PROS: 'Bookworms' will love testing themselves against the game's puzzles. Colourful backgrounds with a charming lead worm by your side. More than 400 different levels, while committed players may find the 60 hidden levels. Compete against other players with a ranking at the end of each level.CONS: Levels prove to be very similar throughout. Little increase in difficulty as you progress. Essentially colourful versions of word games you can already play elsewhere. Only real difference from other Word Wow games are the background textures.- License
