Is there an app for this?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

For anyone who loves word searches as much as me, I’ve stumbled across the perfect way to while away a cold, wet lunchtime – although be warned, it could become addictive!

In Bookworm, you have to search for words by moving up, down or diagonally across the letter tiles. When you find a complete word and submit it, the cute little bookworm in the corner eats the letters and adds your score to the total.

Sounds deceptively simple, but don’t be fooled – it’s really quite tricky. Whenever you submit a word the tiles shuffle to fill the places of the letters you’ve used, meaning you have a constantly changing selection of letters to use. If only I had this on my mobile I’d never be bored again!

    Chiara: About whether the theatre production Shoes would be any good. Saw the poster for it and am intrigued.

    The Slap , by Christos Tsolkias Lara: An excellent reading group choice as there’s much to discuss. Clever, yes. Would I recommend it? Not so sure. Very interesting subverting of characters but it’s taken me till around the middle of the book to start really getting in to it.

    Chiara: People-watching.
