A game of Snatch in progress. Anagrams (also called Snatch or Snatch-words) is a fast-paced, non-turn-based Scrabble variant played without a board. The tiles are placed face-down in the middle of the table, and players take turns flipping a single tile, leaving it in clear view of all players.
The minimum acceptable word length can be adjusted to a player's skill level (for example, in a game with adults and children playing together, the children may be permitted to form four-letter words while the adults are restricted to words of at least five or six letters).
Scattergories is a creative-thinking category-based party game originally published by Milton Bradley in 1988. The objective of the 2-to-6-player game is to score points by uniquely naming objects, people, actions, and so forth within a set of categories, given an initial letter, within a time limit.
In this game, you want to click and drag over letter tiles to form words; these words must be three letters or more. Once you create a word, you'll clear those tiles on the board.

The parent calls out a three-letter word, and the child must move the letters to spell it out on the bottom row. Both teams use the same set of letters, and the team playing second waits in an offstage isolation booth until their turn comes. The first team's turn ends after four words or 60 seconds, whichever comes first.
For the purposes of scoring, Qu counts as two letters; for example, squid would score two points (for a five-letter word) despite being formed from a chain of only four cubes. Early versions of the game had a "Q" without the accompanying "u". Merriam-Webster publishes the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which is also suitable for Boggle. [4]
Upwords is a letter tile word game similar to Scrabble, with players building words using letter tiles on a gridded game board. Unlike Scrabble, in Upwords letters can be stacked on top of existing words to create new words. Scoring is determined by the number of letter tiles stacked in a new word.
