Top Android Word Games

Let's dive into the games!

Wordscapes

A captivating fusion of word search, crossword, and Boggle mechanics. While not the most innovative, it's perfect for quick wordplay sessions.

Baba Is You

Debatable as a "word game," but undeniably engaging. Rearrange words defining level rules—manipulating gameplay itself. "Baba is you," but what if "Rock is you?" A uniquely fun challenge.

Anagraphs

Exploiting the visual similarities of upside-down letters, this ingenious game lets you flip letters to create more words. A truly unique word puzzle experience.

Words for a bird

From puzzle-game maestro Bart Bonte, known for his free-to-play color series. This creative and elegant word game is as inventive as his other works.

Typeshift

From Noodlecake (creators of the excellent, but Android-absent, SpellTower), Typeshift is a simple yet brilliant anagram puzzler. Slide letters in neat rows to form words. Effortlessly addictive.

Sticky Terms

While stretching the "word game" definition, Sticky Terms is a unique shape-matching game. Assemble shapes into untranslatable words—terms exclusive to one language. A visually stimulating challenge.

Bonza Word Puzzle

More intricate than its name suggests. Arrange text chunks to form words, a deceptively challenging puzzle with themed levels. A great game with a quirky title.

Boggle With Friends

The classic Boggle experience, now enhanced for mobile. Zynga's version offers a polished, multiplayer experience—though occasionally frustrating in its free-to-play elements.

Scrabble GO

Similar to Boggle With Friends in its polished multiplayer format and free-to-play structure. Scrabble GO is a feature-rich, accessible version of the classic game. Words With Friends 2 also deserves a mention.

Word Forward

Despite the genre's similarities, Word Forward stands out with its originality and depth. A surprisingly complex experience within a simple 5x5 grid.

Sidewords

Innovative word puzzles with diverse formats, reminiscent of The Witness. Hundreds of puzzles, categorized by color for mood-based play. More logic puzzle than word game, but exceptionally well-designed.

Letterpress

Initially an iOS hit, Letterpress is a two-player word game where word placement controls territory on a 5x5 grid. Simple yet strategically deep.

Words Of Wonder

A visually appealing crossword game that combines world wonders with vocabulary challenges.
