What's the difference between My Word! and My Word! Junior?

And why isn't there a separate entry for each?

My Word! Junior replaces the more adult capital letters with kid-friendly lowercase letters. It really should be called "my word! junior."

Oh, who am I kidding? I have no idea. But I have wondered the same thing myself. Maybe it just doesn't have as many tildes and umlauts.

i would expect junior to have an "easier" distribution of letters. nix Z V X Q J, more and more common pairs, etc.

'''My Word!''' the regular version can be played by ages 7 and up by
*removing the wild cards
*removing all double letter cards except for QU
*removing the rule that punishes you for making an incorrect guess.

'''My Word! Junior''' has 56 single letter cards, and is for ages 7 and up. 22 are vowels and one QU is included.

The regular version has 54 single letter cards, 15 double letter cards and 3 wild cards. 20 of the single letter cards are vowels.

Both versions can be altered to match the skill level of individual players: younger players can be allowed to create words using only two cards, normal players stick to the three-cards or more rule, and faster, more experienced players must form 4-card words.

Other than that, the junior cards are half purple; the regular ones are half green. The junior came in a box, and the My Word! in a card-sized tin.
