SUMMARY: A new spin on the classic wordsearch puzzle game

The iPhone has seen its fair share of games since the App Store launched. Surprisingly enough, most of these games seem to be word games. While some of them are definitely not worth downloading, there are plenty of them that keep your enjoyment long enough to have not wasted your time. Wurdle is one of them.

Wurdle is very similar to a standard word search puzzle. When you load up the game you'll have an assortment of letters in front of you that you can use to make words. But that's where the similarities end. You gain points for the length of the word, which might seem difficult at first to get longer words. Luckily for you, you're not limited by which direction you can go to select the letters.

As long as you don't overlap, you can actually go in any direction from each letter you select to the next one. You've got a lot of options when you're no longer limited, making it very simple to spell out some really long words. Plus, when you finally exploit all you can from a specific set of letters, you can just shake the iPhone and watch as a whole new set of letters pops on to your screen.

Wurdles is a race against the clock to score the highest number of points in the allotted time. It's really enjoyable and easy to find yourself getting wrapped up in. There learning curve is next to none and you'll find that it's a great game to pick up and play whenever you have the free time.
