Could someone please tell me how I can search for word games that I haven't played - and possibly didn't know existed on BGA?
Thanks.

You have to search them manually.
Word Spell: Letter Tycoon, Hardback, Buyword
Word Guess: Concept, Haiclue, Pingimus, Illustori

Illustori is more of a word chain.
Maybe BGA could add "Words" as a mechanism in the filter now that it has more games.

I think BGA would do well to have a Forum section set aside for game genres with separate threads for categories like, for instance,
Word games...dice games....deduction games.....solo games ...cooperative games....sports and racing games.....and so on and etc.
Because every month or so a new member will come along and ask for a list of all the games of a certain genre and there will have already been a few threads created to explore the question but they've been bumped well off the front page and no one has the heart to search for and resurrect them. So instead, we re-invent the wheel afresh.
Moderators could create new threads within this forum as we go along and determine new genres that are worthy of being "stickied". We could even have a "suggest a new genre" thread.
Another aspect of this matter is that the list of offerings within a particular genre grows over time and needs an easily accessible place to receive updates. One thread I'd particularly check from time to time would be the one for solo games to see what latest beta offerings have options for solo play.

Thanks for all the responses. I only received notification that there were any answers – this morning!
I will be reviewing them for my group.

Yes, exactly! And I definitely agree with spiegel428’s previous comment:
“Maybe BGA could add "Words" as a mechanism in the filter now that it has more games.”
That would be great.
Has anyone passed these Forum suggestions on to management? I am very new to the forums / support mechanism and don’t want to duplicate efforts.
