"...one of our highest recommendations." -The Smartphone App Review --- • Arrange letters to make words on the board. • Play words anywhere—connected to other words or not. • Build bridges between words to earn bonuses. • Play 8 letters on the "mainland" to win by knockout. • Go for long words. You're awarded bonuses according to the number of letters you play on a turn. For example, play 7 letters and you'll get a 7x point multiplier applied to those letters plus an 8th letter, a star that can become any letter. • When you play words without connecting them to others, this creates word "islands". To score their points, be sure to connect islands to the mainland before they expire. • Short words are less emphasized compared to traditional crossword games. It can still be handy to play those infamous two letter words like 'qi', 'za', or 'ka', but doing well depends less on knowing them. • Play proper nouns and other words like 'Oz', 'Fiji', 'Zion', 'Venus', 'Sunday', or 'Botox' (an optional feature). • No bonus squares to jockey over. This means you focus more on making words and less on defensive strategies. As a result, the board opens up and words begin to flow. • Play friends online through Game Center. • Play randomly matched opponents with Anyone Online games. • More ways to play: Robot (you vs computer), Solitaire (just you) and Pass & Play (you vs friend sharing one device). • With Robot games, there is a challenger ladder where each time you win, you advance to face a better robot. If you lose twice in a row to the same robot, you step down on the ladder for your next opponent. • To return and redraw, press the round button, drag letters into the tray, and press play. • To shuffle, drag letters out of your rack (but not onto the board). • To quickly retrieve letters from the board, double-tap your rack. • To zoom on the iPhone, pinch or double-tap the board. • Robot games are only available on A10X or newer devices, e.g., iPhone 8, iPad Pro 2017, iPad Mini 2019, iPad Air 2019. • Play on Macs with Apple Silicon processors • To learn about rules and scoring: https://goo.gl/1xwEok (Facebook album) • Visit us: http://wordiamo.com and http://facebook.com/Wordiamo
