Scroodles – Word Game Review
Scroodles is a Word/Family game from Mad Sally Games LLC, first launched in 27th August 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 171+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Scroodles Stand Out
Battle the "Scroodles" in this fresh, fast, and fun word game! Use eight random letter tiles to form a word each round. Then use the points from that word to fight the enemy drawings, called Scroodles. After you go, its the Scoodles' turn to spell!
It may sound simple, but each of the 180+ levels offers a new twist to keep things challenging! Are you smarter than the Scroodles?
FEATURES
-
FUN CHARACTERS – Control a lonely eraser in his quest to defeat a group of mischievous drawings. Watch as Scroodles are drawn to life at the start of each level, then create words to erase them! Every Scroodle is colorfully illustrated and animated with individual voices and character profiles!
-
SCROODLE STATS – Each Scroodle has unique stats for health, intelligence, and speed. Some Scroodles also cast ‘Word Spells’ requiring smart strategies to defeat.
-
POWER-UPS – Randomly generated power-ups add keep the action fresh and challenging. For example, can you find a way to use that 'P' in a word to freeze a Scroodle?
-
GAME BOARD MADNESS – Every level also has a different 'board' layout that can include board powers such as Double Word or Triple Letter. Can you use that high scoring 'Z' as the third letter in a word to take advantage of the Double Letter square?
-
COMPETE WITH FRIENDS – See how you measure up against your Facebook friends with level-based leaderboards!
Now a note from the Wizard:
"Hey Dummy, bad guy here dropping you a quick note. Someone with your IQ should really spend their time mindlessly popping bubbles or swapping candy blocks. Don't bother with this game, my Scroodles are too intelligent. Keep on swiping. Bye."
Wow, rude!
So, are you up for the challenge? Ready, Set, Spell!
This Word game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love this game, super fun. Great for learning how spell. The scroodles are super fun to defeat. Love the music, overall great game.
We got back into this game recently and have had a blast! Getting 3 stars for all 200 levels is a real challenge, and theres as much replayability as there are words in the dictionary. The enemies and tile modifiers are well designed, and presented in interesting combinations, requiring strategy to beat. We do find the scoring unorthodox. You can earn zero stars, yet still win the round. The game seems to allow any word, which is nice for the player, but it means the AI can use some questionable words, too (ex. Labia, poo, gay). So consider that before you let kids play. Lastly, the monetization really slows you down. You get 3 lives, so if you want to play longer than 6 minutes or so, youd better be really good, or make an in-app purchase. The game randomly chooses to offer you ads for coins, but not often enough to sustain a longer play session. Im very reluctant to make IAPs, so personally Id be willing to watch more ads if it meant we could play the game more.
Great way to get the adrenaline flowing on a word game of all things.
Our Moms Cousin helped with this game and it is very fun and helps vocabulary. Thanks for the game Jim.
We adore this game. Ive collected all possible starswe need more! This game is perfection. We have no idea why folks are griping about how challenging it is thats the beauty of it. You have to be strategic and try, try, try again! Please dont stop creating new adventures for us, devs.
We love Scroodles to kill time on a flight. With Covid and quarantine, Scroodles was a great relief. And it keeps your mind sharp.
Would be great to have some explanations and more information on how to play the game most effectively.
Like EVER? Been a fan since 2015, but its never been updated. Such an incredible shame.
Love the characters, the spelling, the music, almost everything! The only issue is how to EARN more stars and/or shuffles. There is only one free way to get stars to have more lives. Everything is purchase. Would love to earn them and shuffles somehow or even by watching an ad. Also, Maybe create a way to boost our character? That would be fun.
Super fun game but not enough lives.
We play Scroodles every morning to keep our brain stimulated (just turned 66). Our problem is that we have been stuck on Level 39 for over a year. Even if we manage to use all our letter tiles, we cant earn enough points to get 3 gold stars. It is frustrating! Are there any clues to beat this level.
Love this game!! Really want to play the new levels. Come back soon please.
Warning, do not download this game, unless youre ready to get addicted! Its fun and challenging. Makes you use your brain! Im glad they limit your lives or Id never get anything done. Lol.
We love this game. It's addicting but not mindless. At first it will seem too easy, but don't be fooled by the cute characters. We hope they keep adding more levels.
Downloaded Scroodles last week and just binge-played all 180 levels. Hope theres more coming soon! Love the cutesy art, gameplay is solid, even the background music is growing on us. Keep up the good work.
This game is awesome!!! Whoever complains that they can't get past a level simply hasn't bothered to persevere and discover the correct strategy to win and obtain all 3 stars for each level. Each level has its own correct strategy to win and it's a joy to meet and conquer the challenge. Something to look forward to on our phone. 5 stars.
Love the game! Lots of challenges.
This game is super addicting and fun to play.
Fun game with clever animation.
While not the most sophisticated of all games, this is charming, entertaining and provides for some thinking muscles to be worked.
One of the cutest word games ever! No bugs yet.
Do it! It gets more difficult so don't worry about early levels.
We enjoy the game but new levels rarely get released.
Love the game….just waiting on the other levels.
Love the game and it's concept. Our new favorite thing.
We love this game! It has so many variations to keep it interesting… And we love that it is actually challenging, especially if you aim to get 3 stars on every level.
Facebook login does not work It says we need permission to get this app on Facebook.
NEEDS MORE LEVELS!!! Im stuck and need you to make more.
Very fun and addictive. Although, we find it unfair that the scroodles can use not only your word as well as you can be beat because they can both use the same word. We agree there is not enough help for how easily you can be defeated.
We really like this game but right now there's a glitch where some stars don't appear after playing (we tap on the level and it says 3 stars, but on the outside there are none, and the 3 stars don't count towards total stars to unlock levels!) please fix this bug.
We've been playing this for a short time but we really have enjoyed it so far. We think it's a great game that fires up some brain power and makes you laugh. If you're looking for a game that's fun, challenging, and an all around good time. You found it.
Could we get an update with some more levels please.
Needs more health for character.
Cons: There are not enough opportunities to increase your character's health or make him resistant to damage. Hearts and power ups are infrequent. When you are battling THREE characters at once ( such as the smarter scroodles) who EACH are like 25 health points and all of the letters available to make words are worth only 1-2 points each, the game quickly becomes unbalanced. You lose very quickly. Pros: very creative game. The different types of scroodles are fun. We love the evil dude who gives us coins because "he feels sorry for us". We wish we could battle our friends in this game.
It has good gameplay and a good variety of fun characters to play against. However, it is hard to get ahead with how little help is provided. For example, there is hardly opportunity for health when it is needed the most via hearts. As well as the fact that there is only one small opportunity to gain coins at rare moments. If these issues were addressed it could could be a five star game.
We enjoy the game but have to play with the sound off as the noises the "scroodles" make are childish and annoying.
We made in game purchases, ended up deleting the app and when we reinstalled it our purchases were gone. We emailed to developer a few weeks ago and have yet to receive a response. It's very frustrating when you spend money on something and get nothing in return… We'd appreciate a refund or our purchases restored.
We love the concept of the game. If you have a question, there is no where to look for an answer. There are not enough options in the game, like can we get more erasers. The game gives you hints that flash for a 10th of a second, too fast to read. You should be able to earn more than 3 stars.. We think the game will continue to be more enjoyable as the creators add on and update.
Really started enjoying the game until the usual obvious mistake was made. Time limit… Why? Why why why? Stupid mistake, at least allow those of us that want to disable it the option! Dumb mistake, deleted.
The game is addicting the map is creative its not boring but the disappointing one is you will win over them by luck it depend on random letter you have and rarely they give a health or x2 attack especially if your on final stage which we been stuck like 20x coz we cant win over the 3 monster with level of 30 and us versus 25 health hence im fighting 3 of them without aid of health only by luck if it is given.. That thing frustrate us.
The concept is great but game itself becomes impossible to keep up with let alone win. You don't have enough life to battle three opponents. In addition to this there seems to be the strange absence of the letter "E". When you are issued your letters 90% of the time no letter "E". Will be deleting. No fun to lose all the time.
When are the next levels coming up. Been waiting for months now.
We absolutely love this game. It's not too easy, not too hard and very unique. Our only problem is we've beat all the boards they have and am waiting for new ones.
This is a great word game, someone came up with something different than the same old thing and provides a really neat twist to the genre. Never thought we'd get to play a combat word game! LoL it's great.
So this game reminds us a lot of scrabble, only more action-y. You attack monsters with so many points (HP) with the points you get spelling words, along with double letter and word spaces… It's pretty tricky, even for ourselves that finds most word games too simplistic. But this one you have to use a little strategy (which enemy to take out first bc of their specials or their word proficiency) as well as your normal word spelling noggin. It's a fun mix, and we've never done a review for any game before, but this one is a game we keep coming back to that retains the element of challenge without ramping it up too much or necessitating in app purchases (tho they are available). Highly recommended to other "wordies".
Adorable, fun, challenging. We love everything about this game. The music isn't annoying, the sounds and Scroodles are fun, and the game boards are properly strategic.
We love this game so much but it really needs to be updated faster with new level. We practically almost have 3 stars on all the levels, that's how much we play it. Please update!!!! We want new levels to play :).
It's a great word game. Very fun concept. The we -app purchases are on the higher end.
This is so beautiful. Finally our spelling skills come in handy in combat. We love this game.
