5.0 out of 5 stars makes Wordtris look like "chump"tris, December 18, 2003
This review is from: Text Twist / What Word (Mac) (CD-ROM)
What Word looks a bit like boggle, but don't shake the monitor. :-)

You're given a board of 5 rows by 5 columns - 25 letters. Some letters have a brighter glow, making them worth more points - this is a random occurance. On the right panel is a list of words and their point values, below that are the words you must complete before you run out of turns (depending on the number of letters you've used) and below that is a super "what" word that can only be completed by making words with special orange tiles.

Challenging and addictive!

Text Twist is almost like Hangman on steroids. You're given jumbled letters and you try to get as many words as you can. You can click a button to randomly shuffle your letters over and over again to re-order them to see if it stimulates your brain into spotting new words. You can play an untimed mode in which you have to find all possible words, or a timed mode in which you have to find the longest word to survive, and all other words are bonus points.

You can use your mouse, but an easier method is to just type out the word and hit enter. Easy and fun - and a great way to speed up your typing skills!

If you played Wordtris before, but got bored - this is the next level and you won't get burned out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Word Games? This one is great!, June 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Text Twist / What Word (Mac) (CD-ROM)
This is a great package - two fun word games! You can challenge your mind by looking for words -- or you can REALLY challenge your mind and play with a timer! Either way, it is fun, and you can make excuses that it is also educational. What more do you want?

This review is from: Text Twist / What Word (Mac) (CD-ROM)
Very fun and challenging. Can be Addicitive and waste a lot of time! Uses your brain though so that makes it a good excuse when you get lost in it.

I should have seen that word, is a common phrase when text twist reveals all of the words that can be made from the letters. Fun and challenging if you do the timed version. Interactive not passive, and it helps if you have someone looking over your shoulder to suggest words now and then, LOL.
