Product Description
Game of the Year winner at the 2009 International Toy Fair, Bananagrams is the international phenomenon that started with a simple idea: "An anagram game that is so fast it will drive you bananas!" Doing for letters what Sudoku did for numbers, it's the obsessive new puzzle craze that starts with 144 letter tiles in a banana-shaped bag and captures all the fun of crosswords and word games like Scrabble and Boggle. Now comes Bananagrams! The Official Book, which translates the brain-twisting word fun of the game onto the page, and adds much, much more. Even if you've never dipped your hand into the Bananagrams pouch, the book stands on its own with hours of challenging play. Written by the only three-time National Scrabble Champion, Joe Edley, Bananagrams! offers sixteen clever puzzle types, including Banana Trees, where the object is to build word grids based on a theme; Banana Splits, a collection of four quick anagram puzzles to be solved in rapid-fire style; Banana Leaves, with its four-, five-, six- and seven-letter words; Banana Filling what happens when you add a "K"?; and more. The puzzles have four levels of difficulty, from one banana to four bananas. Plus, there are glossaries; special strategies for Bananagrams: The Game; a list of "Weords" weird words that are cool to play; two- and three-letter words to take your game to the next level; fun banana facts; and, of course, an answer key.

 Great Gift July 10, 2010
kittycatkarma (York County, PA)
My husband are I are avid bananagrams fans. He is what I would refer to as a "wordy." When I saw this book, I knew it would be a great gift for him to take on the beach or plane. The puzzles range from easy to hard and they really make you think about words you could be using. It reminds me a little more of Scrabble than bananagrams, but that's ok. It's still a lot of fun.
 Love The Challenges, Hate The Fabrication June 12, 2010

Joe Edley and the creators of Banagrams need to sit down with the people at Workman Publishing and talk about the book binding. It is annoying to have the pages fall out of the book while you are sitting, say... in a doctor's waiting room or standing in a line...pages flying everywhere. Then you have to manage how to hold the collected loose sheets. If you want the pages to be easily removable, use micro-perforations. Otherwise, please use a better binding system. I will not buy another book of challenges until you fix the binding problem. Too bad because the word challenges are very good and the game itself is great.
Almost as addicting as the game itself! May 16, 2010

I like this book and hope they come out with more volumes! My 10-year-old daughter loves the bananagrams for kids book, too!

fun portable way to play bananagrams May 12, 2010

I bought this for my mom who loves to play bananagrams on her own at home. This was perfect since she rides the train and waits in a lot of doctor offices to keep her busy, without all the letters from the actual bananagrams game to worry about losing. It's not as frustrating as crossword puzzles, but keeps her thinking and busy.
