I've had this game on my iphone for the better part of a year, and, IMO, it's one of the best word games available on ios. It conbines a Risk-like conquering element with traditional anagram solving, and throws in a lot of neat tricks along the way. Only 2 problems: no multiplayer, and the dictionary used is somewhat ridiculous in scope (supposedly it's the Scrabble dictionary) and the A.I. Isn't afraid to use it. There are also new puzzles each day.

Seriously though, this game is ranked 4th on my ios word game list, after Puzzlejuice, Befuddled, and Spelltower. pluto6 Well-Known Member Jun 21, 2009 5,837 3 38 Military #4 pluto6, Nov 14, 2012 Great find! I agree one of the best word games out there. A must when it's free. SSquared Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 1,030 0 0 Software Developer Pacific Northwest #5 SSquared, Nov 14, 2012 Wow. I don't recall hearing about this game before. Thanks for the post. Looks like something I might enjoy. Darth Ronfar Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 1,061 0 0 Animal related LA #6 Darth Ronfar, Nov 14, 2012 With how great this game is and all I just can't understand the lack of an attempt to add wifi multiplayer. This is one of those games that feels like it's meant to have it. I don't understand? Maybe they haven't made enough money or they've moved on or stopped? That would suck though. I think if quarrel DX had online MP it would be selling a ton more.. CygnetSeven Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2010 7,586 30 48 #7 CygnetSeven, Nov 14, 2012 ^^^this. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #8 Greyskull, Nov 14, 2012 I know...when I bought it, I figured it would have multiplayer. The only reason I can see it not having MP is that, in the case of a tie word score, the faster player wins, and it sometimes comes down too less than a second. It would otherwise be a perfect MP game, given the territory-conquering elements. I found the game by some how dl'ing the free "Quarrel" version. It was fun enough to get me to buy the Deluxe version. So, make sure you get Deluxe and not plain ol' Quarrel which is, in essence, a trial. It also might not be well known because the publisher/developer is IndiaGames. Never heard of them otherwise. Though their games have been free, one at a time, all week. I've got 3 Cricket games now! If only I knew what a sticky wicket was Coldar Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2008 2,458 5 38 Upstate NY/USA #9 Coldar, Nov 14, 2012 Hmm yea, heard of the game before and good things about it. Will be downloading it later tonight. Making sure it will be the deluxe version also. Appreciate the post on it. drach Well-Known Member Jan 4, 2009 515 0 16 #10 drach, Nov 14, 2012 My kids and I love this game. If you love word games, you won't go wrong downloading this gem.

SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #12 SpikeGuy, Nov 14, 2012 I'm like you. I've had this Game on my phone forever. I keep waiting for them to add multiplayer but sadly that hasn't happened yet. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #13 Connector, Nov 14, 2012 Pretty cool game. Kind of a cross between risk and a word game. Usually I don't like word games but this one kind of feels like a wargame so that is cool. Highly recommended! Phoenix24 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 7, 2012 313 0 0 Lancashire, England #14 Phoenix24, Nov 14, 2012 This^^ Couldn't sum it up better. My favourite iOS word game by far. SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #15 SpikeGuy, Nov 14, 2012 This article with the devs frustrated me. "People are so attuned to being able to play word games in multiplayer, I think people expected it to be there. However, there's a couple of things that make it less straight-forwards than perhaps people have thought about.

Uh, quite often.

But no MP .....deleted drelbs Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2009 11,200 7 38 #18 drelbs, Nov 14, 2012 Still one of my favorite iOS games! And... they're wrong on the multiplayer, my wife and I would love to be able to sit on the couch and play this! awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #19 awp69, Nov 14, 2012 I agree. This game lends itself to multiplayer. Even wait-a-turn gameplay like Words With Friends would work fine. That said, I like it too much to delete it just because it doesn't have MP.
