More Fun with Words

In a previous post, I mention some Web sites to visit when you want to improve your vocabulary and have a little fun. Since, I'm always on the Internet looking for new and improved ways to waste time, I have a couple more to post.

Scrabbleblast This game isn't quite like scrabble because all the letters are already on the board. Your job is to click on letters to make words that are as long as possible for the most points. The blast comes in when little bombs show up with a letter and a number indicating how long a word you need to make with that letter. If you're unsuccessful making the specified word before the bomb drops to the bottom of the screen, the game is over.

Word Mojo I first discovered this game for my palm pilot. I was thrilled to find that it came be played on the web. All you have to do is make 3 to 6 letter words out of given letters within the allotted time. After six successful rounds any letters placed on colored tiles during the game come together for you to arrange into a Mega Mojo word. This continues until you're unable to reach the minimum score to advance.

Hoyle Games Some of the games I mentioned in another post under Uproar have moved to Hoyle Games. Here you can play Word Yacht, my favorite, as well as some others that I haven't tried like Crosswords, Doublecross, Hangman, Wordsearch and Wordox.
