The term Bowling Goal is composed of three words: Lanes (5 letters), PIN (3 letters), and STRIKE (6 letters). Lanes refer to the long, narrow strips of wood or synthetic material that form the playing surface of a bowling alley. Pins are the objects that are set up at the end of each lane and must be knocked down by the bowler in order to score points. A STRIKE is when all ten pins are knocked down with the first ball. Therefore, the Bowling Goal is to knock down all the pins with the first ball, resulting in a STRIKE.
