WildWords to the rescue
March 7th, 2007 by Matt
Inventor, entrepreneur and former Montrealer, Peter Roizen, read about our Scrabble woes and offered his word board-game, WildWords, instead.
Once we lost the use of Scrabble, we decided to use a newspaper crossword puzzle instead. I think it was Phil, one of the production staff, who observed how strange it would be to have a five-year-old filling in a crossword puzzle. Hmm… it also wouldn’t read very well on film.
Regardless, Peter sent us a gently used version of the game earlier this week and - fingers crossed - it will be ready for the art department tomorrow.
Thanks, Peter!

You are welcome!
BTW, I did send a new shrink-wrapped game. Perhaps customs opened it as WildWords is unusally heavy.
Good luck with the film,
Peter

hey peter - no, we got it shrink-wrapped, i just hadn’t seen it yet. we actually wanted it to look a little used, so Sarah, our prop-master, used some sand-paper to lightly “distress” the surface.
thanks for the well-wishes. the shoot went brilliantly.
