Play-N-Pass Mode

How often have we read tweets about people talking trash to each other about their Word Warp scores?   Given a stronger desire to compete than we had initially imagined, one of the goals in the design of Word Warp Xtreme was to make it easier for a person to play against their friends and, of course, to really determine who the best is.  We made sure to include lots of opportunities in Word Warp Xtreme where we could have some sort of social interaction and resolve all disputes about who was the most Xtreme!  Ok you're probably right, all we're doing is increasing the trash talking – but at least now it's more fun!

Xtreme Play!!

Today, we'll be taking a look at our Xtreme play mode, our newest feature of Word Warp Xtreme! 

Xtreme play is where you get a series of six and seven letter words that are jumbled up.  Your mission is to unscramble each of these words before time runs out.  You get no points for coming up with four or five letter words.  You have to figure out each word!   The faster you figure out each complete word, the higher your score!!

Six and Seven Letter Puzzles!!!!

So to kick off our blog series spotlighting the features of Word Warp Xtreme, I thought we'd start by taking a look at one of the most common requests we received for Word Warp: seven letter puzzles.  Now we've been meaning to institute seven letter puzzles into our game for some time now, we just didn't think we could put it in Word Warp without drastically changing the layout of the game.  As you may know, our old Word Warp game is played in portrait mode and if you look at the screen, there's no way we could comfortably place seven blank spaces on the screen without anything looking squished or awkward.

FAQs on Word Warp Part III

 Our last set of responses for Word Warp deal with probably the biggest complaint about the application, the issue of where we get the words in Word Warp.

Now the thing that confuses me to a great extent is that from talking to a large number of Word Warp players, reading over reviews and then also reading the comments from the App Store, I have concluded that there are two types of Word Warp players:  those who are extremely happy with the game and can't find much to complain with, and those who vehemently question the authenticity of the words used in Word Warp.
