Description: "WordsWorth comes with little ceremony, which makes its unembellished wordplay all the more likely to win you over"Wordsworth is probably one of the best word games I've played. I enjoyed the developer's preview game, Wordulous, but Wordsworth is leaps and bounds above it. Gameplay is simple - you are faced with a screen filled with hexagons, each with a letter in it. Click adjacent letters to spell as many words as possible. As words are removed from the board, new letters continuously fall into the screen to be used. When a certain level of points is achieved, players progress to the next round.

The user can save his scores to the Global Score board the next time he logs in, in case he doesn't have network at the time of playing the game.
There are two modes available - Classic, which is a more relaxed non-timed version, and Timed, where you race the clock to see if you can complete levels in time. Bonus points are awarded for spelling the code word that appears at the bottom of the screen. There are also special tiles that occasionally fall - ones that can be used as any letter, ones that instantly shuffle the letters for you, ones that are timed that you must get rid of quickly, etc. You can even customize between 4 size boards, minimum word length (3-7), and which word list you wish to use. All of these factors make for exciting and addicting gameplay.
I'll be honest - I wasn't expecting to enjoy this game as much as I did. I picked it up last night for a brief look, and I couldn't put the game down. I finished 3 total games (2 timed, 1 classic) before I realized it was far too late and sleep was needed. The game is obviously extremely polished and well-put-together. The biggest flaw it has is that occasionally I tended to miss the checkmark at the bottom of the screen to clear the completed word. Whenever this happened, I would have to go back and reselect each letter, which ate away at my time a little. Though slightly frustrating, this did not limit the amount of fun I had with this game. It's probably one of the best word games on the market - definitely worth checking out!
