Before reaching Finish players collect one word of each long vowel sound (5 - 6 words). Players go backwards from Finish if they don't have the full set.

Rules B
Before reaching Finish, players collect 4 -ea- and 4 -oo- words. ( or vary the sounds to suit). Players go backwards from Finish if they don't have the full set.

Rules C
When a player lands on a word, the next player must think of a word with the same sound (preferably one which isn't already on the board). All players should write this word down. If they can't think of a word, they miss a turn. the first player to reach Finish wins!
