About this game

Word Shaker is a word searching game with a twist: words don't have to be in a straight line. Your goal is to earn the most points by finding words in a grid. Each letter has a particular point value, and you earn bonuses by forming longer words. If you enjoy word games like Scrabble and Boggle you'll love Word Shaker.

If you get stuck, just shake your device to scramble the letters!

Online leaderboards, compete with friends and people around the world.

★ 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes timed games

This formerly awesome game is now unplayable due to the new hyper aggressive ads. I don't know what this game developer is thinking, but they have ruined this game by allowing overpowering ads. Fixed: Since my earlier review, the developer has fixed the ad problem and now the game is excellent again. :) HOWEVER, I have noticed that the game is not consistent in which words it accepts as actual words.

Thanks for updating your review, we’re glad the ad issue is still resolved. You’re right that the word list has had inconsistencies. We’ve been revising it extensively, and another update is coming with many corrections. We’ll keep reviewing the list afterward too. We really appreciate you sticking with us!

This is such a FUN game!! It's responsive, you can play almost as quickly as you think. Graphics are great, play options are great, dismissing the ads is quick & easy (I delete games that waste my life, try to trick me into clicking an ad, or try to squeeze money out of me). I've had this game for years! This game is perfect, lets me play & have fun, offers whichever kind of challeng I choose, & is just straight-forward good & fun! I appreciate these developers!

This absolutely made our day 😊 Hearing that Word Shaker feels fast, fun, and easy to jump into after all these years means a lot. And we really appreciate the kind words about the gameplay, options, and ad experience too.

Ok game to pass time. It's tricky selecting words because the letters stick when you're trying to select words and it goes on the wrong letters making it harder to score. Also, how does the leader board work? I see the same names over and over and hardly see any new ones. Also, the scores for 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 8x8 should be in different categories for scoring. Instead they're all grouped together.
