Word play or wordplay is a literary technique and a form of wit in which the words that are used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of word play include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres, and telling character names (such as in the play The Importance of Being Earnest, Ernest being a given name that sounds exactly like the adjective earnest).
Word play is quite common in oral cultures as a method of reinforcing meaning.
Examples of visual orthographic and sound-based word play abound in both alphabetically and non-alphabetically written literature (e.g. Chinese).
Techniques
Some techniques often used in word play include interpreting idioms literally and creating contradictions and redundancies, as in Tom Swifties:
Play on Words is a word card game, in which players build words from 8 stacks of cards which show available letters. Players earn points by building words from the stacks or stealing opponents' words. Words can be captured if they are added to or rearranged to make a new word. Play on Words was released by David James Games in 2014.
Awards
Play on Words received a Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award in Fall of 2015.
Game Play
Play on Words can be played by either 2 or 4 players (2 teams of 2.) The dealer lays out the entire deck of 80 cards in 8 stacks on the table top. Player one builds one word (3 letters or more) from the available letters and places it on his or her side of the table. Player two then flips over any cards needed to replenish the stacks to 8 available letters showing. Player two builds one word AND has the option of using any available letters to capture the opponent's word by "playing on" that word. A "play-on" consists of either adding to a word -- or -- adding to AND rearranging the letters to make a completely new word. Player one then takes a turn. Play continues, with each player building at least one NEW word on their turn and having the option of capturing opponents' words by making "play-ons." When the stacks are gone, play ends and players count their points. Players receive one point per letter on their side of the table., The player with the most points wins that round. The game can be played in multiple rounds.
The book, by playwright Cheryl L. West, departs from Twelfth Night's usual setting of Illyria, resetting the play's action and characters in 1940s Swing-era Harlem.
Synopsis
Vy comes to swinging 1940s Harlem to write songs for the Duke, Harlem's greatest band leader. To overcome the sexist barriers of the time against women songwriters, she disguises herself as a man, Vy-man. She finds the Duke in tears over his loss of Lady Liv, Harlem's "queen of the blues". The Duke likes Vy-man's music, so he instructs the songwriter to go to the Cotton Club and present one of her songs as if it were a new song written by the Duke for Lady Liv. Lady Liv finds Vy-man charming, and a series of mistaken pairings results.
Play On is the sixth solo album by John Miles released in 1983 via EMI label.
Overview
EMI promised that Miles would use a top producer and top session musicians for his second album for EMI.
Eventually they chose Gus Dudgeon who had worked with artists like Elton John, Chris Rea and Elkie Brooks. Originally, the album was planned to be released in 1982, but because Dudgeon was not available at the time, the release was delayed.
It was also the first time that drummer Barry Black and bassist Bob Marshall were not used on the album. (Although Marshall still wrote the songs with Miles) Instead they were replaced by session musicians.
"The Right to Sing" was the first single released from the album and was written about the fact that record companies wanted to decide which songs Miles had to release and which direction he had to take.
"That's Rock 'n' Roll" was left off the album, because it was too different and was released as a B-side.
Here is a turn-by-turn example of how the "Starter Game" version of Play on Words is played.

Word play or wordplay is a literary technique and a form of wit in which the words that are used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of word play include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres, and telling character names (such as in the play The Importance of Being Earnest, Ernest being a given name that sounds exactly like the adjective earnest).
Word play is quite common in oral cultures as a method of reinforcing meaning.
Examples of visual orthographic and sound-based word play abound in both alphabetically and non-alphabetically written literature (e.g. Chinese).
Techniques
Some techniques often used in word play include interpreting idioms literally and creating contradictions and redundancies, as in Tom Swifties:
