Battle the "Scroodles" in this fresh, fast, and fun word game! Use eight random letter tiles to form a word each round. Then use the points from that word to fight the enemy drawings, called Scroodles. After you go, its the Scoodles' turn to spell! It may sound simple, but each of the 180+ levels offers a new twist to keep things challenging! Are you smarter than the Scroodles? ** FEATURES ** * FUN CHARACTERS - Control a lonely eraser in his quest to defeat a group of mischievous drawings. Watch as Scroodles are drawn to life at the start of each level, then create words to erase them! Every Scroodle is colorfully illustrated and animated with individual voices and character profiles! * SCROODLE STATS - Each Scroodle has unique stats for health, intelligence, and speed. Some Scroodles also cast ‘Word Spells’ requiring smart strategies to defeat. * POWER-UPS - Randomly generated power-ups add keep the action fresh and challenging. For example, can you find a way to use that 'P' in a word to freeze a Scroodle? * GAME BOARD MADNESS - Every level also has a different 'board' layout that can include board powers such as Double Word or Triple Letter. Can you use that high scoring 'Z' as the third letter in a word to take advantage of the Double Letter square? * COMPETE WITH FRIENDS - See how you measure up against your Facebook friends with level-based leaderboards! Now a note from the Wizard: "Hey Dummy, bad guy here dropping you a quick note. Someone with your IQ should really spend their time mindlessly popping bubbles or swapping candy blocks. Don't bother with this game, my Scroodles are too intelligent. Keep on swiping. Bye." Wow, rude! So, are you up for the challenge? Ready, Set, Spell!

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.
