Talk:Word game

I'm trying to organise this page and letter games. I see a big difference between the following, but I'm not sure how to classify it. Suggestions / work in progress below. -- user:Tarquin

charades etc
games like Scrabble but traditional rather than commercial -- focus on the meaning of words

board games
letter games like Scrabble, a board game

pangrams & lipograms etc
literary / linguistic diversion, which in their style are related to Mathematical games. The focus is on the letters & the structure of words

Explanation of recent edit: I think the external links at the bottom (two booksellers and a few internet word game sites) made the page too commercial. Wikipedia is not a place to list editors' favorite websites. The Google Web Directory link gives a less biased portal to lots of online word game sites, and has related links to sociology, word play, etc...

Is this the page to list Dingbats on? If so, where should it go? Angela 01:36, Oct 11, 2003 (UTC)

How can you have a list of word games without balderdash? I would add it myself but I'm not sure what section it goes under —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.241.113.173 (talk) 19:13, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Further sorting of games into categories
I would like to see a better distinction between general types of games such solving anagrams, versus a specific implementation of a game, such as AnagramsTM. Right now we have them jumbled together. Any way we can get them unscrambled? Zyxwv99 (talk) 13:59, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
