Quiddler, is a beautiful word game with naturally smooth gameplay that plays fast. These are essentials for a successful game that few word games have. Using special cards, Quiddler draws on one's ability to combine letters into words. Players must combine their entire hand into words trying to use the highest point value letters. Quiddler challenges you to do this first with three cards (round one), then with four, on up to ten cards in the last round. A bonus is given for both the longest word, and the most words made by a player in each round. The average game takes 20-40 minutes. Although it may appear that the person who knows the most words would consistently win, this is not the case when playing Quiddler. There is a visual perception aspect that draws on combining the cards with the highest points into the words rather than the first words a player recognizes. There is also an element of strategy. Players who win often don't go out at their first opportunity; on the other hand, sometimes they go out as soon as possible. Their actions are aimed at increasing their odds of getting either the long-word or the most-words bonus. The game works well for both beginning readers and accomplished word game players. Youngsters can enjoy Quiddler because players can win using short words. This results from the bonus for getting the most words in any round, which, of course, is obtained using short words i.e., zoo, is, of. On the other hand, accomplished word lovers are challenged because of the bonus given for the longest word in any round, as well as the aspects noted above. The solitaire rules included with Quiddler result in endless hours of word challenges for the single player. Although each game is quick to play (about 15-20 minutes), people have tended to play game after game. For 1 to 8 players. Ages 8 to adult.

Information about Quiddler

I have had the opportunity to use Quiddler on several occasions and enjoy the opportunity to play a scrabble like game using cards. Although I enjoy playing scrabble as well , this game appears to be less intimidating for individuals who feel they cannot play the seven letter scrabble game and hence it appears to tailor itself for a variety of individuals.

I love to play Quiddler. The only problem I have found with Quiddler is that there are so many cards that it is difficult to shuffle.

We were introduced to Quiddler by friends and purchased two additional sets, one for another set of friends and one for ourselves. This is the best game for traveling and can be played just about anywhere...airport bars is a favorite. Good for up to about ten people or only one for Solitaire. Recommend highly for lovers of Scrabble-type games.

Game was a lot of fun. Only questions is, there is no time limit on how long it is to find a word. We have decided to limit each turn to an egg timer, three minuts.
Great game but Instructions weren't clear

We purchased this card game because our family loves scrabble. Although the game is pretty innovative, it is hard to interpret the instructions that comes along. It could have been clear in spots. Atlast we made up our own rules and had fun with it.
