We loved Scrabble first and most, but Bananagrams became a favorite alternative. We decided to try Appletters this holiday, and it was enjoyed by all. Players must use different strategies than either Bananagrams or Scrabble, and the pace is slower than Bananagrams but faster than Scrabble. Fun for word game lovers.

I was surprised at the different mindset to play this game compared to Bananagrams or Scrabble. Only being able to link to the beginning or ending of the word requires a different strategy. As a collector of word games, I was pleased to add this one to my collection. The apple bag is a gimmick, but it does look nice on the table in a fruit basket.

I’m a huge Bananagrams fan. Understandably the Bananagrams company was hoping to repeat their much deserved success with Appleletters, but it’s not nearly as interesting or fun. As another reviewer mentioned, the apple is barely big enough to hold the letters without spilling when it’s unzipped.

We have been playing Bananagrams since purchasing it July 2009 and love it so much that we couldn’t wait to get this game made by the people. It is so much fun, especially if you love spelling games. More fun than Scrabble and easier. Anyone can play, young and old. Very portable and durable! Appleletters has provided hours of fun for our family this winter!! I suggest both games!!

When I first read how you play appleletters I thought it sounded great. I love bananagrams so I thought I would give it a shot. The only problem with the same is the score keeping is very complicated, but the strategy and planning mindset is great. Also because of the way you keep score, its not good for Shabbat. Overall I look forward to playing it again though.
