About this game

Bookworm Classic is a strategic word-puzzle game that blends vocabulary building with thoughtful play. Connect adjacent letters to form words, clear the board, and earn points—the longer the word, the higher the score. Download and play free of charge.

KEY FEATURES
• Strategic word creation — Each word you submit is removed and replaced with new tiles, ensuring every letter tile is unique.
• Quick start, rewarding mastery — No registration required. Easy to learn, yet high scores reward skillful play.
• Varied tile dynamics — Six tile types (wood, fire, leaf, gold, sapphire, diamond) each introduce different strategies.
• Shuffle — Tap the Scramble icon to reshuffle the board whenever survival is still possible (this may create burning tiles).
• Bonus-word incentives — Completing the bonus word shown at the top grants extra points; consecutive bonus words increase the reward.
• Survival mechanic — Prevent burning tiles from reaching the bottom row to keep the game going.

Ratings and reviews

When I first started this game, I really enjoyed it. As I got further into it, I was finally getting the hang of finding words with more than 3 letters. But the red tiles kept showing up...more & more. The whole point of playing any game is to relax & enjoy, not to be continually stressed with your red tiles. I even took the time to write in & say so; & what happened? Even more red tiles! The game has lost its fun for me. Uninstalling. Tried again. It's worse!

Update- I love the game. However, I opened the game after, playing hundreds of levels and this time when I opened it, all the game totals were gone, I was back at the beginning with the smaller basic level. Not sure what happened Old Time favorite!!! I love the Bookworm game. It is a very relaxing yet strategic game . I love wordgames and thinking games. Bookworm have always been my number 1 favorite. I'd been wondering why it wasnt on googleplay and Im glad someone decided to add it. Thank you.

It's a pretty good match to the old computer game and it's pretty fun. It's also really, really, really annoying that i get an unskippable ad everytime i level up. And you level up a lot. It's like getting punished for being good at the game. I'm happy to watch ads for a reward but if the reward is "just being able to play the game" I'm gonna be mad about it
