Notably, the remaining playing cards were distributed into the rooms to be retrieved, rather than dealt directly to the players. Shortly thereafter, Pratt and his wife, Elva Pratt (1913–1990), who had helped design the game, presented it to Waddingtons' executive Norman Watson, who immediately purchased it and provided its trademark name of Cluedo (a play on "clue" and " Ludo", the Latin word for "I play" and the name of a popular board game based on Pachisi).
