Pros and cons of War of Words app for iPhone and iPad

War of Words app good for

For people who like games like Scrabble or Words with Friends, this game adds a strategic element that raises the bar! Being able to blow up your opponents letters (and points!), plant landmines, and combine word multipliers means that not only do you need to have a good vocabulary, you need to think ahead and play strategically. The game is really well done - great game play, great graphics, great features. Love it!

more fun and more strategy than any other word games. These latest updates fix the crashing problem I had on my iPod but I have to admit I played them anyway and put up with the crashing, because its so addictive! Thanks for the fix!!!

I have been playing War of Words for almost a year! Lots of boards to play! I never seem to be without new opponents to play with!

Some bad moments

This is, or was, one of my favourite games. However, the constant crashing is really starting to get on my nerves, especially the message insinuating that the problem could be my own Internet. No, it isnt. Its the game. Please fix this ASAP.

War of Words Classic is a great game, but Apocalypes is the best!

Best game ever! I live it, even though i dont always win. 

I really enjoy the game. Its fun to have some different options like blowing up letters and placing your own multiplier tiles. Its the game I play the most often!!

Much more engaging than WWF, with a ton of variety! Very well done, I like the special tiles and the way that can let a game swing wildly from move to move. Keeps you on your toes!

I love this game. My sister lives in Dallas and we play daily!
