letter game
Alphabet-based competition
A letter game is any game built around letters of the alphabet—forming words, guessing letters, or manipulating them according to rules.
Scrabble, Wordle, and hangman are letter games.
The term distinguishes these from number games, card games, or board games, though many letter games use boards or cards as components.
