Bookworm wiggles onto mobile

We're still playing Chuzzle Mobile months after its release, so news that PopCap Games is releasing its second self-published mobile title was bound to fill us with glee.

The game is Bookworm, and like Chuzzle it's based on one of PopCap's popular web and PC casual games. It's on sale right now from T-Mobile in the UK, with other operators expected to follow in the near future.

It's a bit like Boggle crossed with Scrabble, being a puzzler that involves making words from letter tiles on a grid, with you getting more points for longer and more difficult words.

There's also gem tiles offering bonuses, and burning tiles that you have to remove quickly before they sizzle to the bottom of the grid and end your game.

The neatest feature, though, is the way you select the tiles. You can move a cursor round in traditional mobile style, but you can also type in words using predictive text entry on your keypad.

There are Classic and Action modes, a vocabulary of up to 140,000 words, and full tracking of your high-scores, including your longest words.

We're reviewing the game right now, so click 'Track It!' for an alert when the review goes live this week.
