I'm glad I got WordsWorth for $1.99 than paying $4.99 for this game. Its a lot more fun..tapping words is easier because of the Hexagonal shape of the grid. Plus, I can customize the game at my will. Bookworm might be more colourful but when it comes to performance WordsWorth has no comparison. If you havent got it yet,you're in luck..the game is on sale right now at 99 cents.. No way, Wordsworth is any day better!

Personally I find the mechanics of cancelling a word sooo annoying - why can't the game cancel your entry if it's incorrect instead of having to go and tap the bottom of the screen? I also find the design, well, tacky? Scramble is a better game IMHO. Guess I must be the only person to think that this game dosen't live up to the hype?

Searched for Bespelled when I bought my iPhone and was shocked not to find it. Then I checked again and there it was. I really like the new features but am surprised at the rejection of common words. Back when it was on the WWW I was in the upper five percent of players. I got broadband to attempt the top one percent without staying up all night on dial-up. The minute we subscribed to broadband the internet version disappeared. My current high score is around 4,500,000. It is fun to top my high score, but it was more fun submitting my scores to the web.
