About this item

Highlights

  • From the creators of Exploding Kittens comes A Little Wordy; a new kind of tile-unscrambling game.
  • Create a secret word from your pile of letters, then give your tiles to your opponent to try and figure out buying and using clue cards with beautifully illustrated birds like the Ravin’ Raven, Permed Eagle, or Yolo Dodo.
  • A Little Wordy is a game for people of all vocabulary levels - rather than choosing a fancy secret word like “REPUDIATE”, you should pick a word like “TURD” which might be harder for big word-game brainiacs to figure out.
  • A Little Wordy includes 16 clue cards featuring newly discovered birds drawn by the Oatmeal, 81 alphabetically correct letter tiles, 40 berry token, 2 dry erase player shields to protect your secret word, 2 draw erase markers, and 2 cloth drawstring bags for “vowels” and “consonants”.

Description

From the award-winning creators of the best-selling games, Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito, A LITTLE WORDY is a fresh take on the genre of word-unscrambling games. Rather than being another game of “who has the biggest vocabulary?” A Little Wordy requires players to assemble a word from a set of tiles and keep that Secret Word to themselves. Each player then takes turns trying to decipher each other’s Secret Word by asking for clues and hints.

You and your opponent are each given a pile of letters. Rearrange the letters in your pile until you come up with a word. Keep this word a secret. Scramble your letters and swap them with your opponent. Take turns trying to decipher each other’s Secret Word by asking for clues and hints.

Q: Is this a fun game to play together as adults, or more kid-friendly? Looking for something for a newly retired couple to enjoy together.

submitted by Mamaof4 - 9 months ago
  • A: This game is best played with players over 10 years old. It's perfect for adults, however it can be played with kids as young as 10. I wouldn't go younger.

It's not just guess your opponents word, it's do it while earning the most points (berries). it's mostly quick and it's fun and you can esily spend an hour playing rounds of it and not notice the time passing.

A Wordy Play On Words!

5 out of 5 stars
Rick P. - 2 months ago
originally posted on Exploding Kittens
Think you`re useless at word games? Not a `Scrabbler`? Well, try "A Little Wordy", and you may be pleasantly surprised (not horribly surprised; it`s not "Exploding Kittens"!) My wife, bless her cotton, isn`t a word -gamer. Me, I love `em, and crosswords, and codewords etc. So, when I received this as a Father`s Day prezzy, my immediate thought was "looks good, who am I gonna play it with?" However, as soon as I perused the roolz, I realised it could be fun-fun-fun, even with the wife!! The beauty is that, even for `word-blinders`, you have the option of checking your word in the `dic` before you start. Also, another beauty (or several, actually), are the Vanilla & Spice cards. These allow players to gather clues as to their opponents` mystery word . The clues cost you Berries (points) though, so you may discover the first letter, but it might give the other player an advantage in scoring. Neat!I`s a balance between going for `bigger` clues & guessing (or knowing) their word quicker, or being steadier & more sure before having a crack at their word. If you`re correct, the number of Berries each player has becomes more important! This is a cracking little game for 2.

I love word games and this one is simple yet fun to play. some parts of the whiteboard dont scrub off well using the eraser on the top of the marker but i use some ethanol and it works great.

It's like a mash up of Scrabble, Wordscapes, and Wordle. We love word games. I crush in Scrabble, he dominates Boggle. This had a bit more of an even spread and it was a ton of fun. Definitely recommend!

Husband and I are stuck in the same room because our dog just had surgery. I ordered this game before the unexpected surgery, so it was somehow written in the stars. We laughed. I didn't get mad. Success!

A Little Wordy, and a Lot of Fun

Wow - this game is fantastic! Loved that it is super easy to learn, and doesn't take a huge time commitment. It came out numerous times during holidays with family and friends, who all loved it as well. The only down side was the white boards and markers did not work well, so we just used paper instead. But that did not take away from the fun!

A fun game for 2 people! It’s not easy to find games that are for 2 people and fun, but this one is! You can adjust it based on skill level and each round is different. Definitely worth checking out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little wordy definitely something I can relate to as well as my kids seeing this game I was so so surprised and how similar it is to Scrabble which is good it's like the Scrabble version for children which I truly adore and my kids did as well at this point we've played this game so many times and they still can't get enough of it it's amazing how many words they can learn to spell we even added a extra rule if we don't know the word we look it up to see what it means which is also even more educational which I'm definitely for

Markers don’t erase properly

Love this game but the markers don’t erase properly/consistently. Would suggest using separate sheets of paper or post it notes instead so you don’t wreck your secret word cards! Playing with my 9 year old.

Quick to learn and SO much fun! We don’t use their online dictionary, but that’s another way to make it more interesting. This game is a blast and such a fun twist on typical ones!

My husband and I are always on the hunt for 2 player board/card games, so we decided to give A Little Wordy and try and we love it! Think Wordle, but with extra clues. Overall, a great game and very re-playable.

When you want a simple but fun game for date night, this is a good one. It can be quick or lengthy depending on the words you choose in the game. I bought it since it's from the makers of exploding kittens and those guys have yet to let me down. Great game for adults or older kids.

Great little game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids really enjoy this game. It is a 2 player game and took them about 20 minutes to get through. The kids like to play a minimum of 4 rounds. My youngest (9) has learned new words and has really helped with his spelling. The box it comes in isn't very big which makes storing it nice and easy. The little tile pieces are well made and have held up great despite all the handling they get. We will continue to enjoy this game for many years to come.

A little wordy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This exploding kittens- a little wordy is more for a adult of high schooler. I have bought this for my eleven year old daughter for Christmas and we broke it out to play and we had trouble. It was very advanced. It's a great game for learning and to tweak the mind. Just not for the younger kids.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is so fun! I have other games by this company so I knew it was going to be a good time. This makes me feel like it's a good way to work my brain and have fun with it. We took it on vacation and it was amazing for a rainy day when we were stuck inside! Small too so easy for packing!
