Word game

From TheBestLinks.com

Word games can be of several different types:

Letter arrangement games, where the goal is to form words out of given letters:

• Anagrams -- both a simple game of rearranging letters and a linguistic recreation of making anagrams that seem to illuminate something about the original word, such as dog for god.
• Boggle
• Option
• Pick Two
• Scrabble
• Swedish puzzles
• Upwords
• Ghost

Paper and pencil games/puzzles:

• Acrostic puzzles
• Crossword puzzles
• Cryptograms
• Hangman
• Jotto (or Giotto)

Structured games, focussing on the semantics of words:

• Charades
• Categories
• Fictionary

Linguistic recreations based around words and letters

See word play for literary works in which the nature of the words used themselves become part of the subject of the work. See language game for a linguistic variant.
