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

The game has graphics that are playful and a chat room for basic exchanges of greeting (limited number of letters). Game play is fast or slow depending upon your activity, and on the activity of your opponent. Two things to keep in mind: when I first started playing this game, the chat room was a safe place to say hello to other players. Now, you should use the chat room with care because there are several scammers on there. They will try to get you to talk about your self your family, your personal information, your location, etc. The second thing is that the play clock allows several days for the other players to respond without losing their turn. This is generous and the game pace doesn’t feel punitive. But if you want more frequent activity, you will need to do it by playing a long list of opponents/games at one time or play the computer. There you find all levels of skill and characters in abundance. Great game but WATCH OUT for the chat room. There are scammers there. The usual caveats about online interactions still applies when the characters are cute.
