What’s It About?

WURDLE is nearly identical to Boggle. Players build words from a grid of letter tiles, looking for as many words as possible before time runs out. Players slide a finger across the letters, and a gentle "ding" alerts them that the word is valid. Simply lift the finger to submit the word. Players can change settings for grid size, minimum word length, and timed game vs. untimed. Multiplayer options include online play via Apple's Game Center, pass-and-play mode for two to four players, and simultaneous play for two players on the iPad.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (2 ):

Wurdle is a no-nonsense word search game that kids will enjoy as well as adults. With lots of options for customizing gameplay, it can appeal to a wide range of skill levels. And for families with an iPad, Wurdle is a good choice for kids to play simultaneously with a parent, a sibling, or another family member. Parents will appreciate that the game doesn't squawk, squeak, or make annoying sounds as some other word games do!

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
