Wordulous is a nice implementation of a familiar game. Given a set of random letters, how many words can you make with it? This game type has been popular on many PDA platforms. What sets this version apart from earlier versions that I have played is that not only is there a timed mode for those that like the pressure, but there is an option where you can challenge someone to play against you from either your email contacts on the game’s server or your Facebook friends. While I could not find anyone to play against, and while I didn’t play in the timed mode, I enjoyed the relaxed “practice” mode.
While I find this $0.99 game entertaining in solo play, my one recommendation is that it allow an option to challenge a random user in competitive mode. It would be cool to compare your scores to others looking for someone to challenge and match up challengers of similar skill levels. It would solve the issue that I had where a game with an online play component could not be fully appreciated becasuse no online competitor could be found. Marking which of your friends already had the app and could play against you would be a nice touch as well.
Overall though, this game is worth a buck for anyone that enjoys word games. It will be one that stays around on my iPhone for a while.
