WordXing™ is the fast-paced word-crossing game for the iPhone and iPad. Players are given a set of letters to form into a single group of words that cross each other vertically and horizontally. WordXing is exciting to play because: • Intuitive interface makes game play easy and fast: • Play new words by tapping each letter in sequence and then drag and drop the word onto the game board. • Letters that have already been played can be rearranged to form different/better words. • New letters can be requested and existing letters can be exchanged for new letters. • WordXing accepts dictionary words as valid, but also accepts proper names, geographical names, abbreviations, slang, and pop-culture words. • Double points are awarded for long words and words containing the special, “2X” letter chosen randomly at the start of the game. • Play solo or against an opponent. • The entire game is played in one turn. You never have to wait to play, even when playing an opponent. • Concisely displays the pending games between you and your opponents. • Tracks your recent and best games played, enabling review of scores and final board layouts for you and your opponents. • Two game types: time-limited and score-target games, each with short, medium, and long options. • Play left or right handed - just rotate your device to find the best orientation for you. WordXing supports 11 languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. When you get WordXing, you get the app, the whole app, and nothing but the app! WordXing has no ads and no in-app purchases.
