A simple, but ingenious
word game which starts
with 110 letter tiles.
Players start with up to
52 tiles and need to use
their letters to create
six 'pairs' of words...
except there is a catch!
The letters on the tiles
also feature various
patterns or shadings. The
challenge is to beat your
opponent by ensuring that
your pairs of words are
made up of letters with
the same pattern or
shading and outscore them
as a result. Very clever.

Each of the ten Silly
Stories and two Even
Sillier Stories is full
of missing words - nouns,
adjectives, verbs and
adverbs. There are over
200 magnetic words which
can be used to fill the
blanks... either in a
sensible way, or more
likely to create
hilarious silly stories!
The whole game is
fantastic and children
will absolutely love
creating their own
ridiculous tales within
the different story
themes, whilst
strengthening their
understanding of words
and how they are used to
build sentences and
stories...

Using your tiles, the
idea is to create your
own individual crossword,
which can constantly be
rearranged as you and
your opponent(s) add
further tiles. You can
swap tiles (with a
penalty), but be the
first player to use up
all of your letters,
once the complete set has
been used, and you win
that game. This is a
fast-paced anagram
challenge that will drive
you bananas!

From the makers of the
classic puzzle Rush Hour
comes a brand new
challenge - Word-A-Round.
The game couldn't be
simpler. Flip over each
card and be the first
person to work out the
word which has been
assembled with the
letters in the correct
order, but in a wheel.
Attempting this at speed
will send you brain into
a spin! The longer words
are often not the most
challenging either. You
simply need to be quick -
really quick as you race
to unravel each word.
Word-A-Round includes 100
cards and 300 words.
Officially it's for ages
10 to adult, but most 8
and 9 year olds will
thoroughly enjoy it too!

Apple Letters is a series
of clever word games,
most of which involve
creating snake-like
chains of words, with
each player adding onto
one side of the snake
during their turn.
However, in the main
game, Apple Turnover,
there is a glorious
twist! After each word
has been placed, the
next player has the
opportunity to better the
length of the word that
has just been placed and
force the previous player
to take their letters
back. You will need to be
strategic too, making
sure that you keep back
enough of your own tiles
for future rounds,
ensuring that you don't
end up being given your
own tiles back! Get rid
of your tiles first to
win!

Double Duel is a fast
game of words and
definitions. Each of the
400 challenges offers 2
definition clues and the
two answers will be
homophones - they sound
similar, but are spelt
differently - so for
example; 'the opposite of
left and something you do
with a pencil' would be
right and write; 'the
opposite of fine and a
subject in school' would
be coarse and course. Now
for the best bit - it's
fingers on buzzers - and
you get four of them
(each requires 2 x AAA
batteries - not
included). There are also
two levels of difficulty.
It's hilarious and
requires incredibly quick
thinking!

With each challenge, the
transparent coloured
pieces must be placed

every letter is covered

covers a series of
letters that form a real
word. The words could be
spelled forwards or
backwards making them
much harder to spot. It's
extremely clever and
wonderful challenging
fun.

Syl-la-bles is a game for
all ages which can be
played with different
levels of difficulty. The
aim is to come up with
the longest possible word
with the highest number
of syllables. Your word
must start with the
letter on the space on
which you land. The
longer the words and the
greater the number of
syllables, the more
points you score. To gain
your points, you also
have to spell your word
correctly. Do you risk
misspelling a difficult
word and scoring zero
points, or do you spell
an easy word to ensure
you score something? Land
on the space marked
Thesaurus and the player
must give another word
with the same meaning for
the word on top of the
card. Land on a Spelling
Bee space and correctly
spell the word on the
Spelling Bee card.
Educational & fun,
Sy-la-bles is the game
for all ages that
encourages you to think
big.

Players have to findas
many words as they can in
two minutes. However,
the letters on the dice
are ambigious and some
could represent more than
one letter depending on
how you see it, is it a
'd' or a 'p', an 'm' or
a 'w' or an 'e'? So not
only are you trying to
make words, you also
have to decide how to
define the letters!
Exceptionally clever!
