1. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me? I'm not sure what you mean when you say it's about words
but that is an NPR game show and they sometimes have limericks. Great show too.

2. My Word?
I used to listen to two shows on WAMU in D.C. "My Word" and "My Music." They were both marvelous, produced by the BBC I think.

6. My Word?
That one's the old BBC show isn't it, It's my favorite, It's so quick like right-to-the-words.
We used to get 30 minutes a week on WETA in DC but they stopped it and so did WAMU. I almost forgot it :(

4. Are you thinking of the Weekend Edition Puzzle?
The "Puzzle" game with New York Times crossword puzzle editor Will Shortz?

7. Sez you
This is the one with a live studio audience, two panels, they do the bluffing game with word definitions. I usually catch parts of it Saturday morning.
