Is that long, dreary commute to work getting you down every day? Have you got a long-haul flight coming up? Or do you simply just love word games? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Hooked On Words is for you. Even if there was a ‘no’ in there, download this app anyway: it’s brilliant.
Offering single player, multiplayer and the chance to share your high scores on Facebook and Twitter, this app can be used a social tool to show your friends how clever you really are. You can even challenge yourself against the clock; give yourself two minutes to smash that high score!
This app not only challenges your creativity skills, your intelligence and your finger reactions, it offers a shedload of entertainment for all. Now, I know that’s what teachers used to say to you in school as they revealed the extended version of ‘Moby Dick’, but this app is actually a lot of fun.
Speaking of extended versions, Hooked on Words has just received a major refresh. The new update features enhanced visuals, an all-new single player extended mode and many other enhancements ensuring that it is still one of the App Store’s most comprehensive word games. The aim of the game is to get as many words as possible on your scoreboard by swiping your thumb across the letters that form the words; depending on what mode you’re playing, letter tiles will either disappear, stay the same or be replaced with new ones.
After launching just two years ago and receiving nearly two million downloads and counting, the developers must be doing something right! Hooked on Words offers stimulation for the mind and that great satisfactory feeling when you find that cherished nine-letter word. (N.B. I have not harpooned this elusive goal…yet.)
So why not see what all the fuss is about and download this app for free now? You’ll be hooked in no time.
