How to have more fun with words 26 February 2010
The building blocks of copywriting can provide hours of entertainment. Here, for your Friday afternoon enjoyment, is a very small selection of online word and language games.

1. Take a lighthearted Businessballs look at the weird world of the acronym – and the “bacronym”.
2. What are you like at Word Association? This started as an experiment and is now the world’s largest database.
3. Making literacy fun – and it’s not just for the kids. From compounds to synonyms, here are plenty of word and language-related activities from Woodlands Junior School.
4. Want to know more about Tom Swifties, rebus puzzles, or ambiguous headlines? Of course you do.
