No Pocket PC is complete without a game to test the old gray matters ability to mess with letters and words. With Word Challenge you get not one game, but four:

• Word Jumble : Find as many words as you can from the 7 letters given. Complete each level by scoring 30 points or guessing the 7 letter word.
• Hunt-A-Word : Find all the words listed at the bottom of the screen within the 14×14 grid of letters. This is just the same as the word searches printed in newspapers and magazines.
• Hungman : This is an adaptation of the classic hangman word game. Guess the seven letter word by finding all the letters within the word. Be careful, for each wrong letter guessed, brings your man closer to the hangmans drop.
• Word Whiz : Create as many words as you can, by linking letters within a 5×5 grid of letters. Move to the next level by scoring 50 points.

Whilst none of these games is remarkable in itself, together as a collection they provide many hours of entertainment and will also boost your Scrabble playing abilities. As with all eSoft games, the presentation is top notch.

Registered users get to download an additional 50,000 word English or French dictionary to futher extend the games longevity.

Conclusion : This is a top notch version of 4 classic word games. At just under 10 dollars it won’t burn a hole in your pocket and may aid in your ability to beat that Scrabble bore we all know
