Quiddler

The challenge of Quiddler is to arrange your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use those high point letters, but don’t get caught with them uncombined! Quiddler is fast paced because you can play using everyday words. A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers. Quiddler is for up to eight players.

5 Stars If you love Scrabble and word games, you’ll enjoy Quiddler.
Enjoyed playing Quiddler with adults who are Scrabble hounds. The game would also be fun for kids, especially the three letter word portion for the younger set. The game keeps your attention and doesn’t take forever to finish. It is more interesting because of the progressive challenges.

5 Stars The most played game in our house
We often host game night for our multi-generational friends and family. Quiddler has been the game of choice since we first purchased it. Our very competitive group keeps a dictionary close by to challenge one another. My brother-in-law is often the winner, and claims it’s due to all the “vocabules” he uses. Sorry, pal, that’s NOT in the dictionary! I’ve also given Quiddler several times as a gift. It’s age appropriate for any gamer 9 to 90. Enjoy!

5 Stars We thoroughly enjoy this card game.
Whether with a group or just my wife and I, playing Quiddler is great fun.

1 Star Boring
Perhaps it is just what others have liked about this game – freedom from scrabble’s tyrannical board – is what I disliked about it the most in the end.

I am a huge fan of word games but I think the crucial ingredient in making this particular one fun is the presence of kids/teens. Just adults will find this pretty much a waste of their time even if they are big on word games/crosswords/boggle/scrabble etc.

4 Stars What a fun game
This is a game you can play anywhere (airplane, beach, even at home). Although the rules can get a little bit boring and the game can last a while with only 2 people, it is easy to add new rules and be creative with it.

5 Stars My High School Students are Addicted!!!!
I’m a math and physics teacher and I introduced this game to my 11th graders after the seniors graduated and we only had a few days in class. It started to sweep the school!!! Teachers were coming to play against students in their free period, kids were begging other teachers to come to my class – for what- to SPELL!!!! We learned new words, made new friends, and crossed all kinds of cultural boundaries. The best lesson I ever taught high school students. . Long after they forget the sine of 30 degrees, they will remember the words we learned in BANANAGRAMS!

5 Stars A good gift for 7-8 year olds….
I had read the reviews prior to the purchase. Considering this is an award winning game, I was sure it would be a good buy. It is a good gift for kids who love words and a first fun game with words before graduating to the Scrabble. Personally, I think it is more fun than the Scrabble for 7 year olds. The 7-8 year olds I bought this game loved it. I got two of them from Amazon. Fabulous gift!

5 Stars Bananagrams is a great family game
We play a lot of games at our house. I wrote a weekly game review article for a local paper for a couple of years, and Bananagrams was one of our all time favorite games. It’s definitely one we keep coming back to. We had given our review copy to some friends and missed it so much, I had to buy another copy. If you like word games, you’ll love Bananagrams.
