bookworm deluxe
I enjoy the mental challenge of this game. I firmly believe it is important to continually exercise the gray matter. My top score is over 6,000,000 and I keep a game going all the time. I find it quite addicting.

I Love This Word Game
My sister introduced me to this game and I can't stop playing it. Forming words from letter tiles isn't as easy as you would think. You can go up, down and sideways.
You're rewarded for longer words and ones using difficult letters (Z,K,X,Qu). Short words result in quick scores, but soon burning tiles start falling. As you hustle to work those into words, the game has an urgency even though in the classic version you have time to ponder your next move.
There's also an action version you can select from the menu and the tiles keep moving while you try to make words. Not easy!
As the score goes up, you move to different levels. It's good that you can save the game to return as sometimes I'm playing for three or more hours. Hard to stop, once you start.
There are sound effects and an engaging background tune. I had to turn those off, as I found the tune running through my mind all day. Maybe that's part of what makes the game addictive. Probably not, as I still return to it often even without the music.
Update: my computer crashed while Bookworm was running. Now the game won't open. I'm not sure how to resolve this, but guess I must contact the company. Very frustrating, as it won't let me reinstall from the disk either. I'd only had it for a week.

Ridiculous for the price...
...this is a very small game -- something like 5 megabytes -- and they want fifteen bucks plus shipping?...it's not a very good game -- the words you can make are necessarily very simplistic and consequently redundant...moreover, a little web searching and you can find plenty of similar games for FREE...forget it.

Very fun!!!
I love playing this game. It's educational. You learn new words you didn't know existed, and my son (a second grader) learns to spell better. I play for hours with this game. So far, I have gotten to level 29 and still trying to beat it.
