100 Words – Anagrams – Education Game Review
100 Words – Anagrams is a Education/Word/Puzzle game from steve boschi, first launched in 28th March 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 88+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes 100 Words – Anagrams Stand Out
How many words can you discover from six letters? seven letters? eight letters?
Solve the puzzle by finding the keyword (yellow dots) and more common words (white dots) to get to the next level. Find the bonus words (blue dots) to score even higher. The game ends when you complete all 100 levels. Start a new game and get new words.
100 Words is not just another anagram game. Level difficulty is based on a word's frequency in the English language. This makes 100 words unique and challenging as each level becomes more difficult.
Can you find all the words before time runs out? Don't worry, the game doesn't end if time runs out. Relax, take your time and enjoy. Take a break and come back later to pick up right where you left off.
Use a hint when you get stuck. You start off with 50 hints and earn more as you play.
Can you solve all 100 keywords?

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Im a senior citizen who has been playing this game for several years. It helps keep us sharp and engaged, and we really enjoy the challenge it represents. We play it pretty much every day.
Love playing games that challenge the mind! This one really fits us to well! We have a hard time trying to stop sometimes its so fun.
It's an anagram game that doesn't try to be anything else! No time limits, no puzzles, no PvP junk… Just relaxing anagram solving.
Very enjoyable! Could use a few tweaks such as letting you know if youve completed all possible words in a game. Also, should move the hint and next game buttons so they arent so easy to tap accidentally.
We used to play Chictionary. This isnt as cute visually, but it is very challenging. There arent a lot of good word games out there, so we appreciate this free game.
This is a wonderful game. Have to limit ourselves.
Pros: Lots of words to solve, challenging, a minimum of crazy words that u havent heard of, doesnt make u drag your finger around to choose words, lots of time to solve the puzzles, not in a scrabble format. Cons: Doesnt show u the unsolved words after u move on to next puzzle, doesnt show your current game score as u work the puzzle, cant tell how many more words u need to move to next puzzle while playing.
Not terrible, but really should provide missed words when level/game ends. One wants to know what theyve missed. This is a major flaw.
We dont like the fact that you cant pause the game! It logs you all the way out if the phone rings or an alarm goes off. Another thing is if you have multiple words that you havent found, you cant designate which one to get the hint for, if you need a hint! Finally, Ive gotten to level 83 or so, answered a phone call and it wont allow us to resume the game. It takes you all the way back to Level 1.
We enjoy this game, but there are a few things missing, unless we just havent figured out the features. We would like to be able to view the words that we miss before moving onto the next round. We also would like a way to keep the last word and add an s for plurals without typing it again.
Timer doesn't indicate seconds remaining and there's no list of words not found at the end of each round.
Im starting to wonder the type of person that designed this game…Ive ran across 3 words that we thought was highly inappropriate …& last straw, the word Swastika makes us really wonder what kind of person Steve Boschi is…we decided to delete the game.
We play Scrabble and several other word games every day, and in a single round this game had six words we had never heard before, which were not in Merriam-Webster. This does not test your knowledge of words, just your ability to string together letters until you find a combination the games accepts. No, thanks. When we play a word game we want it to be a game of skill, not meaningless make-work.
We really love the game. It's very challenging with some of the words they use. Our BIG problem is that it too easy to tap the Hint button and the Advance to Next Level button before we are ready. They don't seem to be placed properly. We have lost both "hint" helps as well as advanced too soon which in the long run lowers our possible score.
We love this game!!! It is addicting but makes you think which is a good thing.
Our favorite word game for waking up our brain. Fun. Absorbing. Challenging.
We love word games and this one is at the top of our list.
Great game. Our wife say we spend too much time on it.
Everything is very intuitive and it keep you coming back. One thing we would change: the letters should move back to the bank after a failed attempt (instead of having to hit the red triangle).
Great game and awesome gameplay. Good designs as well. Would highly recommend for anybody that's looking for a good game to play.
It's really fun word game. We spent several hours every day to find more and more words from 6, 7 letters.
We love playing this game when we have spare time. Once we start it we can't put it down.
Fun and great to help keep your mind sharp.
Best 100 word free game . Addictive game to play and love it so much . True best game.
It's really addictive , challenging and great fun.
We don't think we could complete a puzzle without the hints, but you get 100 to start so that can get you pretty far. Good idea for a game.
We just started playing this game and we're already addicted. Challenging and fun.
This is our favorite word game. We play others, but always come back to this one.
Good game, but same words are coming back. Also, we started with 6 letters, but want to move to 7 and we don't see anyway to do that. That's the only thing we don't like.
Helps us fall asleep. It's a little monotonous but not boring, and we're glad it's free.
Game is a lot of fun but frustrating when it won't accept some real words that are in the dictionary.
This is a really addictive game! Like many others, you can spend hours playing this one, but it has something special that makes us play it more frequently. We do recommend.
Addicting!! We really like this game and find it quite challenging. Once we start a level it is really hard to stop playing. We must admit though; some of the words are bizarre.
Just play we like here not time pressure.
Love these types of word games and this one is very well done.
Good relaxing game for casual play.
It's pretty fun. Like text twist but better.
Solid, low-pressure anagram game. Doesn't punish you for guessing. Needs a dictionary. Some of these words are just prefixes, we think. And a lot wouldn't be accepted in scrabble, we think.
And a pause button also a way to track personal game stats, like total games played and words found.
We love this game but even though our time runs out, the words we've missed are never revealed.
We loved this game! But we deleted today because of a profane word in it. ( go_da__).
This game needs to come with a dictionary and offer meanings to all its words.
We enjoy this game a lot, it keeps mi mind occupied.
Lots of fun; we love word games.
Really really fun! We love spelling games (like spelltower) and this is great too. Really fast and addicting.
Yeah its good and plays well but the question is if you're up to playing another word game? You decide.
We love this game. It really tests our brain. It starts easy then becomes challenging. Our parents play this game a lot and they love it too. It's much more fun to play it with friends by passing it around. Great game.
This is really fun game. We like word games and this is well done.
Guessing word is always such a challenge. Some word looks simple but really hard. However, this app need to be updated on graphic to make it more attractive.
Just try and challenge yourself by playing words. Some words is easy and simple, but another is also hard and challenge.
