I pride myself on being on top of all of the latest things. I read four newspapers a day, multiple magazines a month and watch a lot of TV (probably far too much…). Bottom line: I try to be as informed as possible on everything possible.
Yet I only recently discovered the phenomenon that is Bananagrams! The creators call it “an anagram game that is so fast it will drive you bananas.”
All I can say is that this innocent appearing amusement – which consists of 144 letter tiles in a banana-shaped bag – is one of the most addictive games I have ever played.
And I’ve learned that I’m not alone. I started telling friends and colleagues about this amazing “new” game I’d found and they all laughed and said “Don’t you love it? I’m a huge fan.”
Well, now I finally have some news to break to them: there’s a new version of this ridiculously addictive past-time. Bananagrams! The Official Book has just arrived at a store near you.
The book has 575 word challenges to drive you … wait for it … bananas. They range from one banana (easy) to four bananas (hard). I have to admit even some of the one banana puzzles stumped me at first. But the more I did them the better I got. Now I even manage to get through some of the most challenging ones without taking a sneak peek at the answer key!
My advice: don’t come late to this new trend. Get a copy of Bananagrams! now. Trust me. You’re sure to find it a–peel–ing. (Sorry – I couldn’t resist!)
