Wordtouch 4+

You won't be disappointed at all if you enjoy word building. Not as mind-racking as scrabble as there are more letters with which to work, but better for forming longer more complex words, and thus a better vocab exercise in my opinion. Simple but nice interface, the entire grid of available letters is given from the start so thinking vertically towards later words adds to the strategy. It is just you against your own word making skills, with no time limit, and games are saved where you left off. You can listen to iPod while playing. They have made a fix for the premature ending and this has worked so far. I finally have downloaded a game that will hold my interest.

Update: Purchase checkword app as a nice little word look-up utility to enhance wordtouch. Cheap, since it doesn't include definitions, but verifies usuable scrabble words and has nice anagram look-up features.

I've had this for a few weeks and it's addictive. I find myself playing it whenever I have an extra few minutes. I showed it to some family members at a function last week and I couldn't get it out of their hands either. I've had some issues where the game quits even though there are words to play -- but I think these are minor bugs that I expect to be fixed soon. Look-and-feel are excellent. Instructions are excellent. Highly recommended to anybody that loves word games. Great job, Spindrift!

I love this game and my wife and I play it often. The problem for me is that I keep hitting the little score box in the upper right corner when trying to choose a letter under the box. I then seem to hit the new game bar and lose the game I was working on. I have lost so many good "boards" because of the closeness of the box and the letters. Try it. I admit, I am pretty fast but hate to be penalized when a quick re-design would fix the problem for me and anyone else it may bother. Thanks.
