Charlotte Whitney conveys her ideas with knowledge, warmth, and understanding. In this book she combines two strong passions: writing and playing UPWORDS®. She plays both the board game and the online version with friends and anonymous players. When the author first began playing the game she was frustrated by the lack of information on how to improve. This book serves to fill that gap.
