This game will give you hours of fun. It is challenging and passes the time away. You are playing it for the longest time before you even realize all this time has passed. I recommend it highly for any age. The "Action Game" choice will drive you crazy trying to get the words before the red tiles appear! But crazy in a good way! A fun way!

CD was in excellent condition. This game reminds me of scrabble, which I like to play, also.

This game is a lot of fun. It runs a little strange with Vista but what doesn't. Works better with Windows XP.

I first purchased Bookworm for myself and spend a few minutes on it almost every day. You link letters together to spell words and get points based on the difficulty of the word. This type of game is supposed to be good for those of us "of a certain age". However, my latest purchase of Bookworm was for my 8-year-old granddaughter who started playing it at my house. It's a great game for kids that enhances their spelling abilities and is fun. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Highly Addictive and Fun

I love this game and it's very addictive. This is great for those of us who don't want to think as hard as the people who do crossword puzzles (or who aren't as good at them and get frustrated). I do like games like Scrabble too. But this has really captured my fancy and I can sit and play for hours without getting bored. I recommend it as long as you have time for it.

Fun on Bookworm Deluxe

This game is very "using your brain oriented". Very mind challenging.
Lots of fun trying to make the best word out of the surrounding letters.
Definitely nerve racking when the burning letters come up. I highly recommend this game. All of my family have this game.

When you first start, this game can be very addictive especially in the Action Game (timed). However, if you're a real word fanatic, after several weeks you'll notice that some of the accepted words are not real words. They don't exist in even the Oxford Dictionary, while others are not only arcane, but are from or in Old High German or Scottish, and I even found one that was Icelandic.

While I'm not that much of a purist, you can rack up 7 million points based upon words that won't even come up in the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle! (By the way, the maximum score according to the folks at PopGames is 3 billion. You can't do that in the timed mode without getting into everything from slang to abbreviations to a great deal of luck.)

Bookworm Deluxe is still fun, but I do wish they had gone "legit" (which is a word according to the makers, but an abbreviated one or slang according to everyone else. Still, it would make a great gift for that someone who loves screwing around with words.

This game kinda keeps my mind challenged. I play a bit of scrabble and it helps with that. I like that they give you challenge words to make and that there are a lot of new words I've learned. No game is perfect, some words it doesn't accept. It does stop "bad" words and it is very easy to catch on. Great for 8+ and a good one to play while someone on the phone has put you on hold. Speakerphone & Bookworm deluxe make a good combo :)I've seen whole families play and the best word I witnessed was reunited.

Its OK for adults...

WORD-RECOGNITION FUN!!

This is a excellent educational tool for preschoolers and adults wishing to hone their vocabulary - and a great TV-alternative.

Words have to be recognized and formed from a wall of letters that get refreshed as you progress. Target-words offer extra points whereas, repeatedly forming easy small words is "punished" with the appearance of burning letter-tiles that, if let to reach the bottom, end the game.

This is a perfect example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming. It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.

Anybody can make a good game that will run only on a super-computer. This is an example of pure programming genius!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
