Word Chums‪!‬ 17+

I like how Word chums challenges you to think of words you sometimes don't use a lot and how others know words that you have not heard before. It keeps you very competitive and on the edge all the time. It's very addictive in a good way. I also think it helps to keep brain cells stimulated. I also enjoy the chumbots and how you don't always lose with them. I wish they would use a more variety of letters. I don’t see many k’s, p’’s, m’s. Too many q’s and z’s. Enough. Word Chums I am addicted to this game and now I have 4 addicted friends. It is quite challenging and fun. I surprise myself with some of the words I can come up with. I also have learned new words that I’ve never heard of. I like the Chumbots because I learn new strategies from them. Word Chums I thoroughly enjoy the games and I have 4-5 friends who are seriously addicted. I like the challenge most times of thinking of new words. I don’t like how I sometimes get 3 of the same letters namely (i) all the time. I would like more of some of the other letters to appear more often. All in all it is a good game. I agree with you. This is a good word game that I am addicted to as well. Like the last review, I don’t like that the same letters always always appear. I nan never use prefixes like un, re, pre etc. I never can make words with the letters k, m, g,l or t.

I like reading reviews, but hate leaving them (I’m such a hypocrite!). Here’s what I like about this version of a “Scrabble” app: •the colors separate the board so the game pieces are more distinct and easier to read •the characters are cute and customizable (wait, it gets better) •the word that is allowable lights up on the board as you play it, if it’s a valid word. You can add or subtract letters and figure it out before you hit the “Play” button to lock in your turn •it also gives you the points for the word as you figure out viable words and letters (Some other game apps don’t, which make it harder. They just say you can’t play that word or it isn’t an acceptable word after you hit the play button.) •after a word has been played, and for all other words played on a board, you can touch a word to get a definition •if you don’t want to play a live person, there are probably 15 or so levels of increasing difficulty that you can play against the ‘computer’ •if you want to play a friend, it’s easy to both sign up and play •there’s a chat feature to talk to your opponent

I was looking for games to help keep my mind sharp as I am over 65. I never was good at scrabble, so this game which moves at my own pace gives me the time I need to think of words and the best place to put them. I don’t feel the social pressure to put any old word down. I tried playing with real people that were supposedly matched to my level, when I ran out of bots to play with, but I disliked that. The players were very slow, sometimes taking a day or more for one word and came up with words I figured they looked up with a scrabble word finder. I am quite well educated and had never even heard of a lot of them. I then broke down and paid for unlimited bots so I enjoy the game again. I like the animated characters, and never realized until I looked it up that the hats and stuff were for more than show. It would be nice if the game told you that kind of information at the beginning or had a glossary attached to look up what these kinds of things mean. I guess I’ll keep playing until I am tired of it!
