I play it on yahoo games but you can buy the game also. It’s rather addictive so I try to limit my play. Any other fans? I think a version of this on a Nintendo DS would equal no boredom for me ever again. ---

Actually, what I liked was Bookworm Adventures… That killed a good couple of weeks, really. ---

I _loves_ me some Bookworm! Love the sound effects! Haven’t played it in awhile, tho’… Guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow on my day off! Every time I try to get out, they pull me BACK IN!!! ---

My friends work at popcap games and gave me a stuffed toy of the bookworm. I display it with pride. 🙂 ---

I like Bookworm. Except I get _so close_ to a really good word, and sometimes go down in flames trying to protect my letters waiting for the last one to fall into place. I noticed that a few ‘four-letter’ words are unacceptable–I end up making “aunt”. 🙂 ---

Meh… I’d like 1000% more credit for when I successfully execute a stategy that lets me claim an 11-letter word, or even 8-letter word. Reward me dammit. Don’t make it score better to snag every 3 or 4 letter word I can come up with I’d like to disable all the special words, hi-score blue letters, and other distractions. Just let me build words. The expensive “roll-the-dice” option should do more than it does: let me kill the bottom two rows, not just randomly rearrange the map.
