This is a Vintage 1974 Word Shaker Challenging Word Game Ball by Alabe Products.  The premise of the game is to spill the tiles from the shaker and arrange the letters into vertical and horizontal words intersecting in the from of a cross-word.  You have two minutes to form as many words as possible.  keeping score is simple.  Count up the number of tiles used vertically, multiply that number by the number of tiles used horizontally and then finally subtract the number of unused tiles (simpler score keeping methods exist).  It is part of Alabe's Family Game Challenge line and is recommended for 2 or more players.  Comes with everything you see here including the Original Box.  Game is in good vintage pre-owned condition.  Box shows some signs of wear consistent with age and use.  Please review and enlarge all photos for additional details and views.
