eswayne's picks
  1. 7 Little Words
    7 Little Words Perfect for crossword lovers, this fiendishly simple app asks you to solve just 7 little words, by giving you 2-4 letter "blocks" to assemble. Puzzles come in levels, much like Angry Birds.
  2. Whirly Word
    Whirly Word How many words can you make with 6 letters? You might be amazed! This app dares you to do just that, with the letters in a fun selection wheel. Getting stumped? "Whirl" the wheel to rearrange the letters and find new combinations.
  3. Hanging With Friends
    Hanging With Friends It's a new twist on the grade-school game of Hangman, adding new challenges and new ways to compete with your friends. Strategy really comes through here not just in solving the words, but also choosing a word your opponent won't solve.
  4. Words With Friends
    Words With Friends The ultimate word game app, doing Scrabble better than Scrabble. Become a wizard at words, and if you're really competitive, Googling for words!
