 Even my Mom will play this January 16, 2008

My husband got me this game for christmas. I had asked for marjong qwest and he bought this one by accident. At first I was disappointed not to get the game I had wanted but this game turned out to be a plesant surprise.
My favorite GBA game was scrabble blast and now I like this game even better because of the better 2 player options.
The best part is being able to play against others. It is neat to be able to challenge my son on his ds, even if he is in another room. I was very surprised when i was on a recent 5 hour car drive that my 60 year old mother would not put this game down. My mom would never use any sort of gameboy before. I showed her the game and she loves crossword puzzles and scrabble so she was hooked quickly. Because of the great Ds battery life we had a 3 hour challenge going. Now my mom wants a DS!
I wish more players would come on the WIFI. I rarely find anyone else to play against except local download.
I recommend this game. It has been fun for my family from ages 9-60! and it has become a great tool for spelling for my younger children.
 Almost like BookWorm December 7, 2007

This game is a lot like Bookworm that you can play on your PC, but not quite as challenging as the letter area is not as big, and there are no "burning" letters. It could be a bit more challenging, with more letter space like on the PC version, but it's a lot of fun.
fun word game, but too easy over all January 30, 2008

I've played this for at least 20 hours so it was worth every penny. But it has to be said the game offers wayyy too many vowels and "easy" consonants like s and t, so it is REALLY easy to make 5 letter or larger words. And you can score with 2 letter words which also makes the game too easy. There is a daily puzzle mode which offers a decent challenge but over all, the game could have offered a few difficulty options to cater to someone who wants a harder challenge.
Just like playing Daily Scrabble game! February 29, 2008

I really like this Word Jong game. At first glance I thought it would be like Mah Jong but was glad it wasn't. The tiles are like Mah Jong but you make words out of the letters that are available on top of the tiles.
It is really alot of fun! My favorite part is the daily calendar Word Jong. A puzzle for each day! So far I have solved the whole month of February! You can go back to previous month if you want.
Great word game if you are into forming words on what is available to you or if you like spelling as well!

I would compare this game to a Scrabble type game. It's challenging and shows me that I need to brush up on how many words I know, since I seem to only come up with short words. (lol) So far I really like it and it's something you can play for short periods of time. You don't need to have an hour or two set aside for it.
