Similar to Scrabble, Word Boom is a word creation game with a twist. Players are given seven letters and asked to create as many words as possible before the bomb goes off, signaling the end of play. Power ups and boomers are also in play, giving two or three times the normal amount of points or speeding up the bomb timer respectively. This app can be used to support creative thinking, vocabulary study, or as a fun indoor recess activity.

What Users Dislike About the App

“I want it to be updated for it to work with iOS 11 or more.”

“The dictionary of acceptable words is just plain odd & I’m not thrilled with many of the spin results. I think the timer is enough of a challenger without needing to do things backwards or loose words when they are bombed away.”

“There are bugs. Game closes when I leave sometimes; need buttons to scramble (can’t always shake) and pause (can’t always finish). And what jacked up dictionary is used? It wouldn’t take RAPTOR…really??”

“Too many errors. Still too many simple words missing, like Latin, and strange pseudo -words included. I love word games but have finally given up on this one.”

“Crashes! It wont load anymore and crashes and won’t load no matter how many times I try and restart.”
