***** (5/5) "Word Wow is an explosion of thought-provoking, perplexing, and thrilling fun for almost all ages." - AppAdvice Word Wow is a word game where you make words to dig deeper into the ground. As you dig down, the worm will follow until you can guide him to the bottom before time runs out. You need to be able to make words quickly (although a no-timer mode is available) to string together bonuses, as well as just to clear the path. If you find the worm to be stuck and you can't come up with any words, you can use a bomb to clear some of the tiles. You have a limited number of bombs, but you can earn more as you make more words. As the worm moves down the board, more letters become available. Each level has at least 1 hidden gem, and if you can find all the gems in all the levels of a world, a bonus level is opened where you can really rack up the points! The bigger the words that you can make the more points you'll earn. Try and make enough points each level to earn all three stars. Word Wow will sharpen your brain as well as your reflexes. Help a worm out! Features: * Fast action with the timer or relaxed mode without it * More than 2100+ Levels and 64 colorful worlds * Bonus level for each world when you collect all the gems * Lots of replay value as you see your ranking against all other players globally
