Test your knowledge of language with these teasers devised by the creator of the most-backed word game ever on Kickstarter
League of the Lexicon is a new quiz game about language created by Joshua Blackburn. He says his ambition was “to make the ultimate game about words and language”, and the game’s 2,000 questions – divided into two levels of difficulty – cover everything from slang and archaic words to definitions, etymology, usage and trivia.
After launching on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter in June, the game raised about £380,000 from more than 5,600 backers, making it the most successful word game on the platform to date. Its fans include Stephen Fry, who has described it as “a logophile’s dream”. It is available at Waterstones, where it was game of the month in November.
