Description

Word Builder is a word game in which the player gets points by creating words from letter tiles arranged in a grid of 8 rows and 12 columns. Each tile can be used only once and only if it is in the top row. When a tile is removed from the top row, all the other tiles in the column move up to fill the empty space.

Valid words have at least 3, and no more than 15 letters. Points are calculated by multiplying each letter’s point value by the length of the word. The longer the word, the more points earned per letter.

This game comes complete with a dictionary of more than 168,000 words, each having 3 to 15 letters.
