OP I was wondering if any of you folks know if there is a name for a game where you have a name or phrase and have to use the letters in such to come up with other words. I have not been sucessful in finding this information out anywhere else. Thanks for your assistance. Susan
Anagrams? They used to be popular competitions when I was a lad. Whoever can make the most words using the letters in the name of a product or whatever, gets a free life-time supply of whatever it was.

The Detroit News has this as a regular feature and they call it "The Word Game". Go figure.
That wonderful game, "boggle" Hi, fiberbabe is an extension of "anagrams", I guess.
Welcome, Susan--and if your birthday is March 9th., 1965, you're getting a welcome from someone who is exactly 12 years older than you are.
You might try looking in Games Magazine, or some other booklet that has a variety of word games. I've seen the type of game you're talking about, but can't remember what they called it.
