For word nerds of all ages!
The premise of Bookworm is simple: create words of at least three letters out of a board of letter-tiles. Sometimes a "burning" tile enters the board when you create a word (the longer the words you create, the less likely this is), and you have to use it up before it reaches the bottom of the board or the entire library will burn down. If you run out of good options you can click on the bookworm to scramble the tiles, but this brings more burning tiles onto the board. Unlike paper word puzzles of this type, you don't have to pick out letters that are all in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line; words can bend and swerve all over the place.^M
My 6 year old is addicted to this!!
My younger son (6 year old) is so addicted to this game that he likes playing the action version of this game. I was so surprised to see that a couple of months after he started, his level of score in the action version of the game has reached over 500,000 (yes, half a million!). I was totally stunned. He is able to learn new words with this game, remembers and searches for them at a very high speed in the action game. It is amazing to watch the little fingers chew away the red tiles with 4, 5, 6 letter words in succession.^M
Very addicting!
Very addictive. We put the disk in and it worked. No plugins needed. Win 98 is a good computer to use the disk. I heard some reports about Win XP. I like the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)"music". Very challenging. And action game isn't that bad after all. Try not to scramble though, but if you have to, you can. I highly recommend Bookworm Deluxe to people who are studying for the spelling bee, people who want to learn words, people who want a challenge, or people who just want plain addicting fun. Lex the bookworm sure is funny! This game is rated E for everyone (and eating words!). Don't listen to the people that say don't buy this product. Buy it now!
