12. “Sweet Spelling” sounds like a sticky mess.
The early 1900’s game “sweet spelling” used sugar cubes like dice. Letters were written on each side of the cube with ink, omitting difficult letters like X or Z. Each player tossed the cubes onto the table, in hopes that it will spell out a word. The game keeps going until someone finally gets a word. The winner gets to eat the sugar…But who would really want to eat them after everyone has touched them, and they are filled with ink?
