Emailing "App of the Week: Paid- WordFu"
After playing the amazing Rolando (available
here), we were happy to give Ngmoco's new game, WordFu, a try, and it doesn't disappoint. Consider it Boggle with an edge. In this low-priced ($.99, available
here) game, you're first presented with 9 letters on dice. You can shake your iPhone to get all new letters or flick individual letters to change them. Decide quickly, because there's a time limit. When you're satisfied, hit Go to start a round.
You then play by tapping out as many words as possible with the letters you're given. You can use letters more than once, which helps. As you build bigger words and earn bigger scores, you're presented with power-ups, such as the ability to freeze the clock, and you can earn different colored belts as you advance. The app also lets you play head-to-head against other people.
WordFu is beautifully put together and is ideal as a small diversion for when you have a few minutes of free time. It must be one of the best games in the store for only $.99. If you enjoy word games, give it a try and start earning your belts.
