But is it a kids’ game, or is it for grown-ups? The younger ones certainly love the bandit machine itself: a satisfying crank of the lever and - whoosh!!! - the spinning letters resolve in all their colourful glory. Jackpot!
You’ll find Word Bandit in most toyshops, department stores and online – and it’s such a neat bit of engineering that it doesn’t even need any of those pesky (and expensive) batteries. So file under ‘a true family challenge’ – and get a game together after Boxing Day tea!
