Word game

A word game is a game that primarily utilizes words to play. The rules and objectives vary widely, but generally involve manipulating, creating, or identifying words based on specific constraints. Word games can be played individually or in groups, and often test vocabulary, spelling, pattern recognition, and strategic thinking skills.

Common types of word games include:

• Crossword Puzzles: Interlocking grid patterns where players fill in squares with words based on provided clues.

• Anagrams: Rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to create new words or phrases.

• Scrabble: A tile-based game where players form words on a board to score points.

• Boggle: A timed game where players find words in a grid of randomly arranged letters.

• Word Searches: Hidden words within a grid of letters that players must locate.

• Hangman: A guessing game where players try to identify a hidden word by suggesting letters.

• Codenames: A team-based game where players identify agents based on one-word clues.

Word games are popular forms of entertainment and can also be used as educational tools to improve language skills and cognitive abilities.
