Do the letters pop out of the separate squares?

yes the letters pop out, and the centers of round letters do too! for example, the two circles inside the 8, center of O, D, Q, P, R, etc. my son loves them!
359622
Yes. My kids are 1 and 2 1/2 and they LOVE them. Plus the padding really helps with them playing on the travertine!
359623
Yes they do. That's the one annoying thing is that the letters come out fairly easily. I also have the black 'gym' tiles (same type of puzzle foam pieces) that fit together from costco and the functionality is so much better but the alphabet tiles are much more aesthetically pleasing ;-)

Yes, all the letters and numbers come out. And for the letters and numbers like 0,p and o the insides of the letters pop out too.

There are over 50 letters in the set. I think they do form a complete alphabet, but I can check and make sure on Monday.

You can play Bananagrams and Appletters interchangeably with the same tiles, but Bananagrams comes with more vowels. The Bananagrams letters do stand up by the way.Pairs in Pears uses 4 different "suits" of letters (solid, striped, dotted, and outlined), so you wouldn't be able to adapt the other two games to play it, it also comes with the least amount of tiles, and the letter distribution is one of each letter in each suit so it doesn't have more of more commonly used letters like the other two. Hope that helps!

yes they do have raised lettering on the outside of the letters are raised I hope that helps you out

I don't know if it would be possible to cut each letter to use them individually. However I don't have any problem using the letters as they are. It just takes practice.

I have no idea. Only certain letters such as a N , M and W have pointed transitions that bend and are difficult to control a clean cut.

They are individual letters. There is no backing to the letters. All of the letters are separate.

Yes. The letters are outlines of letters, about 3-4 mm raised from the sidewall.
1445229
Yes they do. They are duel sided. One white letter side and one side all black

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.

Yes there are a few blank tiles. I used them for a craft project so I turned over extra letters for more blanks.

Basically same shapes. Some squares are like windows, the translucent colors are different and interesting. They would add texture color to what you have. My grandsons like them and we have had fun doing things with them (watched their video!) I think for the price difference they do the job.

Yes, each square has a removable circle. I found, due to the small size of the squares, that the interlocking function of the pieces is very weak. We found a set at Sam's Club, that is basic colors, but the squares are twice as large and interlock much better. This set is pretty, but not very practical for a lot of use.

I think it is merely a question of quality control. I'm not sure if you are familiar with older versions of the Boggle brand, but every single letter on every side of every cube was perfect. For some reason that is not the case with Super Big Boggle. Some letters are off-center. Some letters look as if the ink spilled over and someone "colored outside the lines." Most of the letters are fine but I find it distracting when the imperfect letters pop up. The game is still great fun!

Yes. The letters are raised. My two year old grandsons have no trouble removing and replacing them on the puzzle boards.

I was wondering the same thing -- don't own any yet and have been looking for the answer. Pairs has 4 kinds of patterns (like a the 4 suits of a deck of cards), so if you are playing with patterns, Bananagrams would lack that. The main problem I see with Appletters is that the tiles are thicker and stand up so others can't see your tiles, so Bananagrams wouldn't do that. But this is just a "best guess" and I would really like to hear a response from this from people who have actually played/own the games. :)

As noted, two behind each letter. I found the magnets not sufficient to hold some of the larger letters.
