Bookworm Deluxe! review:5 stars (Bookworm Delux!) - Bookworm is a wonderful learning game. I learn a lot of new words every time I play. A great game for kids and adults. A worthy buy at a reasonable cost.5 stars (This game ROCKS! Loads of fun and you learn stuff too) - This game has Scrabble BEAT HOLLOW! I'm a grownup, but I wish this game was around when I was a kid, tween, or teen. I always found Scrabble (the non-computer version) frustrating, bcecause you only get so many letter squares and sometimes you can't make words with them, but BW, being a computer game, gives you as many squares as you need and you can ALWAYS make something! Plus, the BW defines some words. Love the sound effects and graphics, and trying to keep the "fire" squares from igniting the library. Recommended for ages 10-100+! Used to have download version til I had to do a clean installation of my OS due to viruses, adware, and spyware (Oh, my!) and was skittish about downloading games, so it is SO GREAT that Bookworm Deluxe can be obtained retail! Yes, I am addicted to it and find myself playing when I should be doing other things!5 stars (Great Fun - It's Addictive!) - I happened across this game through "Game Blast", an on-line game site, and after trying it through the 60 minute trial offer, I was hooked. Needless to say, I decided to purchase it, & then my entire family started playing. We all thoroughly enjoy playing bookworm!
Although we are all adults, my neice who is 14 also loves to play it whenever she comes for a visit. In fact, the first place she goes upon arriving is to the computer to play Book Worm. Because it's so educational - in terms of spelling and finding words - we are happy that she enjoys it so much!
The basic premise of "Book Worm" is that you have to find words within a grid, where each letter must touch the next (similar to scrabble or boggle). Each letter is given a certain # of points, and these points are added up for the words you choose.
You want to find longer/higher scoring words whenever possible, as if you choose too many low scoring words, a fire will start to "attack" the tiles, and if you don't use those firey tiles fast, they will quickly move to the bottom and then the board "explodes", and the game is over.
I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves playing scrabble & boggle, but who wants to find a game where they can play alone; as well as for children (probably at least 10yrs. old) who like, or need help with the subject of spelling. It will provide hours upon hours of fun & enjoyment for children & adults alike. Bookworm Deluxe!
