So the challenge is not to make words form letters but to guess what words are in the game's extremely limited database, made more frustrating when the words it sometimes comes up with are unrecognizable. Still searching... I liked Word-Whomp. ### 1/5 — Poor form... *2009-12-31* It does not accept several basic words. In some cases in accepts plural, in others it doesn't. Not much of a word game, which refuses to accept words. Worst of all, when your time is up it displays a message "Times up"... OK, this could be a joke, but somehow I don't think so. A waste of time and money. ### 4/5 — Passing time *2009-10-15* Great to pass 5minutes of your time when waiting for someone! ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2009-10-10* I love word games but this is one of those games that needs a lot of work before it becomes enjoyable. The vocabulary needs to expand more. There are some simple obvious words that should be included but aren't. Then there are some answers they have that aren't common words. Also, the lag time between typing and it appearing on the screen is really annoying. How can I beat the clock when I'm waiting for the letters to appear? And another thing, if I type a word that's not on the list, it'll be nice if I heard a sound to indicate that it's wrong just like how there's a sound when your right. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2009-09-30* The concept and design of the game are great! Similar to others I enjoy, but the limited dictionary is disappointing. I believe the game should have a wider vocabulary than me. Some very basic words are missing. The other annoying part is the slow response time when typing. After all, this is a game against time. You shouldn’t have to wait for the game to catch up. In my opinion, Word Warp is far superior. I hope to see some improvements in future releases. ### 4/5 — Fun game, but missing a few things *2009-09-27* I was so glad to find something that was comparable to one of my favorite internet games, Word Whomp. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for something similar. I like the look and the sounds but it might be nice to have the option to change the themes or music around. Also, the one thing that really really irritates me is the missing words!! There are completely OBVIOUS words that should be answers but they aren't. It is annoying... ## Frequently asked questions about WordZen ### What is WordZen? WordZen is a word puzzle game where you form as many words as possible from six given letters.
