Word Chums!

I was looking for games to help keep my mind sharp as I am over 65. I never was good at scrabble, so this game which moves at my own pace gives me the time I need to think of words and the best place to put them. I don’t feel the social pressure to put any old word down. I tried playing with real people that were supposedly matched to my level, when I ran out of bots to play with, but I disliked that. The players were very slow, sometimes taking a day or more for one word and came up with words I figured they looked up with a scrabble word finder. I am quite well educated and had never even heard of a lot of them. I then broke down and paid for unlimited bots so I enjoy the game again. I like the animated characters, and never realized until I looked it up that the hats and stuff were for more than show. It would be nice if the game told you that kind of information at the beginning or had a glossary attached to look up what these kinds of things mean. I guess I’ll keep playing until I am tired of it!

I really enjoy this game, and the added fun of the characters, and optional gear, etc. I like the ability to see the number of stars the word I'm about to play is rated at, too. Sometimes I wish the characters did not react as intensely, because it makes me sad, to see a row of frowning, angry looking characters, when I have a winning streak. The game does crash or freezes sometimes, but I can usually close it down to get it going again. One frustrating thing, is that some real English words are not words that are valid in the game. I also find it frustrating that the stats are not correct. They showed that I played many more low point games then I actually have, and even though I won against a recent first time player, the stats do not reflect that. This player and I have played two games. I won the first, they won the second, but the stats show only one game, with that person as the winner. I sure would like this information to be corrected. Or fixed for the future, at least.

This is such a fun and challenging game...a perfected way to play scrabble. Very well designed and so enjoyable to play! It’s great to play with a friend and send quick chats (like a conversation you’d have if playing together in person). The app will also pair you with someone for a fast or regular game. You can also choose to hone your skills playing against a chumbot. You can pick one of three chumbots at each level - and they’re all really cute! How tough of a challenge do you want? Be prepared for a quick game, because it will not take your chumbot more than a few seconds to find the perfect word to play. Wish I could be that fast! Buy cute accessories for your own chum at the store. I appreciate being able to bomb my tiles and not lose a turn or to ask for a hint on where to build a higher point word. There is NOTHING about this app I would change. It is 5 star across the board! It is the PERFECT word game!

This is my favorite game by far. I like the different Chumbots and their antics. I like the graphics. I like that credit is given for word length in addition to letter and word points. I like that one can move letters all around for the best positions and that points are immediately displayed for any word, even as one keeps adding letters. I really like the “Hint” feature which shows where one can play the best word or at least a better word. Also, I really like the availability of definitions since many “words” I have never heard of, appear when shifting letters around. Too, I appreciate that Word Chums allows slang and archaic words whereas Scrabble does not. I could go on but I’m sure you understand by now that I REALLY like Word Chums! Oh yes, one can play against Chumbots, one other player or several players - and I still have not noted all the features of this game. Great fun for me!
