BookWorm brings you great word-building action! Link letters and create words to feed the hungryBookWorm -- but watch out for fiery red letters, because they'll burn your library down if you'renot careful!The concept of Bookworm is simple. One needs to make words by linking adjacent letter tiles.The more complex the word and more difficult the letter, (z, x, q, like Scrabble), the higherthe score. Short, or low scoring words, cause fires to start with letters at the top of the PCscreen, the library wall. If a word is not formed from the burning tile letters before they reachthe bottom, then the game explodes - kaput! The higher your score, the more burning tiles appear.Thus the level of difficulty increases. Also, the longer one plays a particular game, thus usingup a variety of tiles, it becomes more difficult to find either vowels or consonants. Scoringthen becomes even more difficult.There is a leisurely paced Classic Game, and no beat the clock option. I personally prefer thisone. It gives one time to really think and look for many-lettered words. Then there's the ActionGame, where you have to beat both the clock and the burning tiles. Since one is more inclined togo for short words when the clock is ticking, there are more burning tiles here. It really getsthe adrenaline going! There is also a Save Game option which is terrific. Once I begin to scorein the high numbers, which can take a while, I get tired, and am able to save the game withoutlosing points, and can come back to it another time. The players' high scores are saved in theHall of Fame, so it is easy to compete against yourself or another player. |
