Bananagrams word game is best seller

The Bananagrams word game has been named the UK’S bestselling toy over the last 16 years by a major retailer – in a top ten that does not include a single battery, switch or app.

The £15 portable word puzzle has sold more than any other toy on Amazon.co.uk since 2000, followed by Tomy’s Pop Up Pirate! and the £7 Orchard Toys Shopping List memory game, the retailer said.

The Dobble observation card game and the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden education kit are also on the list.
