About this game

Bookworm Classic is a strategic word puzzle game where you connect adjacent letters to form words, clear tiles, and earn points. Longer words can help, but targeting the bonus word is the best way to reach higher scores.

Challenge yourself to keep the board under control and survive as long as possible.

KEY FEATURES

• Strategic word building — Connect adjacent letters to create words and clear tiles from the board.

• Bonus word rewards — Complete the bonus word shown at the top to earn higher scores. Consecutive bonus words increase your rewards even more.

• Six tile types — Wood, fire, leaf, gold, sapphire, and diamond tiles add variety and strategy to each game.

• Scramble option — Use the Scramble button to reshuffle the board when needed, but be careful because it may create burning tiles.

• Survival challenge — Keep burning tiles from reaching the bottom row to stay in the game.

• Easy to start — No registration required. Just open the game and play.

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

5 stars - This is my all-time favorite game, and though it's not the original, it's a great game. Graphics could maybe be better. They are a little plain. It still gets 5 stars. That was in 2020. Now.. 4/25/2024 - 3 stars - Well, it's almost 5 years later, and the game got to acting screwy. Long story short, I now have the New-Classic Bookworm. I don't like it. The board is smaller, it's a lighter color, the letters move in slow motion, but the fire tiles burn much faster. 👎

Really enjoying this game. I don't mind the ads, even downloaded a couple games to try. The game takes you up level by level, throwing in golden, green, or fire tiles. Gold and green are extra points.Fire tiles have to be used or you burn your game and start back at level 1. You control how far you can go. So far, I've gotten almost to level 70 before being burned. Longest word for me has been 8 letters. 3 letter bonus words are extra points when to get them. Relaxing game.
