Description
Imagine a game where everyone knows the answer except you. That's the core chaos of Letter Jam! It's a cooperative word challenge where the goal is to figure out which letters you are holding. The twist? You place your cards in a stand facing the other players; you are the only one blind to your own letters, while your friends see everything.

The dynamics are gripping: in each round, everyone analyzes the letters available on the table and tries to construct the longest word possible. The player who comes up with the longest word becomes the 'clue giver'. Instead of saying the word, they use numbered tokens to indicate the sequence of letters. If token '1' goes to Player A, it means the first letter of the secret word is the one Player A is holding. There's even a wild card to help out, but it cannot be explicitly revealed.

As clues emerge, you try to deduce your own letter. Once you think you've cracked it, you place the card face down and move to the next. The game concludes when everyone attempts to arrange their letters into a valid word. The group's success depends on how many players can form real words at the end. It's an intense mental exercise and highly rewarding, turning spelling into a collective puzzle. If you enjoy deduction games and want something that gets the group thinking together without the pressure of competition, Letter Jam is the perfect pick.

## FAQ

Not at all! The basic rule is simple: you don't see your letter, others do, and numbered clues help you figure it out.

From 2 to 6 players. The more people, the more letters on the table and the more complex the puzzle becomes.

### How long does a game take?
Usually around 45 minutes, depending on how quickly the group can deduce the words.

It's not mandatory, but there is an app that helps set up the initial words. Alternatively, players can choose words for each other.

### Is it suitable for people who dislike complex games?
Yes, the weight is low (around 2/5). The challenge lies in logic and vocabulary, not in complicated rules.
