Product Description

Can you become a Word Master? This fun app challenges your word-building skills in a fast-paced game for Android. Play with friends and beat the top scores. Test your limits by keeping the letters alive and reach the top levels. Gain achievements for different word-building categories. Word Ball will make you a "Word Master" in no time! Are you ready?

Test your wordsmith skills

Brain-teasing Fun

Word Ball provides a fun brain-training exercise by making you focus and think on your feet while building words as quickly as possible. By concentrating on the letters as they shrink and bounce, the game allows your cognitive senses to react in a manner that reinforces word and pattern recognition. The game features high-resolution display graphics and includes an extensive dictionary with 175,000+ words, as well as an in-game word list.

Think fast and stay on your toes

How to Play

Your aim in Word Ball is to build words with the letters you're given. As you play, the letters will bounce around the screen and shrink, making it more challenging as time goes on. In Classic Mode, you're presented with 26 letters, and the game progresses at a normal pace. In Frenzy Mode, the letters shrink faster. Select Sprint Mode for a different challenge where you will create words out of nine letters for each level.

Points vary by letter and word length. The app's settings let you turn sounds and music on or off and will show or hide game tips as you play.

Achievements and Medals

If you are a true wordsmith, you can kick the game into high gear and collect all of the Word Ball medals. You will receive medals for awesome plays (like making at least 25 six-letter words or 15 eight-letter words in one game). Brag about your skills on Facebook and Twitter, and climb the OpenFeint leaderboards. Note that the Leaderboards only apply to Classic Mode. There's also a detailed breakdown of your statistics and score history.

Words for nerds . . . like me. January 13, 2012

By J. Depp

Great educational experience for those looking to exercise their brain. I wish there were more intelligent games like this on the market.
Could do without Open Feint though. Open Feint just slows the experience down, and it demeans you for refusing to use it. In my opinion, this game would be much more awesome without it.

i dont get it January 13, 2012

By Gino Lee

Amazon Verified Purchase

technically, it seems fairly well done. but it seems a pointless for the balls to move around and shrink. Using a cooking analogy, the "flavors" just don't mix in a harmonious or complementary manner. It doesn't make the game more fun or enjoyable -- indeed, it makes it irritating enough to uninstall..

eh January 13, 2012

I like word building games but found the ball shrinkage and movement more of an annoyance than a challenge. I tried for a bit but quickly uninstalled, as there are better ways to kill time.

Must have

If you like word games you will enjoy this game. This is an undwind app. You will include this in your favorites.

It makes me a little nervous. LOL

it is a fun game and requires a lot of concentration and nimble fingers. The balls moving around all the time is kind of nerve wracking. But I think that is the point. Read more

Very Creative Game

Word Ball is a great way to help little kids learn to spell. Give your kids a list of words and watch them spell out.

It's ok

I think I would've been more disappointed if I had paid for this game. However, since it was free, I shouldn't complain too much! I like word games and this one is just ok. Read more

not for all devices

Installed fine but wouldn't run on an LG Optimus S, and given the simple nature of the game mechanics, there's no programming excuse for that. Read more

good enough for a free app

got it as a daily free app. probably would not try it otherwise. good enough to play, however nothing new compared to other word games.

Ran well on Kindle fire

This game ran smoothly on my kindle fire and was fast paced so it required fast fingers as well as a fast mind. It isn't my favorite as I prefer untimed word games but it is fun.

Requires an OpenFeint Account

Requires an OpenFeint account. I don't mind when some portions of the game are optional based on a web service, but don't make unnecessary requirements. Uninstalled.
