WORDAMENT
Platform: Android, Windows, iOS
Microsoft takes the classic word spelling game and makes it fully online. Wordament is a tournament where the mission is to find as many words in the given 4x4 grids as possible within 2 minutes. Unlike Scrabbles, Wordament is not turn-based, but is a massive online multiplayer game where thousands of players around the world compete at the same time. This cancels out the tedious wait for your online opponent to respond.
The given letters in the 4x4 board have different points to it. Words are spelled out by swiping through adjacent tiles. Almost every round has a special mission to it such as, double letters, corner letters, and themes.
After the two-minute game, a window shows which words you missed and which you didn't. Then the score sheet is shown where you can see the top ten and your relative position.
The other cool feature is the addition of Xbox Live Achievements where you can compete with your Xbox Live friends. There's also a 'Frenemies' feature that records the scores of the day of all your friends in case everyone isn't online at the same time. If you don't have an Xbox Live account, you can always sign up with Facebook or as a guest.
