How important is facebook connectivity to you? Scrabble has multiplayer and stats posting over facebook.
I like Scrabble a bit more. Bookworm has an interesting twist on the word formula, but one thing that stopped me from playing too much, was that it didn't recognize some simple four letter words. I've never had this issue with Scrabble. Plus, the Facebook thing makes it more of a win for me.
Since PopCap put Peggle on sale for 99 cents I wouldn't be shocked if they do the same for Bookworm eventually. Just a thought!
i like both, but i prefer bookworm! i find myself playing it in the middle of the night when i'd be better off to bed
Scrabble is classic, though the iDevice interface felt awkward to me. Bookworm is alright, but the format seems too rigid and restricting for my liking. WordJong is my choice game. Play at your own pace. Meet the daily challenge or challenge yourself to top your best. The choices you make early in the game affect the choices you will have later on. Speaking of choices, there are seemingly endless moves. It is just a really great concept.
Scrabble is very very well done. I have really no notable problems with it at all. And you can practice your other languages too (I have the international version) which makes the high price justifiable in IMO. It's smooth, nicely presented and very faithful to the board game we all know and love. Bookworm suffers from lag during the timed mode, so much so that it is rendered unplayable for me (1G Touch). Also, the shake to shuffle feature is unresponsive to the point of frustration, which is again critical to good game play in timed mode. As timed mode is the only reason I play Bookworm, both these problems are dissapointing for me, and I somehow don't get the feeling that Popcap will be addressing these issues in the near future. Hope I'm proved wrong. So, Scrabble is, for the reasons mentioned above, my choice. EDIT: If you like good, no frills word games, I also highly recommend [app]Wordabble[/app]. There is a daily puzzle of the day, and if you enter, you have until midnight to find as many words as possible, and submit your results to find out how well you did against others. It has no fancy graphics or cute characters, but if that isn't a high priority, take a look.
WordsWorth offers the same amount of fun that BookWorm does for a lot less price. Its just $0.99. Great for people who want to enjoy a No Frills Word game on a long commute or just relax in between work for a quick game. It offers a lot of extra features as well. For example, there are 3 different word lists to choose from. So you can choose the one you are most comfortable with. Also the latest update allows you to publish your scores on Twitter and FaceBook. You can try out the 'Free' Lite version of the game which has the basic levels if you're not sure..but I can guarantee you that this is one App that will keep you coming back to it!
Almost 100,000 words . Only reason it's not 100% is because of this bug:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlAQ_KBr56c Ha, in the video you can see the stats were at 20,000 at the time lol. And the solution to that bug is the game already thinks I spelled gold as a color and it won't register as a mineral
Bookworm is pretty dang good. Its more of a game you play vs yourself instead of vs a computer like Scrabble. Really just depends on what kind of gameplay you're looking for. I have both and I would get Bookworm unless you plan to play vs other people, thats where Scrabble shines.
Gonna have to say Bookworm. Just a clever interface and seems a bit more "fun" overall. Scrabble is something I'd like to have actual people involved with... more of a face-to-face, social game. Fun words get spelled, people laugh, etc. Where as Bookworm has a great casual/iphone styled interface. Just my 2 cents .
