Word Cube
July 13, 2010
Word cube is game in which players form words from the nine letters in a cube. Words must have four or more letters and must use the central letter from the cube; at least one word will use all nine letters in the cube. The player who forms the most words wins. Many newspapers publish a word cube on their puzzle page, and Stealthcopter publishes a word cube on line daily. Wikipedia describes word cubes under the caption “word polygon.” There are twelve words formed from the word cube at right: bonnie, bunion, coin, concubine, conic, cubic, ennui, icon, nice, nine, nuncio, and union.
