Worder is a challenging word game which tests your ability to find words within a set of nine letters.

Worder requires no internet connection and is great for plane flights, commuting on subways and remote travel destinations.

The object of the game is to make as many words as possible.. and find the one word using all nine letters too.

Worder has no timers, explosions or music, just sit down for a relaxing game of Worder.. playing at your own pace.

Worder includes many game options, including a "Shared Letter" mode where all words should include the highlighted letter, or standard mode that allows you to use all letters.

The minimum word length for a game can also be selected, which can limit the number of words that need to be found.

Worder also includes 6 difficulty levels, so that Worder can cater for those who are intimidated by games with large word sets, to those people who are word game experts. Level 6 includes all words, where lower levels include a subset of the entire word list, based on how commonly words are used in everyday language/text.

You can challenge your friends by sending your current game for them to play. See if they can beat your score.


Reviews:


"If your looking for a good word game thats simple to use with no frills then buy this. I love the simplicity of it and main reason for my purchase. Sometimes I want to play a quiet word game without all the glitz and noise and this one I can play peacefuly. I havent any problems using it and find the words ok but you will find word variations in any word game. Tried the free version first before I decided. I recommend this to all. Nice game Peter!"

"Its on my first page. Its my favorite go to app. Never gets old"

"This game is so fun I could play it all day"

"Thank you for the update, the game is now excellent. I dont know how you managed to control the difficulty level of word choices, but youve done it! We are on level 5 (out of 6) and the words are challenging but theres not a single obscure word (many games, including the two I mention next, have problems with words no one has ever heard or seen). My wife and I play this often, its now our favorite word game, alongside of Wurdle (boggle) and Lexitron (anagrams)."

"Simple and so enjoyable! Well-designed. Im very happy I found this."

"What a revelation to have one of my fave games in an app WITHOUT TIMERS! Just wonderful!"

Pros and cons of Worder app for iPhone and iPad

Worder app good for

Great game. Simple concept but very challenging. Lots of fun, to either play on your own or with lots of people. Perfect way to pass the time in the subway or in the waiting room, listening to music.
I have much fun with this game testing and improving my English vocabulary, Its a new brain jogging classic for me already! I also like the clear and simple design, there is no stuff that gets in the way of just playing and stretching the mind. Looking forward to the German version.
I have several word games, but this is my all-time favourite. I agree with some complaints with some common words not being accepted, but my overall enjoyment makes it easy to overlook. Highly recommend!
I only wish there would be a configuration choice adding no "ed" and no "ing" to the no "s".
I only go for relaxing but yet brain challenging games. This is perfect!
I like the update and there is a shuffle button. Its on the bottom left, the one with wavy lines. I would like to see a "last word" button so I can bring up the last word and then add to it, or an "s" button that would just add the s on to the last word. Also to have the ability to tap the last letter to submit the word.

Some bad moments

A nice game but how strange that a French guy like me knows more english words than this software... and I promise Ive double checked in a dictionary!
Few updates since I bought it a few years ago. With the new iOS, it keeps crashing !!
For those who like Boggle, this is a great idea for a substitute but the idea is better then the final outcome. Serious updates are required to the accepted word dictionary. On numerous occassions well established words were not accepted. Not only are these words accepted in other word find games but also basic words as they appear in the dictionary (since when is oat not a word?). This is my biggest complaint but other upgrades are required to make this a good game.
This would be my number one time waster if it only had a better dictionary. Like the other commenters I come across words in each set that are obvious but not accepted (eat for example) yet other exceptionally obscure words are in there. A nice add on would be to allow selection of the letters so you can compete against friends.
Excuse me?!?!?! Since when is the word "Asian" not a word? Whoever came up with Worders word bank is stupid!
The dictionary refuses to accept even basic words at times, what a joke!
