There are many word games for Windows Phone 7, from Scrabble clones to word searches and more!
Test Your Word Power with Windows Phone 7
Among the many new games that are available for Windows Phone 7 since the platform launched in late 2010 is a vast selection of puzzle games.
Within this category of games there are many word games, fun little apps that challenge you to make and find words. This type of game is a great way to kill time while waiting in a queue or even when you’re in the train, and as the options for such games increase on Windows Phone 7 it is only a matter of time before an official release of something like Scrabble or Boggle comes along.
In the meantime, however, these great games are available on the Windows Phone 7 and Zune Marketplace !
Word Chief
This popular free app for Windows Phone 7 presents you with a selection of letters from which words must be made. Playing against the clock, you need to complete all possibilities, all the while looking for an elusive six-letter word to proceed to the next level. If you get stuck, the “scramble” button is there to help you out and mix up the letters.
