About Anagram Race
Anagram Race is a lightning-fast word game where the letters of a word have been given a good shake. The first to see which word is hiding taps their button and spells it by tapping the letters in the right order.
When the iPad lies in the middle of the table, every player has their own big button at the edge. When you tap it, the letters turn round to face you. Answer wrong and you’re out for that word, and the others get their chance.
If a little time passes without an answer, hint letters appear in their correct place – but each hint letter costs a point. Play with a TV and phones if there are lots of you: the letters are shown on the TV, and everyone spells away on their own phone.
How to play
- Choose one screen or TV + phones, the word length and the number of words.
- Look at the jumbled letters and find the word.
- Tap your button and spell the word by tapping the letters in order. On a phone, you just spell away.
- A correct answer scores one point per letter minus one point for each hint letter. Most points after the last word wins.
