 BookWorm Deluxe - Excellent!! April 7, 2005

I bought the online version before the CD came out...It is the very best word game I've ever played!! I'm also 50+ and I believe this game is great for all ages to improve memory, spelling and learning definitions of some words I've never heard of before. The worm is so funny when he starts to shake and sweat when the red, burning tiles get too close to the bottom. I HIGHLY recommend BookWorm Deluxe. It's everything it's advertised to be and MORE...it's also hard to stop playing!! You will love it!!
Loads of great fun!!!! May 3, 2005

I found this game at an online game site and HAD to have it as soon as it was available to purchase!
Lots of fun and I am admittedly addicted to playing this game whenever I get in front of my computer.
The animation with the dragon is cute and so amusing that he is an inspiration to make bigger, difficult words just to see him react.
This is one of the best word games that I have played. School age children and adults will all enjoy this educational and fun game.
I highly recommend everyone to purchase this addicting, enjoyable (and educational) game.
Like Scrabble but WAY more fun February 26, 2006

Warning - this game can become addictive! You click on tiles to build interesting words for points. It's amazing what words you'll learn as definitions are posted for more difficult words. Burning tiles force you to think fast or you'll lose the game. Great educational game with all the fun of a Gameboy. Great fun for ages 8-110.

Read a review of this game in the local paper.
Decided to try it and see if it would be suitable for the
grandkids (13,12 & 9). I ordered their copy two days after
I started playing my own. Forming words is easy and you can try
for a word you think will work. Somtimes you'll find a word
you didn't know. Now I find myself looking up these words
to see their meaning. The grandchildren took to it immediately
and now the race is on for highest scores in the classic
game and the action game. A WINNER. Wish they had put the title
you achieve along iwth your name and score in the game's Hall of Fame.

Bookworm Deluxe - using a board filled with letter tiles, you try to make words. The more letters you use in your word, the more points you add to your score. In addition, the longer your word, you'll earn specially colored squares. In order of priority points - green, yellow and Diamond.
Now, if you keep using three letter words, then red tiles will begin to appear -you don't want them - they are fire tiles. They'll drop to the bottom and if you can't use their letters before they hit the bottom - GAME OVER.
After the early levels, you'll get a chance to go for bonus words, these appear beneath the Bookworm Character. If you get these words, you'll earn a bonus and a new word will appear. Keep getting the bonus words and you'll earn more and more lucrative bonus awards.
Behind the Bookworm character is a bookcase. As you keep getting words, books form on the shelf. When the shelf is full of books, then the round is over. Oh - it's easy to get yourself into a corner by getting all vowels down at the lower half. You have to be careful. Some words you can use when that happens is YOU, VIA and KOI. That may get you out of the mess you get in. But Bookworm has a way for you to scramble all the tiles on the board. Just click on the Bookworm. But beware - when you do this those Red Fire Tiles will sppear!
This game is HIGHLY addictive. I've spent hours and hours playing it. A couple of years ago I bought the PDA version for my DELL AXIM - and that's when I got hooked. I didn't know they made a PC version until last year - then I had to buy it. I quickly rose in points to the highest levels - spent hours and hours on it - neglected my work - neglected my family - forgot to sleep - forgot to eat. All signs of an Addiction!!
I highly recommend this to anyone who likes word puzzle games. This is good for kids in school - it does expand their vocabulary (though some actual words are missing from its lexicon). And when I gave my elderly Mom a Notebook PC for Christmas - I included the Bookwork game that I purchased on Amazon. She loved it and also got hooked on it. She even gave it as gifts to her friends. She said it kept her mind sharp.
I do have one suggestion for the folks at POP-Cap - the makers of Bookworm Deluxe: This game should have a way to expand its lexicon of words. It should also include proper nouns. Like States and Names. That to me is a grave omission. If you want kids to learn - having States and their capitals - also Countries, included in its lexicon - would be an added benefit.
So, all in all, this is one terrific game - one that I highly - and I mean highly, recommend.
One last note - for those who've reached the highest levels of Bookworm - and love word puzzle games - there is a great game somewhat similar to Bookworm. It's called BIG KAHUNA WORDS. Go search for it on Amazon. It's very challenging, addictive and fun.
