Scramboni is a multiplayer online word game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This games is completely real time and requires you to have some form of internet connection so you can race against your opponents in this word unscrambling game.
In Scramboni, there are three different levels. You'll need to earn points from the previous level to unlock the next one. Each level offers harder words to spell and more opponents to go up against. You won't have any trouble finding opponents to play against as the game is free and fairly addicting.

This is definitely a good fit for what seems to be one of the few multiplayer games available for the iPhone at this point.
You're given a set of letters and you need to spell out a word before time runs out. If you spell it before your opponents do, you get an additional bonus. The red letter designates that it goes at the beginning or the end of the word. This makes things easier if you get stumped. You can also rescramble the letters to see them in a different light.
Adding multiplayer to such a simple game that we've seen done on the iPhone too many times is enough to completely shake up the word game category. Scramboni is a definite must have game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, so make sure that you download it today!

This game is pretty sweet. You basically have a bunch of scrambled letters, shown elegantly as scrabble tiles, and you have to guess the word that the letters make up. You compete against other players in real time, and the fastest person gets the most points. You add up points over multiple rounds. This is a great game if you have wireless access to the internet, and you can enjoy some great multiplayer action against strangers. Your score adds up over time, and you gain experience that way. Highly recommended, since it's free!

Fun little, hint hint, free app. The basis of the game is unscrambling words and the person with the fastest time gets more points. The only thing missing with this game is a way of being able to chat with the other players but overall its a great, fun, free and simple game that'll keep the mind off of truly important things :)

Scramboni Scores Big

Review by Jacklacka

This is a very good app. the graphics are very good. I play the game over Wi-Fi, as I only have an iPod, and I am surprised at how well this app works. Sure there are a few crashes from time to time, but if you load the up straight back up again you seem to be able to go straight back into the game you were previously playing.
The app has no real sounds, but the graphics are very good, as I have mentioned before, and the colour scheme works well with the app. The main menu could be designed to be a bit quicker and have more on it, as just now there is only a tiny bit of a news feed, a highscore box and a level selector.
The game itself is us a simple multiplayer game where you have to unscramble the anagram given to you in the fastest time possible and submit your answer. The person who answered quickest wins the most points, but if you get it right you still win some points. The points help you advance through 3 levels in the game. The words get harder on each level. When playing a game there are 20 rounds. Thus there are 20 anagrams. You sometimes get brief respites during the match where it shows the leader board. During the match the is a small news feed at the bottom which tells you who is winning and how many people are participating.
It would be nice during a match if you could speak to the other players, as typing might be quite hard to do, mainly because your too busy concentrating on the match.

Overall this is a nice, thought through game with not many faults. What makes it even nicer is that this is free. I would definitely recommend you check this cool app out: it's a great little time passer, and helps you wake your brain up.
