Word game ideas

[FusionChefGeoff]

My mum loves scrabble, boggle, banagrams, countdown - anything to do with words / vocabulary / puzzles.

Any suggestions for a game or gift on this theme? Not the scrabble family names things, or mugs etc. as that's not really her but a quick google isn't throwing much up so..

If you like word games what would you want for Christmas?!

Countdown desk calendar or the Crossword A Day calendar
How to solve cryptic crosswords book
Scrabble dictionary
A Word A Day book
Word Perfect by Susie Dent

Thank you - there's some lovely ideas there I'll have a look now.

Scattergories

I've got the Susie Dent book and the cryptic crosswords book is a possibility but I'd love a game still - she's got scattegories!!

Bumping for the weekend

upwords is like scrabble with 3d twist

articulate is another big hit with my wordy friends. Taboo and Who's in the Bag play on a similar theme of having to describe without using certain words
