Super WordUp: the fastest crossword-style game for those who love Scrabble. Place letters into a vertical grid making one or more words per line. Each letter you drop scores both vertically and horizontally and each has to be a valid word. The wild card letter works different too, it's not one letter but all letters simultaneously making this game truly unique! Big points come from leveraging blocks and ledges. After creating a block you lock in a unique feature resulting in higher scores and massive bonuses. Three power ups at your disposal give you control over the board. CUT lets you play any word on a row without worrying about previous plays. BREAK allows you play vertically anywhere on the board. DUMP swaps your entire hand when you're stuck. You choose when to use each one. And the clock is ticking! If you can think fast you'll score additional points.
