Word games are always a popular choice among people of every age. The best part is that there are several types of word games to choose from, so everyone can find their cup of tea. Some people enjoy 1-player games to challenge their skills, others like to use them as a learning strategy, and then there are multiplayer games that are always synonymous with fun and friendly competition.
1. Letter arrangements
These types of word games are frequently grouped under the names Scrabble or Scrabble-like since this is the most famous and popular game within this category.
Their rules and gameplay may be different, but in general, they are board games in which the board is divided into regular squares and special ones (that provide extra points). Each player receives a set of letters and the goal is to build words with them and lay them down in such a way that they overlap on the board, crossword-style.
The letters are worth different points depending on their frequency in the language in question. To collect their points, the players must play words containing them. The player with the highest score wins.
2. Crosswords
Crossword puzzles are a classic that hardly needs an introduction. The name itself immediately sprouts the image of a grid of black and white squares overlapping each other in some sections. Yet, there are games with other configurations too. In some versions, the players are the ones that need to add the black squares as they go. In others, there is no grid at all, and the rows and columns of squares make up different shapes.
Regardless of the configuration of the game, the rules are always the same. The players need to fill in the squares with words based on a clue. This is usually a definition or an example of the use of the word.
Crosswords should not be confused with Fill-In Crosswords. Although they share part of the name and the same grid configuration, the latter does not involve any clues nor does it require any type of language knowledge. Instead, it focuses on logic with the players having to find a way to fill the crosswords’ grid with a set list of words.
3. Word Search
Just as with Crosswords, Word Search is also a classic well-known to all. It is a puzzle-like game in which the players receive a list of words that they must find within a grid of letters. The puzzles are usually divided into themes or, at least, the words on the list share something in common.
These types of word puzzle games are also easily adapted to players of different ages. The puzzles for kids, for example, tend to be smaller and the words are hidden only vertically or horizontally in the grid.
The ones for adults are larger and have the added difficulty that the words can also be written backward or diagonally.
4. Wordle and Word Hustle
Wordle is the most recent digital word game set to take over the world of word puzzle game lovers. It is a simple daily puzzle with even simpler rules. After being bought by the New York Times, new independent versions started to pop up on the internet, giving players the same challenging features they love in Wordle, but without the restriction of one puzzle per day. To avoid copyright infringement, these versions were named Word Hurdle.
The goal is to discover the 5-letter word of the day through trial and error. The game opens with a 5×6 grid. The players must first insert any random 5-letter word. If the word inserted contains any letters that are also present in the daily term, these will be highlighted in yellow or in green if the position of the letter is the correct one.
The players can keep trying out different combinations to discover as many highlighted letters as possible, but they must be careful! They can only enter up to 6 words, and one of them must be the winning one or they will lose the game!

5. Anagrams word games
This is a wide category of types of word games. Scrabble and Words with Friends can also fit in it, for example. However, contrary to these, games of anagrams are usually for a single player.
The rules are simple. The player receives a set of letters that are an anagram of several words. The goal is to unscramble the letters to find them.
There are two types of anagram games that are particularly popular. The first has a configuration similar to crossword puzzles and the number of blank squares works as a clue to the length of the words the player must find. The second type is much simpler — instead of the crossword configuration, the player has a list with the number of words they must create and their only clue is the length of said words.
The latter type is also the inspiration for other word games such as Spelling Bee, made popular as part of the New York Times catalog of puzzle games. In the case of this game, instead of receiving a list with the number of words they must create, they see the total number of points that can be achieved by unscrambling the letters on a hive. It is up to them to find those words and figure out their length.
6. Semantic games
These are multiplayer games in which a group of players must work together and compete against other groups. The focus is not on words, but rather on semantics.
A popular game under this category is Mad Libs. In it, the players get a page with a short story in which some keywords are replaced with blanks containing only an indication or clue like “verb — past tense”, “type of food”, “noun”, “name of singer”, and so on. Each group of players must then ask the others to complete the blanks without giving them any context besides the clue. The result is often nonsensical, comic, or surreal stories.
Codenames is also a popular game under this category. Its goal is to find out all the codenames of the other team, based on a hint word given by another player.
7. Cryptogram puzzles
Cryptogram puzzles are word games in which the players need to decode a short piece of encrypted text to reveal a message. They are often referred to as ciphers, but this name implies that both numbers and letters can be employed, while cryptograms only use letters and words.
The puzzles are normally converted into story games in which the players need to uncover a secret, a murder, a treasure, or something similar by solving a series of cryptograms,
8. Pictionary
Although it is often forgotten when it comes to types of word games, the reality is that Pictionary also belongs on this list. Think about it. Its name is a combination of ‘Picture’ plus ‘Dictionary’.
It is a team game in which the two teams must compete against each other to move through the board and be the first to reach the last square. Depending on the color of the square they fall in, one player on the team has to draw something representing a word or a phrase for the other members to guess.
These are only a few examples of broad types of word games. Each type could be broken down even further they contain many games with very specific rules and gameplays within them. Just use them as a guide or a starting point to dive deeper into the world of word puzzle games and have fun playing around with your language knowledge.

Are you wondering about different types of word puzzles? I’ll bet there are a bunch more than you think. In this article, we’ll list out 10 and a bit about each one.
Letter Arrangement
Check Price on Amazon >>
The goal of this type of word puzzle is to try to spell or form a word using the letters that you are given.
There are a number of different types of this game, with every game having the same end goal of trying to create as many correct words as possible.
Each player will be given set letters and will have to use them to create words, generally on a grid, and usually intersecting with other letters and words that have already been played.
This is a great way to test not only spelling, but also vocabulary skills and even lateral thinking skills.
As players place more and more letters on the board, these games tend to become much more difficult, as there are fewer spaces that are left for players to play their letters.
Any letters that can’t be used can often be replaced with new letters, although this will generally cost a turn.
Word Search
Check Price on Amazon >>
Word search puzzles require players to try to find specific words in a jumble of other letters.
The letters are usually laid out in a traditional grid, with letters neatly in rows and columns, which allows players to quickly and easily find the words they are looking for.
Generally speaking, players can look horizontally, vertically, and diagonally when searching for words. Words can be written forwards and backwards, which can make these puzzles difficult.
There are some types of word search puzzles where the user is able to make turns when circling a word, which means that they don’t have to try to stay in a straight line. This can make it easier for some users to find the word that they are looking for, but can also make the puzzle much more difficult for others.
These puzzles come in a variety of skill levels for adults and children.
Crossword
Check Price on Amazon >>
Crosswords are word puzzles where the user must fill in empty squares with the letters of a word that fits the listed clue.
Puzzlers must not only be able to come up with the answer to the problem off the top of their head, but also must be able to spell the word correctly, which can be difficult for some players.
The words all connect with other words in the puzzle, which can make it a bit easier for players to figure out the correct answer.
In addition to having blank spaces for the words and letters to be written on the sheet, these puzzles also have blacked out squares, which serve to separate words and are used to fill in empty spots on the puzzle.
These puzzles generally have a theme and come in a wide variety of difficulty levels. Understanding the theme and choosing the correct difficulty level makes them more fun.
Semantics
Check Price on Amazon >>
These puzzles, or games, focus more on the semantics of words than the spelling of words, and often involve a group of people working together, rather than a single person working on their own.
These puzzles can vary widely in the theme and how they are played. Some puzzles require players to be able to come up with certain parts of speech to fill out a humorous story or anecdote.
Other types of these word puzzles rely on players having shared knowledge to win. These games will often require players to know different meanings of words, how they can be grouped together, and features that will set them apart from other words on the list.
Because they are generally played by more than one person, these games tend to be much more involved and often get noisier, making them a fun option for parties and for events.
Spelling
Check Price on Amazon >>
Spelling word puzzles are a great option for adults to complete with children, as they all require children to work on their spelling skills and also provide a wonderful opportunity for children to learn more about definitions and vocabulary.
These games are also ideal for older players and adults who are learning English as a second language or who may struggle with memory loss, as they are generally easier than other word puzzles, fun to play, and have bright and colorful pictures that make them very inviting.
These spelling puzzles focus on smaller words, which means that they are not ideal for players who are greatly improving their spelling and able to easily spell larger words.
Because they can easily be grown out of as the person using them improves their spelling, these are often used in school settings or then donated to younger children who can benefit from this type of puzzle.
Matching
Check Price on Amazon >>
Matching puzzles take away the stress of having to come up with a certain word on your own and allow people completing these puzzles to simply match words or letters to each other to form words.
They are typically hands-on and require the person completing the puzzle to handle blocks or other items in an attempt to create a specific word.
Because they engage more of the senses, these are a great way for players to learn certain words and to work on their spelling.
They are commonly used with younger children who need help seeing how words can match and making their own words, but are ideal for memory loss patients, as well, who need extra practice without feeling the stress of getting the answers wrong.
These puzzles are generally fun and easy, making them a great option for a low-stress learning tool for users of all ages.
Anagram
Check Price on Amazon >>
These word puzzles consist of a word or a phrase that can then be rearranged to form a completely different word or phrase.
All of the letters in the original word or phrase can only be used once in the answer.
The original word or phrase is called the subject, while any word or phrase that reproduces all of the letters is known as the anagram.
These can often be used as a commentary on the original subject or can even be made to create an anagram that is the opposite.
This is a form of word play or word puzzles that is best suited to people who have a strong command of the language and who are able to visualize the way that words and letters move and work together.
Because they involve a higher level of thinking and don’t require a game or components, anagrams are a wonderful way for adults to pass the time when they are unable to entertain themselves in other ways.
Jumbled
Check Price on Amazon >>
These word puzzles vary from others because all of the letters are given to the person completing the puzzle, but none of them are in the correct order to spell a word.
Puzzlers must try to rearrange the letters to make a word that is spelled correctly.
Often, there are certain letters of the words that are then combined and rearranged to answer a specific question that was asked about the puzzle.
Getting any of the original words incorrect when trying to solve this puzzle will make it impossible to answer the original question, as only certain letters of the answers will be used.
These puzzles tend to be very involved and often take a while to complete, especially when there are a lot of letters that are required for use for the final puzzle.
There is sometimes an accompanying picture to help users better understand and solve the puzzle.
Ambigram
Check Price on Amazon >>
These puzzles consist of a word, symbolic representation, or piece of art that can be viewed in different ways and interpreted according to how it is viewed.
They are generally an exercise not only in thought and determining the word that is represented, but also in trying to read the word from a variety of different angles to see how many ways it can be read.
There are no universal ways to create ambigrams, although there are a few different ways that the problems can be approached.
Many times people turn to computers to create ambigrams, although the first ones were obviously created by hand. These still remain some of the most popular ambigrams available.
It’s only by viewing the ambigram from a variety of different angles that users can uncover the true meaning of the puzzle and determine what it says.
Rebus
Check Price on Amazon >>
These are puzzles where a specific word is represented through the use of illustrated pictures. Individual letters, phrases, or words can all be represented by these pictures.
While these small pictures were originally used as part of stories and were used for illustrative purposes, rebuses are now considered a word puzzle and require word play to understand and to determine their true meaning.
They can be made up completely of letters, and are then known as gramograms. Others can include numbers and are a great way to fit letters or a symbol into a single square in a crossword puzzle.
Reading the rebus requires puzzlers to not only take it at face value in some cases, but also to see it as a puzzle that needs to be solved, as some rebuses are a play on words. These can be very difficult and are often used as brain teasers in school settings.
If you want to improve your writing, maybe it’s time to ditch all the writing books and podcasts and play some word games instead.
Yes, seriously! Word games and writing games are great ways to develop your vocabulary, to help you think more deeply about words, to have fun with story and structure, and to get a lot of fun out of writing.
But games can be a great way to:
- Develop your vocabulary
- Help you think more deeply about words
- Become more fluent in English (if it’s a foreign language for you)
- Invent and develop characters
… and much more.
After the list of 50 writing games, I’ve given you a top ten that I think are particularly great for kids who want to practice their writing skills. Many of the other games are suitable for children, too, so by all means try out other games as a family if you want to.
Of course, there are loads of online games (and quizzes and tools) that you can use to improve your writing skills, and I will be talking about some of the best of those. But there are also lots of tried-and-tested classic games that you can play with pen and paper, or using cards and dice … and we’ll be taking a look at those first.
5 Pen and Paper Word Games
I’ll start with the simplest games: pen and paper ones that you can play pretty much anywhere, so long as you have a pen.
All of these are suitable for children, and some (like crosswords) are enjoyed by many adults too.
#1: Hangman (2+ players)
Hangman is a classic word game for two players. One player thinks of a word and writes down dashes to represent the number of letters. The other guesses letters of the alphabet. Correct letters are inserted into the word; incorrect letters result in another segment of the “hangman” being drawn.
This is a great game for developing spelling and vocabulary. If you’re playing it with small children, you can do it without the perhaps rather unpleasant “hangman” element, and just count how many guesses each player takes!
#2: Crosswords (1 player)
A crossword is a grid of white and black squares, where each white square is one letter of a word. The words intersect. You can find crosswords in many newspapers and magazines (on all sorts of subjects), and you can buy booklets and books full of them. Some crosswords are “cryptic”: great if you like brainteasers. Others have more straightforward clues.
Crosswords are great if you want to learn new words and definitions, or (at the cryptic end of the scale) if you enjoy playing with words and language. Simple ones are suitable for fairly young children, with a little help.
#3: Word searches (1 player)
A word search has a grid (often 10×10 or more) filled with letters, and a number of words written alongside or beneath the grid. The person completing the word search needs to find those words within the grid.
Most word searches are easy enough for children, though younger children will struggle with backward and diagonal words. They’re a good way to get used to letter patterns and to improve spelling – and because word searches rely on matching letters, even children who can’t read well will be able to complete simple ones.
#4: Consequences (2+ players, ideally 4+)
This is a fun game with a group of people, as you get a wild and wacky mix of ideas. Each player writes down one line of a story and folds the paper over before passing it around the table to the next player. The very simple version we play has five lines: (1) A male name, (2) The word “met” then a female name, (3) “He said …” (4) “She said …” (5) “And then …”
Once all five stages are complete, the players open out the papers and read out the results. This can be great for sparking ideas, or as a way to encourage reluctant writers to have a go.
#5: Bulls and Cows (2 players)
This game, which can also be called “Mastermind” or “Jotto” involves one player thinking up a secret word of a set number of letters. The second player guesses a word; the first player tells them how many letters match in the right position (bulls) and how many letters are correct but in the wrong position (cows).
Our five year old loves this game, and it’s been a great way to develop her spelling and handwriting as well as logical thinking about which letters can or can’t be the correct ones after a few guesses.
10 Board and Dice Games
These are all games you can buy from Amazon (or quite probably your local toyshop). They’re fun ways to foster a love of writing within your family, or to share your enjoyment of words with your friends.
#1: Scrabble (2+ players)
A classic of word games, Scrabble is a game played with letter tiles on a board that’s marked with different squares. (Some squares provide extra points.) Letters have different points values depending on how common they are. The end result of scrabble looks like a crossword: a number of words overlapping with one another.
If you want to develop your vocabulary (particularly of obscure two-letter words…) then Scrabble is a great game to play. It’s suitable for children too, particularly in “Junior” versions.
#2: Boggle (2+ players)
This is less well known than Scrabble, but it was one I enjoyed as a child. To play Boggle, you shake a box full of dice with a letter on each side, and the dice land in the 4×4 grid at the bottom of the box. You then make as many words as you can from the resulting face-up letters.
Again, this is a good one for developing vocabulary – and it can be played by children as well as by adults. You need to write down the words you come up with, which can also be good for developing handwriting.
#3: Pass the Bomb (2+ players)
It’s very simple to play: you deal a card for the round pass a “bomb” around the table and when it goes off, the person holding it loses. Before you can pass the bomb on during your turn, you need to come up with a word that contains the letters on the card.
It’s a fun family or party game, and can work well with a wide range of ages. It’s a great way to help children think about letter patterns, too, and to develop vocabulary and spelling.
#4: Story Cubes (1+ players)
There are lots of different versions of these available, and they all work in a similar way. The open-ended game has a set of cubes that you roll to create ideas for a story that you can tell along with the other players. If you prefer, you can use them to come up with stories that you’re going to write on your own.
There are lots of different ways you can use them: as writing prompts for a school class or group, to make up a bedtime story together with your children, for getting past your own writers’ block, or almost anything you can think of.
#5: Apples to Apples (2+ players)
Apples to Apples has red cards (with the name of a person, place, thing, etc) and green cards (with two different descriptions): the player with a green card selects one of the descriptions, and others have to choose a card from their hand of red cards. The judge for that game decides which red card best matches the description.
If you want to develop your vocabulary (or your kids’), this could be a fun game to play. There are lots of expansions available, plus a “junior” version with simpler words. (If you’re playing with adults, you might also want to consider Cards Against Humanity, a decidedly not-kid-friendly game that works in a very similar way.)
#6: Letter Tycoon (2+ players)
In this game, you have a hand of 7 cards which you can use in conjunction with the 3 “community cards” to create a valuable word. It’s a more strategic game than some others, with aspects of finance (like patents and royalties) involved too – if you’re a budding tycoon, you might really enjoy it.
Because not all the game strategy depends on simply being good with words, it doesn’t matter if some players have a larger vocabulary than others. It’s suitable for children, too, so you can play it as a family game.
#7: Dabble (2+ players)
Dabble is a family-friendly game where you compete with other players to be the first to create five words (of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letters) using your 20 tiles. It’s very simple to get the hang of … but coming up with the words might be more challenging than you expect!
If you enjoy Boggle or Scrabble, you’ll probably have fun with Dabble. It’s a great way to develop both spelling and vocabulary, and to have fun with words.
#8: Upwords (2+ players)
Upwords is like 3D Scrabble: you can stack tiles on top of other tiles to create new words. The board is smaller than a Scrabble board (and doesn’t have double and triple word score squares) so it’s not as complex as it might initially sound.
Like similar games, it’s a great one for building vocabulary and for developing your spelling. It’s suitable for kids, too, so it could be a great game for the whole family.
#9: Tapple (2+ players)
Tapple has a wheel, with most of the letters of the alphabet on it, and lots of different “topic cards” that cover 144 different categories. There are lots of different ways you can play it – the basic rules are that each player has to think of a word that fits the topic within 10 seconds, but that word can’t start with a starting letter that’s been used previously.
While small children might find it a bit too challenging or frustrating, due to the short time limit, this could be a great game for older children looking to extend their vocabulary. All the categories are suitable for kids.
#10: Last Word (2+ players)
In Last Word, players have to come up with answers to “Subject” and “Letter” combinations, racing to get the last word before the buzzer. It works a bit like a combination of “Tapple” and “Pass the Bomb”.
You can easily play it with a large group (there are tokens for up to 8 players, but you could add more without affecting the gameplay). It’s a great way to develop vocabulary and, to some extent, spelling.
5 Roleplaying Games
While my geeky tendencies have been reined in a bit since I had kids, I’ll admit I have a great fondness for roleplaying games: ones where you come up with a character (often, but by no means always in a magic-medieval setting) and play as them. These are some great ones that you might like to try.
#1: Dungeons and Dragons (3+ players)
Although you might never have played Dungeons and Dragons, I’m sure you’ve heard of this classic roleplaying game that’s been around since 1974 and is now onto is 5th edition. It takes rather longer to get to grips with than a board or card game: to play, you need a “Dungeon Master” (essentially the storyteller of the game) and at least two players (who each control a character), plus rulebooks and a lot of different dice.
It’s a great game for developing the “big picture” aspects of writing, like the ability to construct a plot and a story (if you’re the Dungeon Master) and the skills involved with creating a character, giving them a backstory, and acting “in character” as them (if you’re one of the players).
#2: Amazing Tales (1 parent, plus 1 or 2 children)
This is a kid-friendly RPG aimed at parents who want to create a story with their child(ren). It’s like a very simple version of Dungeons and Dragons, and has straightforward but flexible rules. You can play it with a single six-sided dice – though it’s better if you have four dice (with six, eight, ten and twelve sides).
If you want to encourage your child’s creativity and have fun creating stories together, this is a wonderful game to play. The rulebook contains lots of ideas and sample settings, with suggested characters and skills … but you can come up with pretty much any scenario you like.
#3: LARP (Live Action Roleplay) (lots of players)
Over the past decade or so, LARP has become a bit more mainstream than it once was. It’s short for “Live Action Roleplay” … which basically means dressing up as your character and pretending to be them. It’s a bit like Dungeons and Dragons crossed with improv drama.
The nature of LARP is that it needs quite a lot of people, so unless you have loads of friends to rope in, you’ll want to join an organised LARP – there are lots out there, covering all sorts of different themes, from traditional fantasy ones to futuristic sci-fi ones. Some are suitable for children, but do ask event organisers about this. They won’t necessarily involve any sort of writing, but can be a great way to explore characters and dialogue.
#4: MUDs (lots of players)
MUDs, or “multi-user dungeons” have been around since the early days of networked computing in the ‘70s, and are the forerunners of games like Fortnite and World of Warcraft. They’re now distinctly retro-looking text-based online games, where players create a character and interact with other characters and the world.
Like other types of roleplaying game, they’re a great way to practice storytelling and character-development skills. They also involve a lot of writing – so they can be useful for things like vocabulary and spelling. Some are suitable for children, but as with anything online, do ensure your children know how to be safe (e.g. by not giving out their full name, address, etc).
#5: Online Forum Games / Forum Roleplaying (2+ players)
Some fan communities write collaborative fanfiction through forums (here’s an example), with different people posting little pieces as different “characters” to continue a story. These can be quite involved and complex, and they can be a great way to learn the skills of telling a long, detailed story (e.g. if you’re thinking of writing a novel).
They’ll probably appeal most to writers who are already producing fanfiction on their own, and who have a fair amount of time for the back-and-forth required for forum roleplaying. Again, if your child wants to get involved with this type of roleplaying, do make sure you monitor what they’re doing and who they’re interacting with.
10 Word Games You Can Play on Your Phone
These days, many writers are more likely to have their phone to hand than a pen and paper … and to be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that. You can easily make notes on a phone, whether by tapping them in or by recording them. If you find yourself with a bit of time on your hands, why not try one of these writing-related games?
Note: all of these are free to download, but most allow in-app purchases, and you may find you need to make a purchase to get the most out of them.
#1: Bonza Word Puzzle
This game is a bit like a deconstructed crossword: you get bits of the puzzle and you drag them together to form words that will all match with the clue. If you’re a fan of crosswords and want something a bit different, you might just love it.
It’s a great way to think hard about letter patterns and how words are put together, so it might be a good game for older children who’re looking to develop their spelling and vocabulary, too.
#2: Dropwords 2
Dropwords 2 (a rewrite of the original Dropwords) is a word-finding puzzle where letters drop from the top of the screen: if you remember Tetris, you’ll get the idea. It’s a bit like Scrabble or Boggle, and you have to race the clock to make letters out of the words on the screen.
With six different modes (“normall”, “lightning”, “relax”, etc), it’s suitable for children and for people who are learning English, as well as for those wanting to really challenge their vocabulary skills.
#3: Spellspire
Spellspire is a fantasy-style game where you select letters from a grid to create words: the longer the word, the bigger the blast from your magic wand! You can kill monsters, buy better equipment, and make your way to the top of the Spellspire.
If your kids aren’t very motivated to practice their spelling, this could be a great game for them. (Or, let’s face it, for you!) You can also choose to play it against your Facebook friends, adding a competitive element.
#4: TypeShift
This is a relatively simple game that lets you create words from letters arranged on different dials. There are a couple of different ways you can play: by trying to use all the letters on the dials at least once to create words, or by tackling the “Clue Puzzles”, which are a bit like crossword clues.
Again, if you want to develop your spelling and vocabulary, this is a straightforward game that you can use to do so. You can buy extra puzzle packs at a fairly reasonable price, if you find that you want to play it a lot.
#5: Wordalot
This crossword app uses pictures rather than written clues, which is a fun twist. You can use coins to get hints (you can earn these through the game, or purchase them with real money).
If you enjoy doing crosswords but want something a bit different, give this one a try. You might find that as well as helping you develop your spelling and vocabulary, it’s a great way to develop your lateral thinking as you puzzle out the clues.
#6: WordBrain
This game is another one where you have to find hidden, scrambled words within a grid. There are loads of different levels (1180!) and so this could keep you busy for a long time. You can purchase hints – this could potentially see you clocking up quite a spend, though.
All the words are appropriate for children (though some are tricky to spell), so your kids might well enjoy this game too, as a way to develop their spelling and vocabulary.
#7: Ruzzle
Ruzzle works like Boggle, with a 4×4 grid of letters that you use to make words (the letters must be adjacent to one another). You can play it against friends, or simply against random players.
Like the other apps we’ve looked at, it’s a good one for developing your vocabulary and spelling. Some players said it included too many ads, so this is something to be aware of if you plan to use the free version rather than upgrading.
#8: WordWhizzle Search
This is a word search type game with loads of different levels to play. If you enjoy word searches, it’s a great way to carry lots around in your pocket! You can play it alone or with Facebook friends. It’s easy to get to grips with, but the levels get increasingly tricky, so you’re unlikely to get bored quickly.
As with other apps, this is a great one for developing your spelling and vocabulary. Each level has a particular description (words should match with this), so you have to avoid any “decoy” words that don’t match.
#9: 7 Little Words
This game works a bit like a crossword: each puzzle has seven clues, seven mystery words, and 20 tiles that include groups of letters. You need to solve the clues and rearrange the letter types so you can create the answers to the mystery words – so it’s also a bit like an anagram.
There are five different difficulty levels (“easy” to “impossible”) and each game is quick to play, so this could be a good one for kids too. Again, it’s a great way to develop vocabulary and spelling.
#10: Words With Friends
This classic word-building game is hugely popular, and you can play against your Facebook or Twitter friends, or against a random opponent. It works just like Scrabble, where you have seven letter tiles and add them to a board.
You can chat with the opponent in a chat window, so do be aware of this if you’re allowing your kids to play. The game is a great way to develop vocabulary and spelling, and you can play it fairly casually because there’s no time limit on your moves.
10 Word Games You Can Play in Your Browser
What if you want a writing-related game you can play while taking a break at your computer? All of these are games that you can play in your browser: some involve a lot of writing and are essentially story-telling apps, whereas others are essentially digital versions of traditional pen and paper games.
Unless otherwise noted, these games are free. With some free browser games, you’ll see a lot of ads. If this annoys you, or if you’re concerned that the ads may be unsuitable for your children, you may want to opt for premium games instead.
#1: Wild West Hangman
This is a digital version of Hangman, which we covered above. You choose a category for words (e.g. “Countries” or “Fruits And Vegetables”) and then you play it just like regular Hangman.
It’s simple enough for children – but it only takes six wrong guesses for your cowboy to be hanged, too, so it could get frustrating for younger children.
#2: Word Wipe
In Word Wipe, you swipe adjacent tiles (including diagonals) to create words, a bit like in Boggle. The tiles fall down a 10×10 grid (moving into the blank spaces you’ve created when your word disappears from the grid) – your aim is to clear whole rows of the grid.
Since the easiest words to create are short, simple ones, this is a great game for children or for adults who want to get better at spelling.
#3: Sheffer Crossword
As you might expect, this is a crossword game! There’s a different free puzzle each day, and you can choose from puzzles from the past couple of weeks. It looks very much like a traditional crossword, and you simply click on a clue then type in your answer.
The clues are straightforward rather than cryptic, though probably not easy enough to make this a good app for children or for English learners. If you’re a fan of crosswords, this will definitely be a great way to develop your vocabulary, though.
#4: Twine
Twine is a bit different from some of the other games we’ve looked at: it’s a tool for telling interactive stories (a bit like the old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, or a text-based adventure game). You lay out your story as different cards and create connections between them.
If you want to experiment with interactive fiction, this is a simple, code-free to get started – as reviewer Kitty Horrorshow puts it, “if you can type words and occasionally put brackets around some of those words, you can make a Twine game”. It’s a great way to deepen your understanding of story, plot and narrative.
#5: Storium
Like Twine, Storium is designed to help you tell stories … but these stories are written in collaboration with others. (There’s a great review, with screenshots, here on GeekMom.) You can either join a story as a character within it, or you can narrate a story – so this is a great game for building lots of different big-picture fiction-writing skills.
It’s suitable for teens, but probably involves a bit too much writing for younger children. If you’d like to write fiction but the idea of creating a whole novel on your own seems a bit overwhelming, or if you enjoy roleplaying-type games (like Dungeons and Dragons), then you might just love Storium.
#6: Words for Evil
This game combines a fantasy RPG setting (where you fight monsters, get loot, gain levels and so on), with word games to play along the way. It could be a good way to encourage a reluctant young teen writer to have fun playing with words – or you might simply enjoy playing it yourself.
The word games work in a very similar way to Word Wipe, so if you found that game frustrating, then Words for Evil probably isn’t for you!
#7: First Draft of the Revolution
This game is an interactive story, told in the form of letters (epistolary). It comes at writing from a much more literary angle than many of the other games, and if you’ve studied English literature or creative writing, or if you teach writing, then you might find it particularly interesting.
The graphics are gorgeous – playing the game is like turning the pages of a book. To play First Draft of the Revolution, you make choices about how to rewrite the main character (Juliette’s) draft letters – helping you gain insight into the process of drafting and redrafting, as well as affecting the ongoing story.
#8: Writing Challenge
Writing Challenge can be used alone or with friends, creating a collaborative story by racing against the clock. You can use it as an app on your phone, as well as on your computer, so you can add to your stories at any time.
If you struggle to stay motivated when you’re writing, then Writing Challenge could be a great way to gamify your writing life – and potentially to create collaborative works of fiction.
#9: Plot Generator
Plot Generator works a bit like Mad Libs: you select a particular type of story (e.g. short story, movie script, fairytale) then enter a bunch of words as prompted. The website creates the finished piece for you. There are also options for story ideas (essentially writing prompts), character generators, and much more on the site.
If you’re stuck for an idea, or just want to play around a bit, Plot Generator could be a lot of fun. Some of the options, like Fairy Tale, are great to use with young children – others may not be so suitable, so do vet the different options first.
#10: The Novelist ($9.99)
The Novelist follows the life of Dan Kaplan, a struggling novelist who’s also trying to be a good husband and father. You can make choices about what Dan should do to reach his goals in different areas of his life – and the decisions you make affect what happens next in the game. You are a “ghost” in the house, learning about and influencing the characters.
While there’s not any actual writing involved in the game, it could be a thought-provoking way to explore how writing fits into your own life.
10 Games to Help You Learn to Type
Typing might seem like an odd thing to include on a list of writing games. But so much of writing involves being able to type – and if you’re a slow typist, you’ll find that your fingers can’t keep up with your brain! While most people find that their typing does naturally improve with practice, these games are all quick ways for you (or your kids) to get that practice in a fun way.
Obviously, all of these games should help to improve typing skills: those which involve whole words may also help with spelling and vocabulary. Unless otherwise mentioned, they’re free.
#1: Dance Mat Typing
This game is designed to teach children touch type (type without looking at the keyboard). It starts off with Level 1, teaching you the “home row” (middle row) keys on the keyboard. Other letters are gradually added in as the game progresses.
It’s very much aimed at kids, so teens and adults may find the animated talking goat a bit annoying or patronising! Unlike many other free games, though, it doesn’t include ads.
#2: Spider Typer
This typing game took a while to load for me: you too many find it’s a bit slow. In the game, you type the letters that appear on chameleons that are trying to catch a spider (the chameleons disappear when you hit their letter). The spider keeps rising up into a tree, and if it safely gets there, you move on to the next level.
It’s suitable for kids, and starts off very easy with just letters: if you set it to a harder difficulty, you need to type whole words.
#3: NitroType
This is a competitive typing game where you race a car against friends (or total strangers) by typing the text at the bottom of the screen. It’s a good one for practicing typing whole sentences, including punctuation – not just typing letters or words.
Older children might enjoy it, and any adults with a strong competitive streak! You can compete as a “guest racer”, or you can create an account and login so you can level up and gain rewards like a better car.
#4: TypeRacer
TypeRacer is similar to NitroType: you control a racing car and the faster you type, the faster your car moves. You can practice on your own, enter a typing race, or race against your friends if you prefer.
If you create an account and login, other users can see your username, score, average speed and so on – and they can also send you messages. This could potentially open you up to receiving spam or unwanted communications, so do be aware of this, particularly if you’re allowing your child to play.
#5: The Typing of the Ghosts
In this game, you destroy ghosts by typing the word on them. The graphics are pretty rudimentary, though it is a free game and a good way to practice quickly typing words. It’s suitable for children, and the sound effects (there’s a noise for every letterstroke) may appeal to kids.
You don’t need to create an account or login: you can simply start playing straight away.
#6: Typing Chef
In this game, you type cooking-related words (usually types of equipment). It involves single words and a few double words with a space between at the early levels.
There’s nothing particularly unusual about this game compared with others, though it wasn’t so ad-heavy as some and doesn’t require any registration. It’s good for teaching words and phrases, but not for helping you to learn to type whole sentences.
#7: TypeTastic
This is a fun typing game aimed at young kids, so it starts with the fundamentals. You start by building a keyboard from letter blocks, then learn how to spot letters on the keyboard quickly before learning where those letters are located.
Teachers or parents might be interested in reading about why the game starts with mapping the keyboard. The interface and graphics are pretty good, given that it’s a free game, and it’s designed specifically with young children in mind.
#8: Typer Shark! Delux
This is a free typing game, where you’re a diver exploring the seas. You can choose from different difficulty levels, and – in a mechanic that’s probably by now quite familiar if you’ve played any of the other typing games – you get rid of creatures like sharks by typing the word written on them.
Again, this can help you with your typing speed and accuracy. I found it was a bit slow to load, but it’s not full of ads like some other games.
#9: Typing Attack
In this game, you’re a spaceship, facing enemy spaceships – each with a word written on them. I expect you can guess what you need to do: type the word correctly to destroy the spaceship. Some words are shorter, some longer, and as with other games, there are multiple difficulty settings.
You’ll need to watch an ad before the game loads, which can be annoying, and means that it isn’t necessarily suitable for children.
#10: The Typing of the Dead: Overkill ($14.99)
This game is definitely aimed at adults rather than kids, because it’s a bit gory. It also costs $14.99, so it’s probably one that’ll suit you best if you’re really keen to improve your typing speed – perhaps you do transcription, for instance, or you’re a freelance writer.
To play the game, you type the words that appear in front of the enemies and monsters: each type you type a letter correctly, you send a bullet at them. If you like horror games and films, it could be a fun way to learn to type faster – but it won’t necessarily improve your accuracy with whole sentences.
10 Word Games that Are Particularly Suited to Kids
While I’ve tried to indicate above whether or not the games are suitable for kids, I wanted to list the ten that I’d particularly recommend if you want to help your children get a great start as budding writers.
Several of these are games I play with my five-year-old already; others are games I’m really looking forward to using with her and my son as they get older. I won’t repeat the full descriptions: just scroll back up if you want those.
#1: Word searches (pen and paper) – you can buy whole books of these, or print off free ones. Older kids might have fun creating their own for their friends or siblings.
#2: Bulls and Cows (pen and paper) – you can play this with just a pen and paper (or if you’ve got a really good memory, with nothing at all).
#3: Boggle (board game) – this is simple enough for quite young children to get the hang of it: my five-year-old enjoys playing it with her Granny.
#4: Story Cubes (dice game) – your child can use these on their own to come up with ideas for a story, or you could use them with a group of children – e.g. in a classroom or as part of a club.
#5: Amazing Tales (roleplaying) – this child-friendly RPG is a great way to introduce big-picture storytelling skills, particularly developing a character.
#6: Spellspire (phone app) – a fun spelling/word-creation game your child can play on your phone (and probably a bit more educational than yet another game of Angry Birds).
#7: Wild West Hangman (browser game) – if your child likes hangman but you don’t always have the time to play it with them, this is a good alternative.
#8: First Draft of the Revolution (browser game) – if your teen is interested in writing and/or the French revolution, they might really enjoy this intriguing game based around redrafting letters.
#9: Dance Mat Typing (typing game) – this game from the BBC is high-quality, and designed to appeal to young children. It teaches good typing practice from the start, by explaining correct finger placement on the keys.
#10: TypeTastic – this is another typing game aimed at young children, and this one starts with putting together a keyboard – a great place to begin.
