If you are looking for a board game about guessing words, there are quite a few great options, but with the popularity of a few key games (I’m looking at you Codenames and Just One), there are lots of great games that end up getting overlooked.
That’s a shame because word games are a great way to get your brain working and improve your lateral thinking skills because they force you to think differently than other board games.
If you are playing with kids, they are also great to help get them interested in learning new words and reading, as well as improving their spelling, vocabulary, and grammar skills.
Here is our list of the best board games about guessing words for you to check out.

1. Best Lateral Thinking: Codenames
Codenames is a game for 2 – 8 players that takes about 15 minutes and is very easy, taking only a couple of minutes to teach.
In Codenames, you are split into two teams. Each team has a spymaster, who gives the clues about the words to guess, and a team of field operatives, who need to guess the clues. There is a 5-by-5 grid of 25 spies (represented by words) on the table, and the spymaster is given a grid to say which people are spies and which people are assassins. They have to give one-word clues to their team to guess the spies without guessing any assassins, and they have to do it faster than the other team.
There are so many good moments packed into a game of Codenames. Sometimes you all click and get the clues, but sometimes there’s that sinking feeling when you realize what the spymaster meant but you just didn’t get it. Being a quick game, it makes it to the table a lot and is just a lot of fun.
For those who can’t read yet, there is also Codenames: Pictures, which is very similar but with pictures. I find in a way this adds more to the game as pictures have a lot more elements you can describe and connect together than words sometimes do.
Pros
- Team-based
- Very easy to teach
- It exercises lateral thinking
- Quick and fun
Cons
- Lots of pressure on the clue giver
- It requires a basic knowledge of English

2. Most Fun: Just One
Just One is a cooperative word game for 3 – 7 players that takes about 20 minutes. It’s a very light, fun party game that also makes an excellent family board game.
In Just One, you pick a bunch of cards out of a huge deck to be your guessing words for the game. As a group, you aim to guess the word cooperatively. You go around the table, taking turns. On your turn, you pick a card with a word on it that you don’t get to look at, and everyone else has to write down clues for you to guess that word.
The part that makes this fun is that if two people give a duplicate clue, that clue is eliminated and you don’t get the word. This means when you pick a clue, it has to be good enough to be related to the word, but obscure enough that no one else will pick it.
This game is just a lot of fun every time it comes to the table, and because it takes about 2 minutes to teach, it makes it to the table a lot.
Pros
- There are always many funny moments in the game
- It’s very easy to teach and quick to play
- It uses lateral thinking
- It’s a team game – you’re all working together
Cons
- Very light
- Not much strategy
- It requires a basic knowledge of English

3. Most Approachable: Decrypto
Decrypto is another lightweight game for 3 – 8 players that can take around 15 – 45 minutes.
In this game, there are 2 teams, and each team is given 4 words, something along the lines of:
- Path
- Spear
- Soap
- Cheese
One person on the team then picks up a decoder card that has 3 numbers on it, and they need to give clues related to the numbers on the card, so let’s say the decryption card says 1-3-4, they may give the clues walk (for path), wash (for soap), and dairy (for cheese). Both the opposing team and the players’ team need to guess the numbers on the decryption card. If the opposing team guesses correctly, they get a point, or if your team guesses incorrectly, you lose a point.
Because your team knows the words, you are at a distinct advantage for your clues, but you need to give clues that are obscure enough that as the game progresses, the opposing team doesn’t have too much information to guess the order and win.
It’s a very approachable game, and I find it takes a little more thinking and teamwork than Codenames or Just One, making it a great game for a group that wants something a bit deeper. The interactivity in this game makes it one of my gaming group’s favorite word games.
Pros
- Easy to teach
- Lots of fun
- Very interactive
- Some strategic thinking when giving clues
Cons
- Very competitive
- It needs a lot of players
- It requires a basic knowledge of English
Sale

4. Best 2 Player Game: Codenames: Duet
Codenames: Duet is very similar to Codenames, except it’s designed as a two-player cooperative version.
In Codenames: Duet, there are 25 cards in a grid, each with a word on them, and you are looking for agents without guessing any of the assassins, but you are working together. Each player is given an answer key card with some of the agents and assassins revealed on it, and you are giving clues to each other so that you can together guess all 15 agents on the board without guessing any of the assassins before the timer runs out.
I do really like this game, as when you are working together to guess the agents it adds a lot of interactivity that I find the original codenames doesn’t have. It works fantastically as 2 players, but you can play it with more just by splitting into teams (though you don’t want them to be too big or not everyone will get to be involved in the decision).
Pros
- A 2-player game
- Uses lateral thinking
- Cooperative
Cons
- Timer-based (I prefer natural end conditions)
- Pressure to give good clues
Sale
Codename Duet
New cooperative gameplay
Campaign mode to record your progress

5. Best Strategic: Letter Jam
Letter Jam is a game for 2 – 6 players that takes around 45 minutes. It’s an easy game in comparison to most board games, but with most word-guessing games being party games, this is probably the heaviest game on this list.
In this game, each player is given a set of letter cards that make up a word, but they don’t get to see the letters (a bit like Hanabi if you’ve played that before), they have to put them face up for others to see.
The clue giver then has to give a clue with the letters from other people’s words by giving each player a token with a number that is the position of the letter in their word. So let’s say the clue giver gives the word “CAT”. They may give the first player a 1 token as they have a C, and the second player a 2 token as they have the letter A. Each player then needs to look around and take a guess at what their letter is.
This is a very challenging game that will make you think. You can make it easier or harder by using longer or shorter words. If you are looking for a word guessing game that feels heavier than a party game, this is it.
Pros
- A challenging game with lots of thinking
- Easy to teach – lots of familiar mechanics to other games
- Game moves quickly
- It works well with a lower or higher number of players
- Cooperative
Cons
- Not as fun and exciting as others on this list
- It is very difficult if you are not good at the type of thinking involved in word games

6. Best Cooperative: So Clover!
This is a cooperative party game for 3 – 6 players that takes around half an hour to play and is quite easy to learn. It’s made by the same company that made “Just One” and has a pretty similar feel, but it is different enough that if you like word guessing games it would be a worthwhile pickup.
In So Clover! each player has a board with 4 clovers, and you put a card with a word on it in each spot of the 2 x 2 grid. This leaves you with 2 different words on each edge, and you have to put a clue that associates these two words together on that edge. Then the word cards are removed and, using the clues on the 4 edges the other players have to guess where each of the word cards go.
I like this game because it is engaging and you get some clever word associations. While it’s a party game and super easy to teach and quick to play, I find it hits the spot for thinking a bit more than some of the others on this list.
Pros
- No downtime (everyone takes their turn at once)
- Quick to teach
- It uses lateral thinking
- It supports a large group
- Engaging
Cons
- Possibly a bit too similar to Codenames and Just One
- Scoring is a bit simplistic

7. Most Unique: When I Dream
This is an easy game for 4 – 10 players that takes around 20 – 40 minutes.
In each round of When I Dream, one player wears a mask as they are asleep, and the other players have the objective of either making them guess their dream word correctly, incorrectly, or half and half, and then they give the dreamer clues to try help them guess the word. The dreamer also gets points if at the end of the round they can correctly remember the cards from their dream (which is harder than it sounds as you are paying attention to who’s lying that you don’t remember the cards that well).
It’s fun and unique, it doesn’t feel like any other game you have played and therefore carves out an easy spot on a gaming shelf among other word-guessing and social deduction games which can tend to have a lot of crossover in mechanics.
Pros
- Beautiful artwork
- Very unique gameplay – does not feel like other games
- You need to think to give subtle enough clues to not get caught in your objective
- Quick and easy to teach
Cons
- Everyone felt awkward when it was their turn to wear the mask
- The game can be slightly unbalanced for the fairies (the ones trying to make the guess correct)
When I Dream
Innovative gameplay focuses on player imagination and creative interpretation
The various hidden roles add mystery, depth, and endless replay ability

4-10 players
20-40 minutes playtime
8. Best Social Deduction: Werewords
Werewords is an easy game for 4 – 10 players that takes only 10 minutes to play.
In this game, people in the group have 4 roles:
- The Mayor – who knows the magic word to vanquish werewolves from the village but can’t speak
- The Seer – who knows the word but can’t let the werewolf find out who they are
- The Werewolf – knows the word and wants people to guess it wrong by asking misleading questions
- The Villagers – who ask the mayor questions to try to guess the word correctly.
This game is won by the villagers if they guess the word without the werewolf guessing the seer, or if they don’t guess the word but can guess the werewolf, which makes for some interesting strategy as your goal isn’t always to guess the word as quickly as possible.
This game is kind of like 20 questions meets a social deduction game. For those who read my recommendations a lot, you’ll know I don’t particularly enjoy social deduction games, but I think this one works well because the social deduction is a lot more subtle than in other games.
Pros
- Quick and easy to teach
- Enjoyable game
- It plays well with a larger gaming group
- More subtle social deduction game
- The App provides a huge variety of words
Cons
- It doesn’t work for easy words, as the word can be guessed too early
- You need to pay lots of attention
- The addition of a words mechanic may not warrant purchasing this game if you already have a “Werewolf” social deduction game

9. Twist on a Classic: Trapwords
Trapwords is an easy game for 4 – 8 players that takes about 30 – 45 minutes.
If you’ve ever played the classic word board game Taboo before, it’s like that, but with a bit more to the game.
You play in two teams, and each team has a clue giver who is given a word and has to give clues to make their team guess the word correctly. The catch is that the other team picks the trap words, that is the words the clue giver is not allowed to say or they lose. But the clue giver doesn’t know what these words are, so they have to work around that and give some weird and wonderful clues that they hope don’t use the trap words the other team has chosen.
There is a secondary element to this game where you are romping through a dungeon and the words trigger traps. It’s fairly light and easy, and it’s great for people who want a more gamified experience, but I think it takes away from the essence of the game a little.
Pros
- Fun game
- It encourages lateral thinking with the need for clever clues
- Team-based
Cons
- The fantasy dungeon crawling aspect is unnecessary
- It does not get as many laughs as other games on the list
- Pretty luck based on what words the other team chooses

10. Best Mind Reading: Medium
Medium is a super light and easy game for 2 – 8 players that takes approximately 30 – 45 minutes to play.
In Medium, you are trying to be a medium and read each other’s minds. In pairs, players are given two cards, and they have to try to guess the same word that connects the words on the two cards together (they get 3 tries) to score points.
This is the kind of game that shines based on the players. If you have players with big personalities that like to laugh, then you’ll get some really weird connections between words. But if you have a quieter gaming group, then this game may fall a bit flat.
Pros
- Hilarious game with the right group
- Encourages very clever word association
- It is good to encourage learning about how other people think
Cons
- Weak win conditions, you play more for the activity and experience than for winning and losing
- It is very frustrating if you think on different wavelengths
- Can fall flat with more serious gaming groups

Honorable Mentions
There aren’t actually that many word guessing games, but there are a few more worth mentioning that just didn’t make the cut for the top 10.
Some other great games don’t exactly fit the criteria of guessing words but give a very similar feeling when you play.
- Wavelength – This is almost the opposite of a word guessing game. The player whose turn it is is given a category and a rating, and they have to give a word so the other players correctly guess the rating. For example, I might get the category food and 50%, so I pick sandwiches, as they’re good, but not necessarily great. This is one of my favorite board games, as it just brings everyone together to discuss ideas really well.
- Cross Clues – this is another one that is similar to Just One, Codenames, and So Clover, where you have a grid of clues and are working to give a clue that crosses over between the two clues so that the other players choose the right spot in the grid to fill the grid up. It’s also a great game, I just didn’t want too many with the same mechanics in the top 10.
- Detective Club – This is a social deduction game, where the clue giver lets everyone know a word except one person, and then everyone has to play cards that relate to that word. The clue giver then says the word and everyone has to justify why their cards are related to that word (with one player completely bluffing) and the other players have to figure out who’s bluffing. It’s a very fun game involving words, but since you aren’t guessing a word it didn’t make the list.
- Master Word – This is like the traditional game Mastermind, but with words. So there is a person that knows the word you are trying to guess, and the other players give 4 words each round, with the guide then telling them how many clues they guessed that relate to the word. It can be a bit subjective on what the guide thinks is related, but as Mastermind was one of my favorite games as a kid, I just can’t help but like this game.
Conclusion
There are quite a few good word-guessing games out there. The most popular by far are Codenames, Codenames: Duet, and Just One, which are all fantastic games. But if you are looking for something similar but that has its own unique twist (maybe someone in your gaming group already owns these games or you’ve played them to death), then So Clover! and Cross Clues are both fantastic games with similar vibes.
If you are looking for a social deduction game, I highly recommend When I Dream as it has a unique twist on the genre. Werewords is also pretty good, it’s pretty similar to the One Night Ultimate Werewolf social deduction games but adds in the twist of word guessing that makes it a bit more interesting.
If you are looking for something a bit deeper, Letter Jam is the only word guessing game that isn’t a light party game and requires you to think and concentrate a lot more to cooperatively figure out what everyone’s words are.

Are you a word geek
looking for new word board games to play?
Or are you simply
searching for something new to amuse you and your friends on game night?
Perhaps are you a parent
seeking games for your partner and kids that are both educational and entertaining?
If so, you have landed
on the right page! In this post, we share the 9 best word board games for you and the crew. We picked these games
based on the number of positive reviews and high ratings they got from
satisfied consumers.
Instead of mindlessly
scrolling through your social media accounts and wasting valuable time, it’s
probably time to consider other hobbies like playing board games. You’ll might
be surprised how much this activity can be beneficial to your soul, mind, and body.
Without further ado, let’s check out our list of the best word board games!
1. Bananagrams
Bananagrams is an excellent choice for parents who are looking to play
word board games with their children. In addition to fun and entertainment, this anagram game promises an
educational experience for kids, especially those who are starting to learn
more complex words.
The rules are simple and
easy to understand. First, you need to distribute the tiles among all players
(maximum of eight players) facedown—21 tiles each for two to four players; 15
tiles each for five to six players; and, 11 tiles each for seven to eight
players. Start the game by saying “Split!” and everyone turns their tiles over.
The objective of this
game is to be the first person to use all their letters. You may form words
horizontally from left to right, or vertically from top to bottom. You may also
rearrange your grid any time you want. After placing your last letter in your
grid, call out “Peel!” and everyone has to take another tile from the “Bunch.”
One rule to remember is
that you can put one of your letters back, face-down in the Bunch, by saying “Dump!”
However, you have to take three more tiles in exchange for that one letter. You
may do as many “dumps” as you like.
Whoever is the first
person to use all their letters once the Bunch is empty is the winner. But he
has to shout “Bananas!” to let the others know. The competitors should then
inspect his grid to see if there are misspelled words, proper nouns, or any
other unacceptable words. If there are, then they have to shout “Rotten
Banana!” to kick the false winner out of the game.
Pros
- Has fast-paced gameplay, and you can have as many rounds as you like.
- An excellent game for anyone, whether kids, teens, or adults.
- Suitable for multiple players or solo gaming.
Cons
- Choose your seller wisely, as fake sellers deliver tiles in poor conditions.
2. Quiddler
If you are looking for a fast-paced, short-duration word board game,
then Quiddler is the answer. This
game exercises both your vocabulary and spelling skills, and is most suitable
for children six years old and above. There can be 1 to 10 players, and the one
with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.
In this game, each
player is required to create words from the cards in their hands. You have to
be cautious, however, since the number of cards increases every round. There
are eight rounds to deal with, and you can have as many as 10 cards on the last
round. Every card has its corresponding value, so if you have the most number
of words formed with high-value cards by the end of the game, you will have the
most number of points.
This word board game
allows you to form even the simplest of words like “at,” “of,” “zoo,” and a lot
more. This is why it is recommended to kids. There are bonuses, too. For
instance, the player with the most words formed and the player who forms the
longest word get additional points. In the case of a tie, no one receives the
bonus points.
Quiddler has a high
rating on online stores, with almost a perfect store, as well as lots of
positive feedback. If you are looking for a game you can play with your
children, then we highly recommend this one.
Pros
- Although designed to be fast, you can play the game at your own pace.
- Award-winning word board game; tried and tested by expert players.
- Makes a perfect gift for friends or family members who like word games.
Cons
- Some customers do not recommend the dictionary that comes with it.
3. Hasbro Scrabble
The game Scrabble was created
by Alfred Mosher Butts in 1938, and since then has became a popular way to
spend fun nights with friends, colleagues, and family members.
This particular version
of Scrabble is from Hasbro Gaming, which is one of the largest companies in the
world that makes toys and other means of entertainment. The goal of the game is
to form words on the board and gain points.
For every tile you use
to create a word, you have to draw a replacement from the bag. The game ends
once there are no more tiles, and the player with the most number of points
wins. To determine who has the most points, you’ll have to record your score on
each turn with pen and paper, and then add them up at the end.
Scrabble may be played
solo, with two to three players, or with a group of friends. You need a bit of
luck, as you have to draw tiles blindly, but the game also rewards those with
good strategy and extensive vocabularies.
Pros
- Traditional, classic board game; instructions may be found anywhere.
- Beneficial for small kids and older people for brain development and memory retention;
- Improves not just vocabulary, but also strategic and critical thinking.
Cons
- You must have outstanding vocabulary skills to win this game.
- Paper and pen are needed to record your scores.
4. Big Boggle
Big Boggle is an excellent choice for those seeking a word game with a
bit of pressure. The goal of
the game is to list as many words as you can from the randomly assorted letters
given to you at the start. However, you only have three minutes to do so, which
means you have to think and write quickly.
This board game comes with
25 standard letter cubes, one double letter cube, a cube grid with a dome, and
a three-minute sand timer. At the beginning of the game, each player takes a
pen/pencil and paper to list their words. The cube grid is then prepared by
shaking the cubes until they fall into place.
Once the timer starts,
all players should use the assorted letters and come up with words of four or
more letters. Write down every word you can think of until the time runs out.
Words must be formed from adjoining letters on the grid.
When the timer stops,
all players compare their lists of words with one another. All words that have
been played by multiple people are not scored. The remaining words are scored,
the one who earns the most points is the winner.
Pros
- Game mechanics are easy to learn and understand.
- Artwork and design are nice and pleasant.
- The element of time and pressure makes the game more exciting.
Cons
- Some word combinations are complicated for children (and even some adults).
5. Tapple
Tapple is a fast-paced word board game that is most suitable for
families who like playing games during holidays, parties, and family
gatherings. It is also easy to
store and carry, and therefore can be packed during vacations, trips, and long
getaways.
This board game comes
with a portable Tapple wheel and 36 topic cards with 144 categories. The goal
is simple: You have to produce an answer to the category cards using only the letters
available on the wheel. Aim to be the last player left in each round to get a
score, then collect three topic cards and you win.
Tapple is a
time-pressure and elimination game. You only have 10 seconds to answer every
round, and if you fail to do so, you get kicked out for that round. If you give
an answer that does not match the category, you get eliminated. The last person
standing gains the point and is declared the winner for that round.
Remember that when you
give your answer, you have to press the first letter of the word and then reset
the timer to pass the turn. Otherwise, you are disqualified. Likewise, keep in
mind that once a letter has been used, the others can no longer press that
letter for that round.
Pros
- Provides a fun and entertaining way for kids to learn new words.
- Equally exciting for adults and experienced players.
- An excellent word board game to give as a Christmas or birthday gift.
Cons
- Some customers report that the timer is too loud and annoying.
- Could have been better if there were a different tie-breaker.
6. Word on the Street
If you are searching for a very competitive word board game, then you
should include this one on your list. Word on the Street is a tug-of-words type of game where each team fights
for its desired letters to form high-scoring words. The first team to get the
eight letter tiles becomes the winner.
There are two teams in
this game, and they take turns “on the street,” or on the board. The letter
tiles are put in their corresponding place on the middle lane of the board
called the “Median Strip.” There are different rules with regard to turns, but
the main objective is to capture all eight letter tiles before the other team
does.
The key to winning this
game is to brainstorm with your teammates while the other team is making its
move. You all must agree on one word, and pull the letters of that word closer
to your side of the street before time runs out, and before the other team does
the same. Word on the Street is not just a vocabulary game, but also a game of
speed and strategy.
Pros
- Allows you to use more strategy than other word board games.
- The race element of the game makes it more fun and challenging.
- Builds camaraderie and teamwork among team members.
Cons
- Might not be fun enough for people in small groups (or if played alone or by two players).
- Rules might be too complicated for small children.
7. Pairs in Pears
Pairs in Pears is somewhat similar to Bananagrams, so if you are looking
for an alternative to the latter, then this word board game is a good fit. In this game, the goal is to make as many
pairs as possible, but they have to be matching suits.
The game comes with 104
tiles, and the number of tiles you can take depends on the number of players
there are. Similarly, the number of pairs needed to win also depends on the
number of players. There are, however, other ways to play this game, and they
are all explained in the game’s guide.
Pairs in Pears is a
racing and counting game in which you try to be the first to produce as many as
possible pairs with matching suits. It is a great way for children (and adults)
to improve their memory retention and cognitive skills, and is also a means to
develop pattern recognition and vocabulary.
Pros
- Fun and engaging, even for very young children.
- Game components are made of high-quality materials.
- Good game for mind stimulation, especially among children and older people.
Cons
- Some customers think that it is only best for two to three players.
- Others report that the rulebook needs to be more comprehensive.
8. Dabble
If you are a fast thinker and can come up with an answer in less than a
minute, then Dabble might be the word board game for you. This game tests not just your vocabulary skills,
but also your speed and agility.
The board game includes
all the letters of the Spanish and English alphabets, so it can be played in
both languages. It is appropriate for two to four players, ages 10 years old
and up, and you can even play it in teams.
The rules of the game
are simple. All players must pick 20 tiles from the bag without looking, and
then place their tiles face down. When the game starts, they all turn their
tiles and start the timer, then create five words (a two-letter word,
three-letter word, four-letter word, five-letter word, and six-letter word).
Points are recorded every round, and the first to reach 500 points is the
winner.
Other players may
challenge words if they have been misspelled or if they are not words at all.
You will need to have a dictionary on hand for challenges. Unlike Scrabble,
however, some words (e.g., foreign words, archaic words, colloquial words,
etc.) are accepted in Dabble.
Pros
- Greatly enhances your quick-thinking abilities.
- Challenging enough for both kids and adults.
- Available in two languages: English and Spanish.
Cons
- The game manufacturer could develop more rules to add excitement.
9. Upwords
Upwords is a great game
if you are searching for a high-stacking, word-building game. In this game, you
don’t just think of words to form, but you also stack tiles to change words.
Your score is not based solely on the number of words you form, but also on the
level of tiles you stack—the higher you stack, the higher your score is.
Similar to Scrabble, the
game begins by each player drawing seven tiles from the bag. The first player
starts the game by placing a word on the board, and then drawing new tiles from
the bag. Every player who comes next forms a word by adding letters to the
previous tiles on the board.
Unlike Scrabble,
however, you can place your letters on top of the other letters that are
already on the board. For instance, if the word is “HAT,” you can use the
letters T, R, E, S, and S to add to the end of the word, and then cover H with
M to form the word “MATTRESS.”
There are a few other rules
to consider in this game that are not in Scrabble. One example is the points
system, as Upwords’ letter tiles all have one point each. There are also no
double or triple letter word scores for additional points.
If you are looking for a
Scrabble-like game with a bit of a twist, you might want to consider checking
out this game.
Pros
- Game mechanics are easy to learn and understand.
- Similar to Scrabble, with a bit of twist.
- Offers intense, strategic, unique wordplay.
Cons
- Could have been better if the scoring were more interesting.
- Choose your seller wisely, as fake sellers deliver low-quality games.
