Words Mine

Periodically, you'll get bombs you can tap to explode and remove letters.

Players can score points for words such as "s--t" and "bitch," but kids will be exposed to iffy language only if they type it in themselves.

Parents need to know that Words Mine is a fast-paced word game where players spell words, three letters or longer, by tapping letters in order. They can then tap the checkmark to submit the word. If the word is spelled correctly and is accepted, those letters are removed from the screen. Acceptable words include some swear words, such as "s--t" and "bitch." As the game goes on, more letters drop onto the screen. Players can also shake the device to make more words drop. The game keeps score based on the letters used in each word. Each letter has a certain point value, with more difficult letters (such as Q, Z, and X) having higher point values. Letters start dropping faster as players level up. The game is over when the screen is filled completely with letters. Ads run along the bottom of the screen throughout the game.
