I can’t say for sure, because I’m not the author of this article, but if I understand his ideas, I think your game is closer to Bananagrams, because the entire landscape of the game can change instantly (e.g. stealing words). Great game by the way. I will definitely try it out with the family. I really like it when people use exisiting game components to invent their own games.

We use our bananagram letters to play a game called anagrams. We turn over one letter at a time and as soon as a player can see a four or more letter to make a word they call it out and take the letters and add the word to their word collection. In addition to making words from the letter pool you can also add letters to your own words to make a new word (new meaning – not just a plural or past tense) or to your opponents words and then you take the whole new word from them. Can be pretty cut-throat! Scored at the end of the game by giving 1 point for every tile in your word collection above the first three letters in a word. So a four letter word is 1 point and a six letter word is three points. Interesting to know where anagrams fits between the scrabble and bananagram models
