## What is Word Rummy?

In Word Rummy, your goal is to find seven-letter words hidden in a tableau of 52 letters.

Each letter represents a playing card, and the cards in the tableau are organized by suit (rows) and rank (columns). Words are made up of one sequence (consecutive letters of increasing value within the same suit) and one set (letters of the same rank in any order), one with three letters and the other with four.

A successful play scores points equal to the sum of the values of the cards in the word. Scoring 350 points will unlock the next hand, and you will earn chips for reaching 350 and 500 points and for finding all words in the hand.

The premise is simple, but the puzzles are not: this collection of challenging word searches with a twist will put both your observational skills and your vocabulary to the test.

### 3/5 — Tough Game

*2022-09-25*

I'm really trying here, and I like the concept, but this is a very tough game. It took me a while to understand the directions, because it's a little bit complex. And finding the words can be very frustrating. I've got 3 boards going, and I am struggling with all of them. 

I found the word typical on one board - typ (across) ical (down), and it wouldn't take it. I can't play this game for long periods of time, because it's too frustrating when I can't find any words. So I open the app, play for a short while, and then close the app and go away for a while. 

I've got some chips, but I can't use them to get hints, so I don't know what they are good for, and I'm not going to spend real money to get hints. I like the challenge and all, but it needs a bit more flexibility for people who only want to relax and have a bit of fun playing word games.

### 4/5 — Most challenging word game I play

*2019-11-24*

I would give this five stars except for one thing - you should get credit for words you find that aren't in the list. Maybe by earning extra hints? Other than that I love the game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-01-31*

This is a great tale on a even better idea.

### 5/5 — Original and challenging

*2018-01-06*

I adore word games. There are a myriad of games involving making words out of existing letters, word finds, etc. it is nice to see such an original concept manifesting in such a fun and challenging game. It builds off of the Rummy card game basics and combines it with word building. It is great for casuals and completionists alike. Find enough to move on to the next level or try to find all the words available. I highly recommend it!
