My husband got me this game for christmas. I had asked for marjong qwest and he bought this one by accident. At first I was disappointed not to get the game I had wanted but this game turned out to be a plesant surprise.
My favorite GBA game was scrabble blast and now I like this game even better because of the better 2 player options.
The best part is being able to play against others. It is neat to be able to challenge my son on his ds, even if he is in another room. I was very surprised when i was on a recent 5 hour car drive that my 60 year old mother would not put this game down. My mom would never use any sort of gameboy before. I showed her the game and she loves crossword puzzles and scrabble so she was hooked quickly. Because of the great Ds battery life we had a 3 hour challenge going. Now my mom wants a DS!

I wish more players would come on the WIFI. I rarely find anyone else to play against except local download.

I recommend this game. It has been fun for my family from ages 9-60! and it has become a great tool for spelling for my younger children.

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.

Just like playing Daily Scrabble game!

I really like this Word Jong game. At first glance I thought it would be like Mah Jong but was glad it wasn't. The tiles are like Mah Jong but you make words out of the letters that are available on top of the tiles.

It is really alot of fun! My favorite part is the daily calendar Word Jong. A puzzle for each day! So far I have solved the whole month of February! You can go back to previous month if you want.

Great word game if you are into forming words on what is available to you or if you like spelling as well!

lots of fun!

It's very similar to the Pogo version of WordJong, which is one of the reasons I wanted it. Temple Challenge gives you the opportunity to earn bronze medals, similar to the ranks on pogo. You earn 1 wild card, extra coins for longer words and they have green multiplier tiles. They also have a daily puzzle where you have the opportunity to beat the high score of the day. I like playing the battle mode under single player. Each game has two rounds and for every game you win, you earn coins. The more coins you earn, the harder the opponents are that you can unlock.

Overall, I really enjoy playing the game. If you like playing the pogo version, you'll like playing this one.

I would compare this game to a Scrabble type game. It's challenging and shows me that I need to brush up on how many words I know, since I seem to only come up with short words. (lol) So far I really like it and it's something you can play for short periods of time. You don't need to have an hour or two set aside for it.

One of My Favorites

Fun and addictive to play, soothing sound effects, no complaints. My friend is ordering one; it is a must have. It's like Scrabble, only 100 times more cool.

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.

A fun word game

I am 66 years old and purchased a nintendo DS for myself at Christmas. I purchased the game Word Jong and have enjoyed it very much. My son, in his 40's, also stated it was hard to put it down. My granddaughter, who is 8, loves using it and I purchased another one for her use. I think with all the texting being done today that children have lost the capacity to learn to spell words correctly. I believe this game is a challange to any age and will be a tremendous help to children learning to spell words. Thank you for providing this game and I hope you can come up with more of these learning types of games.

Awesome word puzzles!

I was looking for a nice puzzle game for my DS and bought this based on great reviews. I was not disapppointed. I got hooked on the game right away. This game is highly addictive and has good graphics & sound.
The multi player mode is a lot of fun and that alone is worth the [...] for the game. The battle mode is pretty good but the early stages are pretty easy for an adult.

One useful enhancement that I would like to see is a dictionary/thesaurus option. If you like to play scrabble, this game is a blast. Even otherwise, if you like puzzle games and would like to sharpen your vocabulary, this is a great buy.

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.
