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.
