War of Words 2 update (Free)
What’s it about? War of Words 2 is a crossword game in which players take turns placing words on a board, but which includes a number of other tiles that affect the way the game is played.
What’s cool? If you’ve played games like Scrabble, then you already know the basic gist of how War of Words 2 works. Players take turns placing letter tiles on a game board, with each letter coming with a point total that goes toward the player’s score. The idea is to strategically place your tiles on multipliers to increase your score, but you also have to build off existing words on each turn. War of Words mixes up the formula a bit by adding other tiles to the board, which have effects like “poisoning” players to cost them points, blowing up your opponents’ words, and more. The latest update to War of Words 2 adds the ability to play twice as many active games against opponents online, and cuts one of the game’s expansion packs to half price.
Who’s it for? If you like challenging other players to word games, you’ll want to check out War of Words 2.
