"This is for that friend that finishes the Wordle in three tries and solves the purple clues first in Connections. League of the Lexicon reminds me a bit of Trivial Pursuit - players or teams take turns asking everyone questions from a double-sided card with answers on the back. Questions come in five categories and cover synonyms, word origins, spelling, definitions, archaic words, grammar, linguistic trivia and more."
"Two thousand questions are spread over hundreds of cards, and those are split into two difficulty levels: Tricksy and Ticklish. That means more seasoned wordsmiths can play with less wordwise players. It isn't a raucous party game but it's fast-paced and easy to learn and set up. Even getting a question wrong is satisfying, thanks to detailed answers that fill in knowledge gaps. Personally, I was thrilled to be publicly rewarded for spending way too much time on Merriam-Webster's quiz pages."
