Looking for new word board games, that are halachically permissible on Shabbos and Yom Tov, for adults (that werent mentioned in this earlier thread)?

Thanks but this one seems more kids oriented.

Word bits. It’s officially a kids game but adults have great fun with it too.

We enjoy Anagrams.

You use the Bananagrams tiles, but for a more challenging game. Flip over 3 tiles in the center. If they form a word, the first player to see it calls it. If they don't, flip another tile. When someone calls a word, they put those tiles in front of them, then, slowly, one at a time, more communal tiles are flipped. Anyone can take a word from someone else by rearranging the letters and adding at least one more, but the new word can't be from the same shoresh as the old word.

Let's say I called "red". An E was next turned over, and you called "reed." You took my letters, adding the extra E. Next, an S was turned over. I couldn't say "reeds", because it's the same root. But I call "seder", and take it.

You have a choice to call new smaller words, or to look for larger ones to take from other players. Obviously, the longer and more complicated the word, the harder it is to take. You can rearrange your own words. If, for example, S, S, A, and D are then flipped, I could call "sad" (or "ads"), or I could rearrange "seder" into "addresses".

Other word games we have tried on Shabbos are Trhyme and Scattergories, which you can do without writing or timers although the game officially calls for them.
