Word Wow - No Ad version in IOS

A workout for your brain!

Our Site Score

78/100

Word Wow is a fun, lighthearted take on the word-puzzle genre. The goal of clearing a path for the worm by finding words is much more engaging than a standard crossword or Scrabble clone. The pressure of the 'worm' reaching the bottom adds a nice level of urgency that makes you think on your feet. It’s the kind of game that’s easy to pick up for five minutes but has enough levels to keep you busy for weeks.

This 'No Ad' version is definitely the way to go, as it keeps the flow of the game intact without interruptions. The graphics are simple and charming, and the difficulty curve is well-balanced. It’s particularly great for kids or casual players who want to sharpen their vocabulary while having a little bit of arcade-style fun. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it’s a solid, polished entry in the word game category.

Word Wow is the digital equivalent of a newspaper crossword. It’s harmless, functional, and deeply repetitive. The core loop of building words to move a worm downward is okay for a few levels, but it doesn't evolve in any meaningful way. It’s the kind of game you play while sitting in a doctor's waiting room because you forgot to bring a book.

I’m reviewing the 'No Ad' version, which is the only way this is even remotely tolerable. Still, the art style is very 'early 2010s mobile,' with goofy characters and bright, flat colors that feel a bit childish. If you’re a word game addict, you’ll find plenty of content here, but don't expect it to challenge your brain in any way other than simple anagram solving. It’s a very safe, very bland product.

    ***** (5/5) "Word Wow is an explosion of thought-provoking, perplexing, and thrilling fun for almost all ages." - AppAdvice

    Word Wow is a word game where you make words to dig deeper into the ground. As you dig down, Worm will follow until you can guide him to the bottom before time runs out. You need to be able to make words quickly to string together bonuses, as well as just to clear the path.

    If you find Worm to be stuck and you can't come up with any words, you can use a bomb to clear some of the tiles. You have a limited number of bombs, but you can earn more as you make more words. As Worm moves down the board, more letters become available.

    Some levels have a hidden gem behind one of the tiles, and if you can find all the gems in all the levels of a world, a bonus level is opened where you can really rack up the points!

    The bigger the words that you can make the more points you'll earn. Try and make enough points each level to earn all three stars.

    Word Wow will sharpen your brain as well as your reflexes. Help a worm out!

    Features:

    * Fast action

    * 1700+ Levels and 54 distinct worlds

    * Bonus level for each Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Amethyst and Quartz world

    * Lots of replay value as you try to compete with others in Game Center
