Is there an app for this?

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!
