Fun and funny word game is well worth a download

WordFu, a $3 game from ngmoco, isn’t your mother-in-law’s jumble game. It’s a manic-paced, cleverly-crafted iPhone app that takes only a minute to play. The game is both fun and funny, and well worth a download.

Addicting

This is a fun, Boggle type word game. It is fast and easy to play and has become more addictive the more I play it. The default round time is 45 seconds, but it plays longer because there are ways to extend the game, like the "Freeze time" power up. Word Fu plays a bit easier than I remember Boggle being because you can use letters multiple times in a word. If you only have one 'T' you can still make a word like 'mitt'. I also really like the belt reward system (yellow belt, black belt) which makes playing on your own interesting, without just setting the high score.I highly recommend this game as a cheap way to waste some time!
