I LOVE this game, however i am in process of returning the second one. Both froze at a certain level, no way to progress, and finally totally froze. Tried in another nintendo gameset, and did the same thing after clearing the chip. Soooo maybe just a bad group, but am not replacing it. Amazon has been wonderful about the thing though. Too bad, a truly good game, addicting.
Okay game

I purchased this game because I'm a big fan of crosswords and other word games. While the gameplay is simple to follow, it quickly becomes repetitive. If you don't mind a game that doesn't advance to much more complex levels (essentially solving the same puzzles with different letters on each different game), this is for you.
It's a good game for a casual player, but not for someone who's looking for an in-depth gaming experience.

A great game for the spelling challenged. My son kind of stole this from me, he was amazed how much it has helped his spelling besides being fun. Myself, I wish they had more than one free tile. Still a fun game.
Almost like BookWorm

This game is a lot like Bookworm that you can play on your PC, but not quite as challenging as the letter area is not as big, and there are no "burning" letters. It could be a bit more challenging, with more letter space like on the PC version, but it's a lot of fun.
fun word game, but too easy over all

I've played this for at least 20 hours so it was worth every penny. But it has to be said the game offers wayyy too many vowels and "easy" consonants like s and t, so it is REALLY easy to make 5 letter or larger words. And you can score with 2 letter words which also makes the game too easy. There is a daily puzzle mode which offers a decent challenge but over all, the game could have offered a few difficulty options to cater to someone who wants a harder challenge.
Fantastic Word Game

This is a wonderful game for the DS. I have been waiting and waiting for Bookworm to enter the market for DS so that we would have a challenging word game but low and behold WordJong came along first. It is very challenging and wonderful. The only drawback that I have found is in the challenges against the game itself you do see some foreign words every now and again but that happens very seldom. I am still hoping that Bookworm enters the realm of DS.
Good Challenge!

I purchased this game to add to my DS collection of games and I love it. I like that it has a daily challenge mode that you can go back and play to improve your score. My husband tried it out and he was hooked on trying to beat the daily challenge scores. It is alot of fun and a good challenge as some of the selections you get are very hard to make words from.
I wish it had the capability to hold more than one profile though so my husband and I could play the temple challenge separately. Looks like I might have to get him his own DS!

Excellent word game for the Nintendo DS. Many hours of addictive fun.
Only negative is that you must use up every single letter to end each game. There should be a way to end the game with a few letters remaining, by paying a penalty (reducing point score). Otherwise, a totally enjoying and addictive word game.
Great fun!

My husband bought me this game as my first DS game. What a great choice! It's fairly simple to learn the basics but a challenge to "win." I've been able to complete the games but only occasionally beat the games "high score" for the daily games. I admit I haven't tried most of them more than once but with a new puzzle for each day, I wish I had more time to play.
Adiction at it's best

This is a great game for those who love word puzzles. It is very addicting. If you like scrabble blast or games like it, you will love this.
I only give it 4 stars because I think it could have more. It could offer more puzzles.
