Witty is a vocabulary game for two players. The board is a grid of 25 terms from one APUSH period. Each turn you hold three definitions: pick one, then pick the term it defines, and that square is yours. Four in a row wins — across, down, or diagonal. The definitions in your hand decide which squares you can reach at all.
There is a printable version too — 15 two-player kits per period, and a second game called Fox played on the same board, where you hide shapes and name terms to find your opponent's. Find them on the APUSH page.
You get three definitions a turn. Click one, then click the term on the board that it defines. That square is yours.
Miss, and that card is gone for the turn. Your other cards stay live.
When a square is claimed, its card leaves the deck. Every card left in the deck matches a square still open.
Four squares in a row — across, down, or diagonal. The FREE square in the middle counts toward both players' lines.
Board full with no line: draw.
You cannot take the square you want. You can only take a square you can name. Blocking is a matter of holding the right card.
