How do you play that word game, Probe?

Question

It is an old word game from the 60's. I have the game but no instructions. I don't need details, just the basics to play with my small special ed group. Thanks!

Hi,

What a cool game.  It is kind of like Hangman.  You put your letter cards face down on the plastic holder.  You can add blanks at the beginning or end of the word.  Face your word to the other player and you try to guess the word a letter at a time.   That is the gist; the details are on the hasbro website that was passed along to you.

Oh, here's a tip.  Use the word 'strawberry.'  It is a simple yet killer word!

Have fun!!

My guess would be that the '77 version is probably the one that will match up with the 60's version of the game.

Happy gaming!
