I used to play that game with friends, only to find they were cheating using a scrabble word finder. I would be willing to play you at boggle. If you fancy that

Google it, its very good, was very popular in the 1990’s, and you can still buy it now. You get a grid of 16 letters, you get 2 minutes to make as many words as possible, horizontal vertical and diagonal, only using the same letter once in each word. Then your oppo gets the same letters. You get three goes each, the second set has A double word score Square, and thIrd set has a triple word square. Its on playstore or the apps store. My user name is steve_f162 if you want to give it a go.

Boggle's a great game, brilliant too for kids' and their word building skills.

I love doing my paper's daily codeword, that's quite an interesting exercise.

We play Bananagrams. A bit like Scrabble but much quicker. Quite addictive (in a good way!)
