For any fan of Boggle or Scrabble, WordsWorth is an iPhone-gaming must. The objective is to connect as many letters as possible to form words of three letters or longer. Certain letters are worth points while some aren’t worth anything; some tiles give a blank for use in any word or bonus points for incorporation.

Buzzwords appear at the bottom and offer large rewards if you can finagle your letters in order to spell them. Timed tiles threaten to end your game if you don’t clear them within the time allotted. In addition, you can scramble and shuffle letters, racking up the points as the game’s difficulty increases.

As a fan of Boggle when I was younger and Scrabble now, when 99 Games sent me WordsWorth I was eager to play. Since then I’ve found myself wasting hours away playing their addictive game.

For $1.99, WordsWorth is well worth it’s price tag. It will give fans or word games hours of enjoyment as well as, in the later levels, a significant mental challenge.
