Description

"Similar to Quiddler, (Word Ace) boils Scrabble's bones for stock - but adds Texas Hold 'Em instead of Rummy, replacing the lid and going to "low" for a long simmer."
- Tycho, Penny Arcade
5/5 - "Word Ace is a great game that can easily eat away hours of your free time if you're not careful. The unique hybrid brings out the best in both Texas Hold Em’ poker and word games and is just plain fun."
- The Current Gamer
99/100 - "Texas Hold ‘Em + Scrabble = W-I-N: I played. It was fun. I played some more. I realized almost an hour had passed. Then I asked myself, why is this free? This game is more fun than games I’ve spent $3+ on, and… it’s free!"

Such an amazing game! A cross between texas hold em and scrabble/text twist. You have to make the highest scoring word out of your two cards and the 5 cards in the middle. Different waves of betting chips go around, and whoever has the highest scoring hand wins them all. It is such a fun game, so addicting, and even has achievements to keep you playing. 6/5. If you've heard of it before, download it, if you havn't, download it, and if you think you'll hate it, download it; you WILL love it.
Great!
I saw my buddy playing this on his Palm Pre and wanted it for my iPhone. I searched for it but it wasn't available at the time. I'm so excited that I have it, and I can even play with my friend on his Palm. Download this! Great free app!
This game is awesome!
This is the perfect iPhone game. Fans of word games should absolutely not miss it. I can't believe it's free! See you all online.
