    Find the word is a fireside game played with pencil and paper for two (boys) players only. a word is selected say Zoo, but one player does not know that word. Three dots are put down to represent the number of letters. The player who does not know the word has to guess that word letter by letter. He is always given one chance more than the number of letters in the word chosen.
