David Parlett chronicles the rich history and rules of dozens of classic and lesser-known word games, from anagrams and crosswords to spoken parlor games and pencil-and-paper contests, illustrating how each one sharpens wit and vocabulary. Written with a warm, playful tone that balances scholarly insight with accessible fun, the guide instructs readers on strategy and technique while keeping the emphasis firmly on enjoyment. Parlett's authoritative knowledge of game history lends the collection a depth that goes well beyond a simple rulebook, making it an indispensable reference for anyone who revels in the power and playfulness of the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839379714267,"sku":"2026770002112-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5a07e1e1-3bd5-422b-8e44-71b2f23a3c39.png?v=1780561017","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002112-secondhand-the-penguin-book-of-word-games","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
