Games For The Literary Enthusiast

By Thom Yarbrough

If word games are your forte then you will be excited to know that you can now download them on your iPhone. iPhone users in iTunes can access a set of around 40 word games. They offer you interesting challenges and are being updated everyday.

Word Scramble

There are words hidden inside a grid of scrambled letters and all you have to do is look for the words on your screen. Compete with friends over WiFi and play live games with others, over EDGE or 3G and become a seasoned player. You can also play on your own in the Solo mode and play games with 4x4 or 5x5 boards. This game is perfect for you if you like games such as Text Twist and Scrabble. Enjoy hours of unlimited pleasure with this free game for your iPhone.

Frozen Lexicon

This is a fantastic game for those who want to stretch the limits of their vocabulary. Very similar in concept to Text Twist, there's a scrambled set of letters from which you have to make as many words as possible within the specified time limit. Words with more letters obviously gain you more points. If you're up to it, you can increase the excitement by moving on to 7 letter challenge words which are obviously much more difficult. Bonuses add to the fun while hints make life a little easier.

Crossword Blitz

How does carrying your own crossword pocket book sound to you? There is no internet connection required for you to play this game and so you can play endlessly without a pause. Crossword Blitz is challenging and hones your mental ability. All games are automatically generated.

Spel it Rite

This is a cool app where you have to recognize words that have been spelt wrong and choose the one which has the correct spelling only. You have to identify the typos as quickly as possible and for every error a penalty of five seconds is added to the total time. Once you finish a round, you have the option of looking at how well or how badly you have performed. In the free version, there are more than 600 really difficult words while the paid version has more than 2000 words. It's a good way to check how good your spelling is. You'll be surprised for sure!
