Bookworm Deluxe is another game this overgrown kid, word lover, game fiend, and writer highly recommends (having turned readers like you on to Carmen Sandiego games, word scramble games, and many other free or very inexpensive online community games. Bookworm Deluxe can be played online as well, or you can download a trial version then?when you get hooked?can pay under twenty bucks for the full, limitless play experience.
Bookworm Deluxe is a combination word scramble game and Scrabble-type game, with enhanced features. The ?board? is upright and facing you, with a massive set of letters on tiles. You click on connected letters to make a word, which, when complete, is swooshed off the board and into the mouth of the waiting bookworm, and the board readjusts, the gap closing and new letters dropping in from the top?to keep the board constantly full. When you create huge words, some of the newly appearing letters or the already existing ones become lighted blue or green, and having an increased point value. When the ?hungry? bookworm is full, the set is complete and you are upgraded, given a higher position in the library or bibliophile?s world.
The biggest challenge to Bookworm Deluxe? In the same manner in which you get rewarded for building large words, you get threatened for making teeny ones: when, say, you make a three-letter word, it disappears into the bookworm?s mouth, but the replacing tiles falling in from the top now come in glowing. This means that they are flammable, and as they fall, they get hotter and hotter. If they touch the bottom row of the Bookworm Deluxe board, the whole board bursts into a terrible inferno, leaving a pile of grey ash and, of course, ending your Bookworm Deluxe game.
Bookworm Deluxe is not only ideal for word lovers, but is animated, audio enhanced, and fast-paced enough that it will make most players obsessed, or, as gaming language goes, addicted. When I first downloaded the free trial, I thought the juvenile graphics implied a very easy?too easy?gaming experience. But when my hour of free play was up and I found myself jonesing for more Bookworm Deluxe, I realized that the simplicity of appearance is deceptive. I bought the game and played non-stop for ten hours. I had to reach the highest rank possible and reach my personal best with Bookworm Deluxe, which does, as many will rationalize if they have no business playing for so damned long, build vocabulary and increase other word-playing game skills. If you believe that, anyway. Whatever, the game rocks!!
