Appletell announces WordsWorth winners

Last week, we ran a contest at Appletell in which we gave away three copies of WordsWorth for iPhone and iPod touch, courtesy of developer 99games. We asked readers to simply tell us their favorite word, from which we’d select our favorites, then randomly pick the winners from the reduced list. The process is done, and the winners are…

How much is a word worth? $1.99, to be precise. That’s the price of 99Games’ WordsWorth app for iPhone/iPod touch, and that’s what we’re giving away this week. Three copies, to be exact, and all you have to do to win yours is tell us your favorite word.

Appletell reviews Word Flow for iPhone, iPod touch

If you are looking for a game that really forces you to think, and if you love word puzzles, then World Flow is for you. This “fast paced word game” involves the user in a tile board of letters that have the ability to be shifted, either up/down or left/right. With a large amount of letters available at once, it appears as if the game would be pretty easy, but it definitely makes you think.

Appletell reviews Lexic word game for iPhone, iPod touch

Lexic is another word based puzzler for the iPhone. It’s like Bejeweled mixed with Scrabble, but the pieces are actually keys ripped off of a MacBook. Sounds like a killer mix right Now, after you’ve selected your letters to form a word, they light up and letters fall from above to replace them… Oh, I’m sorry. Did I just throw you right into the middle of the review? My apologies. Let me start over…

Appletell reviews WordsWorth for iPhone, iPod touch

WordsWorth is a word game that’s well suited for the iPhone’s touch screen, and better suited for those who savor “The Joy of Lex.” The game presents you with a grid of tiles, each containing a letter. The grid ranges from 4×4 to 7×7, depending upon your preference. It’s your job to link the letter tiles to form words. You can’t move the tiles, though, and the letters of the word must be touching each other in the order in which the word is spelled. The longer the word and the more rare the letters in the word, the more points you get. It’s a lot like Scrabble in that way, only you’re forced to find words instead of create them.

You may think you have a large vocabulary, and you probably do, but tapping it while staring at a jumbled mess of letters isn’t always so easy.
