word games  

Definition

  • The number of games that can be played with words is virtually infinite, for in addition to structured games with set rules, guidelines, and expectations, such as board games, there are a vast number that can be played in a less constrained manner, such as word jumbles and word searches. Certain word games can be done verbally, as with spelling bees and some rhyming games. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Word Games (Other Than Crosswords)]
