## What is Coolson’s Pocket Pack?

“Coolson’s Pocket Pack”, the tasty word game that fits in your pocket, is back - old and unimproved - for its 10th anniversary! It’s free!

From the penguin who brought you the award-winning “Coolson’s Artisanal Chocolate Alphabet”, “Coolson’s Pocket Pack” is a fast-paced, whimsical word game.

Coolson’s signature chocolate letters are dropped into the top of the packing stage one by one. Your job is to take them out of the bottom and pack them into words. Work faster than they drop in, though, because the game ends when chocolates spill over the top! Rack up the points by making chains: two or more words in a row without recycling any letters. It’s a game of spelling, speed, strategy and nerve.

Compete against your friends on Game Center for the title of Employee of the Week!

## Key features

- Fast-paced word packing gameplay

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2025-04-08, version 2.0.2*

This app deserves 10 stars. I love the art style, fun yet sophisticated. It’s easy to learn. And it’s as smooth as can be. 

I’m glad it’s free with no ads. I happily would have paid a few dollars to support the developer. It’s also great on battery and storage. 

This is perfect when you have a minute or so to spare and want something thinky but fast and active like an arcade game. You do have to move fast to keep letters from piling up while trying to spot letters you can quickly get to the bottom and use. Just right for a short spurt here and there throughout your day. 

I highly recommend it. Thank you developer! If you add a tip jar I’ll happily tip you!

### 5/5 — Fun Simple

*2015-09-06, version 1.0.1*

Cool the way you can put letters back on top of short columns to extend game play. Keeps me on my toes; quick thinking required as it gets more difficult.

### 5/5 — Challenging Fun

*2015-04-05, version 1.0.1*

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game!

### 5/5 — Sustained challenge

*2015-02-21*

Good exercise for mental alertness in short bursts.

### 3/5 — Fun, hard

*2014-09-01, version 1.0.1*

This game's randomizer needs work. The letters pile up one after the other in the same row. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — This game is frustratingly fun.

*2014-07-23, version 1.0.1*

I really need to be a better speller to play this game.
