Alphabet Soup

I had an idea for a map.... was wondering if this was the place to post to discuss. Here we go, don't laugh at me too much if I suck......
It is sort of a "Scrabble" meets "Risk" idea. Based on the English alphabet..... kind of a bowl of "Alphabet Soup" concept. Conquer letters as you would territories, use them to spell words on the side to collect bonuses.... Maybe hold all vowels for bonus, or have a set of "spoons" as neutrals to start off with that can bombard any territory....Win conditions set if you hold a certain word/phrase for a round......some words/or letter combination's would cause you to LOSE armies rather than gain them....... not sure really just off the top of my head right now really, any thoughts or do I suck and should I just stick to playing the game......
