Learn About Word Games

What Are Word Games?

Word games are puzzles that rely upon a player’s language ability to solve them. They can be competitive games where one player’s skill is pitted against another’s as in Hangman, Scrabble or charades; or they may have a player to solve the puzzle creator’s challenge like in crosswords.

Word games are found in almost all written languages and are widely regarded as both entertainment and education. Media has helped to promulgate their popularity: the crossword is a fixture of almost all daily newspapers, the word puzzler is a regular feature on many National Public Radio shows, while television has spawned the mega-hit “Wheel of Fortune”, a variation on the classic game of Hangman.

Word games can be classified into three categories: games in which paper and pen are used to solve the puzzle; games in which letter tiles or dice – either real or virtual – are rearranged to find or create words; and games in which words are either implied or enacted. Additionally there are various types of “word play” type games like puns, acronyms and double entendres that writers occasionally incorporate into their work as sport for their readers.

Games that use paper and pencil include crosswords and the word jumble (sometimes called “word search”), as well as Hangman, a popular word guessing game. Games that use tiles and dice to rearrange words include Parker Brothers’ popular Scrabble and Boggle, Perquackey and Facebook’s Scramble. Games in which words are implied or enacted include riddles, charades, Fictionary and Parker Brothers’ Pictionary

The History of Word Games

Riddles are the oldest known word games, and arguably still the most popular. “Who becomes pregnant without conceiving, who becomes fat without eating,” asks a Babylonian cuneiform. The answer? A rain cloud.

Charades dates to 16th century when it was one of the parlor games popular at the French court.

Games that depend upon spelling skills became popular with the rise of mass literacy and spelling standardization in the 19th century. The origins of Hangman are shrouded in mystery, but a description of the game’s rules first appeared in a 1894 book called “Traditional Games” where it was called “Birds, Beasts and Fishes.”

Word square games have been found in the ruins of Pompeii, but the first recognizable crossword – a four by four grid with horizontal and vertical clues – appeared in the Italian magazine Il Secolo Illustrato della Domenica in 1894. Twenty-one years later the first “wordcross” was published in the New York World newspaper. “Wordcross” became “crossword” in a typesetter’s mistake. The puzzle quickly became a craze, driving newspaper circulation around the world and springing up in every language that uses an alphabet. Simon and Schuster brought out the first crossword puzzle book in 1924 – it came with a pencil; and The New York Times began publishing its venerable puzzle in 1942. Today it’s been estimated that some 40 million Americans enjoy crossword puzzles for recreation.

Scrabble was the brainchild of a Depression-era architect who couldn’t find work. Alfred Mosh Butts analyzed the frequency with which letters appear in the English language to come up with distribution and point value for his lettered tiles. The original game called “Lexiko” used a hundred squares and did not catch on until James Brunot, one of the original investors, bought the exclusive rights to manufacture the game, simplified the rules, and changed its name to “Scrabble.” The game became a hit after the president of Macy’s began stocking it in his department store. In 1971, the first national Scrabble tournament was played. The first Official Scrabble Players Dictionary was published in 1978.

Boggle was invented in 1972 by Alan Turoff. Very little is known about his inspirations. The game was not a hit with players, however, until Parker Brothers relauched it in 1976 with an extremely popular advertising campaign.

Who Will Like These Games?

Word game aficionados come from every walk of life. What they share is a love for puzzles and for language. Word games are the nexus where visual and linguistic skills meet. For the very young, word games provide a stealthy form of education, teaching as they entertain. For older players word games can be both a social recreation and a solitary passion and a great way both to improve vocabulary and keep the mind sharp.

Treeline89, Inventive, simple wi a few flawsI rated Letterpress 5-Stars because it’s in the top echelon of app games. I don’t mean that it is without its design shortcomings, however. I will make the following 3 observations:(1) it’s fun, and as you play more you figure out alternative strategies to the initial attack & burrow-in approach which can be equally effective. I like the minimalism of its rules, format and operations.(2) the lexicon continues to baffle me. I still play words which are valid but disallowed.

And the abundance of foreign words that are allowed are disconcerting (“zapateros” was a recent example and there are numerous Russian and Arab transliterations which are allowed).(3) I lose 10% of my games. Half of those are the result of a failure to foresee the favorable board I leave my opponent after submitting. A “preview” key would be nice but it detracts from the minimalism of the design and fosters laziness. Of the remaining 5%, half of those are bonafide words that I know and had not considered. The other half are walk-off winners which I have never heard of. Everyone has vastly different backgrounds and expertise so you can never be sure how they know these words. But archaisms and obsolete technical terms are a give away.

And I bet there are a large number of players who are expert Scrabble players who routinely study word lists and unusual letter combinations.Thank you, Atebits. Pepper Jack King, Ads are horrible. HORRIBLE!The game itself is entertaining but after virtually every turn you must endure an ad. Recently, there is a 2 to 3 second lapse after you take your turn where the screen freezes and you can’t do anything until the ad plays.

A few times I’ve unknowingly tapped the x to exit during this lapse and it automatically whisks me off to the App Store. Annoying, to say the least. I contacted their tech support who claimed they’ve made no changes to the ad format. Not sure I believe that. I feel this is a money making ploy, and I’ll be honest - I hate it.UPDATE: Today, May 14, I encountered a 30-second ad after one of my turns. It was a FRANKENSTEIN RISING HOUSE OF FUN SLOTS ad.

Is this what’s coming now, 30-second ads? And of course there’s no way to click out of it, so we must endure it. Horrible.UPDATE: And I got it again 10 minutes later.UPDATE: you keep claiming the ad setup hasn’t changed but I beg to differ. Instead of continually claiming that, maybe more importance and attention should be placed on what players are saying. The ad placement and/or functionality HAS changed, regardless of claims to the contrary.

Ads now have a timer on 5 second them, and occasionally longer than 5. They didn’t have a timer in them until recently. The fact that you don’t understand what I mean escapes me because I tried to detail exactly what I’m experiencing.UPDATE: I keep getting this scripted “not sure what you are talking about” response from the developer.
