Love, LOVE this addictive word creation game!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2008

Verified Purchase

It reminds me a bit of the game "book worm" on Yahoo games. You are given a bunch of tiles and use them to create words. The initial setup looks exactly as it does on the front cover. Once you use a tile it's gone, and a new tile underneath or touching the other is revealed. You have to earn wild tiles or bomb tiles by creating words with so many letters.
There are 3 modes:

Temple ~ Which is standard mode where you are given puzzle after puzzle and earn a new rank after scoring a certain amount of points; and you must use all tiles; if you complete the puzzle with a leftover, you have to try again

Daily Puzzle ~ You are given points to beat and go through the stack

Battle ~ You earn points to go against higher opponents and try to beat them with the higher points to earn the next level of opponent.

Overall, a fabulous game. Anyone who loves word games will truly enjoy this one! I am dreading it ever ending....

Awesome word puzzles!

I was looking for a nice puzzle game for my DS and bought this based on great reviews. I was not disapppointed. I got hooked on the game right away. This game is highly addictive and has good graphics & sound.
The multi player mode is a lot of fun and that alone is worth the [...] for the game. The battle mode is pretty good but the early stages are pretty easy for an adult.

One useful enhancement that I would like to see is a dictionary/thesaurus option. If you like to play scrabble, this game is a blast. Even otherwise, if you like puzzle games and would like to sharpen your vocabulary, this is a great buy.

Uses the Official SCRABBLE(R) Players Dictionary

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2008

Verified Purchase

I have both MahJong Quest and this game, WordJong.

WordJong is a well-designed game: hats off to Destineer, Gameblend Studios, and Magellen. The graphics look great, and there are small touches (for example, special colored tiles) that make this game special.

The screen resolution is noticeably better for this game than MahJong Quest; to be fair, though, more tiles needs to be displayed on the MahJong Quest screen.

The music is soothing (if you don't like it, you can always turn it off). The game enables you and your "real" opponent to decide on the amount of time to form words. There doesn't appear to be a time restriction on forming words when playing against the virtual opponents, however.

One important thing to know about WordJong is that it appears to use _The Offical SCRABBLE(R) Players Dictionary_ as its source for playable words.

Therefore, you might be surprised as you battle the tougher virtual opponents to see them use quirky SCRABBLE(R) words like

xu
ka
jo
ai
qanat
qat
qoph

If you'd rather play using a standard dictionary's lexicon (I personally don't mind the SCRABBLE(R) dictionary words, that option is not available.

And that's about the only suggestion I have for the game's designers -- perhaps version 2.0 could enable users to choose between the SCRABBLE(R) dictionary or another "everyday" dictionary. I'd recommend _Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary,_ or none at all.

Another fact(oid) about this game is that when you play Temple Challenge, points don't appear to be awarded for games in which you don't use all of the letters. For example, if you leave unused letters "behind," you can begin a new game, but points do not seem to be added to your score until you complete unfinished games (which means using ALL of the tiles...not always an easy task).

Again, a great game that with just a few minor improvements could be sublime. As some others have said, think of SCRABBLE(R) or BOGGLE(R), but better!

I love this game. It is easy to use, without reading all sorts of tedious instructions. It is relaxing and easy on the eyes. It is sort of like a combination of Scrabble & Maj Jong Match. All actions on it can be done with the stylus. I love the little fortune cookie fortunes, after the games. This game was an excellent value at the discount price I paid, for sure!!!

Great game and loads of fun for an adult

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

Great game and loads of fun for an adult. I have tried some of the other word/puzzle games targeted at older players and largely find them too dumbed-down. WordJong on the other hand I have been playing for years. I especially love the Battle Mode and the Daily Puzzle. Temple Challenge is also ok, but the addition of a random scoring element and lack of high scores (just a running total of all scores ever) keeps me from playing it often..

My only problem of the game is that the dictionary is flawed. You have a 9-tile limit, so the dictionary only contains 9-letter words. The problem with this is that one tile, "Qu", is two letters on one tile. So perfectly common 10-letter words containing a "Qu" are 'not in dictionary'. Words like 'Quotations', 'Equatorial', etc. have been turned down for me, though oddly I think 'acquiesced' was.

If not for the 10-letter, 9-tiles dictionary issue, would be a five star game for me.

2 defective chips!

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2008

I LOVE this game, however i am in process of returning the second one. Both froze at a certain level, no way to progress, and finally totally froze. Tried in another nintendo gameset, and did the same thing after clearing the chip. Soooo maybe just a bad group, but am not replacing it. Amazon has been wonderful about the thing though. Too bad, a truly good game, addicting.

A great game for the spelling challenged. My son kind of stole this from me, he was amazed how much it has helped his spelling besides being fun. Myself, I wish they had more than one free tile. Still a fun game.
