From BoardGameGeek
This game is all about thinking up clever words that will be hard to decipher and cleverly combining letter pieces to guess secret words. Decipher is a different kind of word game for 2–4 players. Players use four differently-shaped letter pieces to create and solve word puzzles. In each round, a different player builds a secret word puzzle. The others know only which letter pieces are in the secret word and gather clues and points by asking about where letter pieces go. Can you decipher the the secret word? The Letter Piece Game system is a special way to build letters from four different basic shapes. The idea for the Letter Piece Game™ system comes from the game designers of Wordsmith - Bill Eberle, Greg Olotka, Peter Olotka, and Jack Kittredge - whose credits include Cosmic Encounter, Dune, Hoax, and more. Decipher includes the same playful semi-transparent colored plastic letter pieces found in Wordsmith. A special plastic insert turns the game box into a game component. -description from the publisher
