WordsworthWordsWorth, currently on sale for $0.99 in the iTunes Store, is another release by the folks at 99games, the same folks that do Wordopolous.  Not only does WordsWorth come in different languages, but you can also play with different master word lists.  I had to look up these lists to see what they were, but some of them are HUGE and are the official lists used in things like Scrabble tournements.  Anyway, this is one of those games where you try to create words out of adjacent letters.  The longer the words and more uncommon the letter, the more points you get from it.  As you create a word an “submit” it againt the word list with the little check button, the letters disappear and the points are added to your total

I’ve played a similar game on my iPhone, but enjoyed this one better.  That other game required sliding your finger from one letter to the next.  My fat fingers kept hitting the wrong letters and I’d have to start over.  But this implementation is better.  You “tap” the letters you want.  It doesn’t sound like a major difference, but it sure makes the game less frustrating for big fingers.  The game offers both a timed mode and a more relaxing “classic” mode with variable minimum word size as well as size of the letter grid.  And, as you play, you can get “reward tiles” that will do things like randomize the letters for you or give you a wild card.

This is a nice implementation of this type game.  If you like word games, I recommend it.  I’ll go as far as to say that between this and Wordopolous, I enjoy this one better.
