About this game

Note: Dropwords 2 is a rewrite of my old Dropwords game. It includes the same play style and game modes, but has some technical improvements, including running more smoothly on modern devices, using much less battery power, and more graceful handling of different screen sizes!


Dropwords 2 is word-finding puzzle. Valid words boost your score and the dwindling timer; used letters disappear and new ones drop from above.

The game includes six game modes: Normal, Hard, Lightning, Blocker, Relax and Untimed. Whether you just want to relax, or are looking for something challenging, there's a game mode that will suit you.

The game offers three dictionaries:
1. A SOWPODs word game competition list, containing 114575 2-to-8-letter words, including plurals (but not proper nouns).
2. A word list based on the Webster's New International Dictionary, 2nd Edition, this contains 120127 2-to-9-letter words. Includes some proper nouns, but not plurals.
3. Both! The combination of the two; the game uses this option by default.

You can switch dictionary via the game's Options dialog.

Have fun!

Coming soon:
1. More visual themes.
2. "Bomb drop" game mode.

Ratings and reviews

I love this game! It can be as easy or as difficult as you choose it to be. Sometimes I want a distraction so I play the Relaxed game yet most of the time I'm playing the Lightning game. I like the challenge of finding word with as many letters as I can. No hiccups whatsoever, no ads (which I appreciate), and it has a beautiful layout. I'm addicted to Dropwords!

I like the game. One issue is that when sounds are muted, ads at the end of the game pop up with sound on. This can cause a major issue if I need ALL sounds to be muted. I'm fine with ads, but mute should mean for ALL sounds. Sometimes the game plateaus for too long and you can't get on the scoreboard, but overall, this is a great have. I like being able to add words, I like the challenge and relaxation of the game and the different models available. Just please mute the ads!

I played the original version very frequently. I do not like the visuals of version II. My scores have dropped and I can't really tell if the game has gotten a bit more difficult or it is just harder to spot words with the new graphics. Play only rarely now, really miss tbe old version. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
