Exhilarating. Race your way through the letters faster than your opponent, forming words as fast as you can. You might find yourself swearing or shrieking in delight when you just barely missed or made that great word at the end of a round. Zingus takes word swipe games like Boggle to the next level with a race to the finish line. Instead of a fixed set of letters to find words in, the letters go on and on like a race track, and you race through them as fast as you can. Take turns with your friends to find the most words in the least time. And longer words are even better! They get you to the end faster, and score a lot more points. Here's what players are saying about Zingus: "it's good for the brain!" "I love and am insulted by Zingus" "I love this app" "Thanks for making something fun I can play... and with my friends, to boot!" "Zingus is a fast paced spelling game that’s fun and addictive. I like challenging myself. Fun to play with friends. If you like Words with Friends, you’ll love Zingus!" "It is addicting!" Try it yourself for free!
