I also like Bananagrams, which is sort of like speed Scrabble. And it comes in a fun, portable pouch shaped like a banana. 🍌

I guess I like the challenge of trying to remember words and how you spell them—part fun, part aging-brain exercise. I did not love Scrabble as a kid—too much like homework.
As a young kid, nothing beat Candy Land. Chutes and Ladders was good too. As I got older, I loved playing Clue with my friends.
Isn’t it funny that a game about gruesome murders was so popular and widely accepted by virtually all families? Miss Scarlet killed somebody in the library with a f****** wrench?? 🔧 🩸

I have yet to try Wordle. As an English teacher and a self-professed vocabulary geek, I think I wound love it. But every time I see a graphic like the one you posted, I feel like it’s some super-cool insider thing that I just don’t get 😝

It never dawned on me how violent Clue is. A wrench?!? That’s a little brutal!

Right? And those little weapon tokens…the lead pipe was bent – presumably from the murder.
