Ok, I made up the word “wordometry,” it’s my way of saying word play…but more fun.  Anyways, I’m here now to introduce Wordulous for the iPhone.  Wordulous revolutionizes word games for the iPhone with it’s awesome online mode that can connect to Facebook and even upload high scores.  The goal of Wordulous is to score as many points as possible be creating words from the set of six (or seven if changed options) letters.  Getting a full anagram will give you access to a bonus level which is a trivia question with a scrambed answer, simply re-arrange the letters to form the proper answer, and some extra points come your way.

If you’re a word game puzzle fan you will quickly find yourself addicted to Wordulous.  Anagram and scrabble fans will be highly entertained and if you’ve got friends who play to, the multiplayer mode will enhance the experience.  Luckily the single player mode is quite a challenge too, you’re timed for three minutes, though you will get time bonuses and defects for misspelling or finding a word.  The one problem I still find with word games who look for all the word possibilities from a standard dictionary, is that they’re a lot of words that aren’t commonly used much and a lot of people won’t even recognize them (let alone know the definition).  Luckily for us perfectionists who don’t like that little annoyance, Wordulous allows us to change the dictionary it pulls from.  And for those who don’t well I guess you’ll have to live with a low score (Ok, there’s actually two more options, become an english professor, or…grab a few hints).

The user interface is smooth with easy access to all aspects of the application.  The graphics in Wordulous are satisfactory but some people that I’ve showcased the app to do not like the theme.  Hopefully Wordulous will include an update with more themes.  Even with multiplayer mode, Wordulous is a very stable iPhone application and managed to stay low in file size.  Connections to facebook are quick and painless. For those looking for a refreshing new word game to pick up and play on your iPhone, check out Wordulous.

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 8.4/10 – Multiple game modes, including multiplayer

Enjoyment: 8.6/10 – I am a word play fan and Wordulous kept me entertained

Graphics: 7/10 – The current theme is ok, some will not like.  They’re a few colour customization options.

Sound: 7.5/10 – Nothing annoying, iPod music works without affecting stability

Technology: 9/10 – Connections to Facebook and Phonebook, online leaderboard, perfectly stable.  It’s a win-win.

Replay Value: 7.9/10 – Most will find it quite addicting but there’s nothing much to keep you coming back.

Overall Rating: 8.1/10

Further Improvements:

• More themes
• A gameplay mode for the average user
