This is my favorite game to relax with after work. I would say it is the game I play most often - and depending on my mood - depends on which game in the game I play. Wordox definately rocks when you want a challenge. Word Yacht though is my favorite.
If you like word games at all - Hoyle is the best. I have tried others and found them lacking in gaming ability or ease to use. Hoyle is #1 in my book.

The Ultimate Game to Play

I travel every week, and saw someone playing scrabble on the plane the other day. When I looked into purchasing the scrabble software, I was sad to know that it wouldn't work with my version of Word.
This game by Hoyle, however, works on almost all computer platforms, and it is sooooo much fun! The characters are quirky and the skill levels are great. Better yet, you get more than just wordox (the scrabble look-a-like). I agree with another review, the yacht (short for "yahtzee") is also a great game.
I'm not as sure of the crossword puzzles, I'm not a huge crossword puzzle fan, but every game I've played so far I've become addicted to!
As far as the software, it would be nice if someone could add words to the dictionary of "valid" answers. For example, zen and chai are not valid words. But I don't think this detracts from the game that much.
Have fun!

Good Fun!

I found these games to be addicting!!My favorite is doublecross but I pretty much like them all.Hangman is another of my favorites.I love it when the characters talk..Sometimes they make me mad(smile)I could sit and play the games for hours..At first when a 10 yr. old wanted me to play with them,I thought they were kids games..I had a great time,now she can't get me away fr om her game..I advise everyone who wants to have fun alone or with other player to get this one.

I have all of the Hoyle games and this one is my favorite. I can't sit down and play just one game I have to play them all. My favorite is Word Yaht You will not regret adding this game to your collection.

Put away Scrabble!

Here comes a collection of nostalgic addicting puzzles that will "Boggle" your mind. Similar to many popular board games, it's all that and more, with quirky characters that say too much at the wrong time. For one or more players, I think it's a family oriented game as well as a "keep you up all night until you win" challenge. I can't wait for the next collection from Hoyle!

Anagrams, Hangman, Word Yacht, and Much More!

This is really a terrific game! There are many different games, some that I had never even heard of before! But thanks to Hoyle's rule page, I know all the games as if I was born knowing them! The facemaker works really well, and is easy to use. I also like the fact that more than one person can be playing in one game. I give this a thumbs up!

Great for word buffs

I love this game. No, I mean I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I own the other Hoyle games and find the charaters interetsing. Anagrams are probably my favorite just because of the talking skull heads who interject with things like "Try beernut" or "you got a pentium in here?"

If words are your passion...

You have found the right game! This CD-Rom is so much fun! The games keep you glued to your computer. There is something for everyone in this compilation. I dare you to not like at least *one*.

The Hoyle Word Game 2002 is fun to play. I play often with my 10 year old son. We have all of the Hoyle games and enjoy them all.
