word game
Boggle, for one
A word game is any game or puzzle in which players manipulate letters, words, or language to achieve a goal.
Classic examples include crossword puzzles, Scrabble, and anagrams.
Word games may test vocabulary, spelling, pattern recognition, or verbal wit.
They range from solitary puzzles to competitive multiplayer contests, and from children's spelling bees to sophisticated cryptic crosswords.
