## What is Word Waggle?

Word Waggle is the word game for enthusiasts who love to challenge their mind. Slide your finger across the 4x4 grid to form words with neighboring letters. Score as many points as possible in the allotted time period by choosing from a 1, 2, or 3 minute game. Scoring is determined by the number of words found, word length, and scoring style. 

Shake your device or use the rotate button to turn the grid to provide a different perspective.

Challenge yourself and friends with a personal leader board for each time category and scoring style.

Custom mode allows you to determine the grid you would like to use by selecting the letters manually. This mode can also be used as a boggle puzzle solver.

Choose between two scoring styles.
     Classic scoring: Points are awarded according to the length of the word found, with three and four letter words worth 1 point, five letter words worth 2 points...etc. (Three letter minimum)

     Waggle scoring: Points are awarded according to the length of the word found and the value assigned to each individual letter. Less common letters carry more weight, and a 10 point bonus for all words 7 letters and greater. (Three letter minimum)

## Key features

- Slide letters to form words
- Timed game modes (1, 2, 3 minutes)

### 5/5 — Great free game

*2012-07-22*

For a free game, it has quite a bit of lasting play appeal. Its kind of addicting if you like like word games. I use this game to practice for playing my friends in scramble.

### 1/5 — No longer happy

*2012-07-18*

I would have given this a five star yesterday. Today I would give it one star unfortunately I installed the update big mistake. Every time I am in the middle of the game a stupid banner pops up on top of the 4 top letters unless I memorize what letters that are up there (not happening) then it impossible to try making all of the word possibilities. There is no way to get the banner off unless you start a new game.

### 5/5 — Very fun, should be more popular...

*2012-01-17*

I LOVE this game, (I like it better than angry birds) ;)

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2011-09-22*

This game is quick, clean, and a lot of fun. I like the waggle setting. It really adds to the replay value. I'm hooked, best word spelled so far is "craziest"

### 2/5 — Fun but has some bugs

*2011-09-08*

The game works and layout is nice. The following needs to be fixed: sound setting is not remembered, crashes if your finger is on the board when time runs out.  The help "I" kicks one out of the game.  Couldn't select any settings except sound.  Couldn't access dictionary shown in screen shots.  If it ran as described, it would be a 4 or 5 star.  Update: game no longer shows scores or words that could have been entered.  When your three minutes are up, the game closes.

### 5/5 — So fun!

### 5/5 — Boggle fans will love this

*2011-05-23*

Purchased Word Waggle a few days ago. Find myself making up excuses to play the game instead of do real work. You'll be addicted too, but don't say I didn't warn you!

### 5/5 — Nice

### 3/5 — Great app for what it does

### 5/5 — Great game!
