I wish I knew its name, but I like that party game in which you randomly choose a letter - from the Bible, from the dictionary, from the newspaper - and then everyone has five minutes, or two minutes, or some similarly limited period of time, and writes down words for each of several categories. Samples include: flowers, birds, trees, states or provinces or countries, kinds of food, etc. It sounds as if this game was described by FF, above (he said something about allowing the youngest child to keep all her words, even if someone else had them).
I also quite like hangman, to while away the time if you're stuck in a bus or train station, waiting to go somewhere, and have a willing companion and a pad of paper and a writing implement. It's great fun to try to come up with a word you think they'll "never" get!
Kind of a poor man's Wheel of Fortune....only hangman came first, so there!

Speaking of hangman...
I wonder if we can play that here.
I have a word that I bet will hang all you word experts.
Five letters. Start guessing!

No bots, BTW!

When I was playing Scrabble with my beloved while on honeymoon, I managed to put down 'guava' TWICE - and they weren't connected. [/end boast]

PS I also love Boggle and really look forward to playing it online... My Mum and I play Scrabble together, but she's never ever been nice to me and regularly beats me!

Hey Robert, if Silk and I are both playing, how will you tell us what's right and what's not? she and I will each have an advantage in seeing what the other guessed and knowing whether or not it was right....I was going to suggest you give us the answers by PM but Silk has disabled hers, I think?
Well - you're a clever boy, you figure out how to do this fairly! or maybe Silk and I could be a team.....
