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!
