The Amazing Illustrated Word Game Memory Books Vol. I, Set I: The Central Seven Six-Letter Stems: INEAST, RNEAST, IREAST, INRAST, INERST, INEART and I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425945084)

If ever you have been humiliated playing word games, wondered how some players seem to pull seven-letter words out of a hat, questioned what your favorite game words meant, or simply could use a humorous, mentally stimulating way to rapidly recall key bonus words, then The Amazing Illustrated Word Game Memory Book is for you. This volume organizes letters in groups of six, the so-called six-letter stems, according to those most likely to lead to seven-letter bonus-scoring words. The letters of my central seven six-letter stems; INEAST, RNEAST, IREAST, INRAST, INERST, INEART and INEASR, are ones that are highly likely to show up in scrambled array in a word-game-seven-letter hand, and are the ones most likely to generate seven-letter bonus words. For example, add any letter, except J, Q or Y, to INEAST and one or more of the seven-letter words in the official word-game lexicon show up, but of course you have to know them and quickly unscramble them to be able to use them. In this volume these words are mentally filed for instantaneous recall through the use of coded, dramatically humorous stories and pictures. Active participation on the part of the reader in the form of reading, reciting, writing and coloring is used to trigger memory traces in both the right and left-brain. Mental visualization of pictures is used to reinforce photographic memory. And the humorous, dramatic or sometimes politically incorrect stories that go with the pictures are used to reinforce emotional memory traces. In addition the stories and the seven-letter words that go with the stories are organized according to an alphanumeric code that helps create a mental filing cabinet for rapid retrieval of the words in question. A method of play that will further increase the chances of forming bonus-scoring game-words is also given.
