It's quite difficult, because some of the words really suck. We played semi-cooperatively because we didn't really care who won, we were just having some fun. I lead out with:
WHO HELD A NEW GIRL WHEN YOU TOLD THEM TO STOP?
Scrabblette replied with:
A LEG HELD OUT AND HAD HIM UP.
and the kid chimed in with the very curious:
HOW HARD THE BIG WIFE GOT HIM.
We realised eventually that it's worth chasing the 50 point bonus for 7 word sentences, if you can, but since I was struggling to make one sentence, several of them were unlikely to happen. Scrabblette continued with:
I RAN DOWN THE ATER IN MY LADY WALK.
We don't know what an ATER is either. We decided it could be a wild. The kid continued with:
HE GAVE ME THE SMALL NEW LEG LATER.
I tried to catch up with:
SHE IS OUR WHITE LADY WIFE BUT THE OLD BABY ATE HER.
Scrabblette responded ferociously with:
HE GOT OUT SOME DIRTY PART WHERE SHE SAW MY GOOD BLACK FOOT.
I GAVE UP LIKE ANY OLD BOY.
STOP THIS BIG FOOT IN YOUR PART.
and romped to victory. I hope she never makes me play it again.

I don't understand.
But I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.
You roll dice that have words on them and you have to make sentences. Hey... I didn't even mention what game it was. I'll edit.
Yeah, I didn't get it either.
I read somewhere that this was made in India or somewhere where FLET and ATER are words. I looked up FLET and it means "skimmed" in English, but ATER produced nothing except some common acronyms for institutions. I guess it would have to be a wild, unless you could decide before the game on a common meaning or at least part of speech for it - e.g. "It's a noun/verb/adjective".
Maria, I wrote that description on BGG, and I may have been a little sarcastic. We're guessing that ATER is a misprint and should have been LATER, but haven't got a theory for FLET. This game has about the lowest production values I've seen.
FLET came up in the online free dictionary as meaning "skimmed"
However, I could suggest common words that "ATER" and "FLET" could be (and I think it might be a good idea to pick one for each before the game begins), though I don't know whether any of these words appears on the other "dice" so you wouldn't want to double up. Or maybe you would.
I think these are your most likely shots:
ATER - LATER, AFTER, ATE, maybe CATER
FLET - FLIT, FELT, FLED, maybe FLEET
