The ultimate collection of word games to keep your brain active and your reflexes sharp. Enjoy Word Search, the newest addition, to improve your word finding skills. It features a larger board and a list of words to find by connecting adjoining tiles in any direction. Go on an Adventure to use your word finding skills to achieve goals and pass levels. Be a Survivor to see how long you can last before the letters overflow the board. Measure your skills with Timed rounds versus your best scores or one of your friends.

Word Falls is a fast action word game that challenges your brain and your reflexes.
- Search the puzzle board for words.
- Spell words by dragging your finger to connect adjacent letters in any direction even diagonal.
- Keep the letter tiles from overflowing your board as they drop.
- Drag falling letter tiles to avoid tall stacks and to drop them in strategic locations.
- Activate special letter tiles by including them in the words you spell.
- Challenge your brain, your reflexes, and your spelling as you race against time searching for words and stacking falling letters.
- Challenge your friends to a game any time, anywhere.
Play a competitive game online to see how your scores stack up against the world. Challenge your Word Fall friends to a game via a user name search, play games with random opponents, or invite a Facebook friend.
Brag about your results on Twitter or to your Facebook page.
Activate your brain as you quickly search the stationary letter tiles to spell words by connecting letters in any direction including diagonal. The same letter tile can only be used once per word, but you can change directions as you drag to connect any direct neighbors of the tile you are currently touching.
Keep your reflexes sharp and your brain alert as the letters drop. Drag tiles as they drop to avoid tall letter stacks and to find a better position to spell words you have found in your search. When a letter drops on top of a stack that is at the top of the puzzle board, your game is over.
Challenge your brain, challenge your reflexes, challenge your friends.
Word Falls, where words fall into place…sometimes.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game has been fun until it has been freezes up or wont start at all.
The instructions dont show you how to clear the grey tiles, what the numbers mean or how to use the tools. Waste a lot of time and tokens figuring it out.
We love this game, but using the rewards you get when you spend are not at all accessible. We have tons of rewards but no way to use them. Help files not clear, not helpful.
Can anyone tell us how to clear the gray tiles? Much appreciated.
It takes four tries for this app to open. We love the game but its frustrating.
The time allowed to play is too short. Why cant we watch an ad like on Words With Friends & keep playing when we have time? The time it takes to get more stars is too long. Plus, we should be able to save up more than 15.
We bought this game and enjoyed it very much. Phone update and app updatenow it doesnt open at all. We have to wait a few seconds thinking it will open but it disappears and Im back to Home Screen. Id sure like our money back or tell us how to fix this issue.
Usually we dont need instructions. But if you dont have a key how the heck do you unlock the lock?? You cant expect us to buy keys to play the game! If so then this game is extremely self limiting. If there is a way to unlock the lock without a key please advise and we will readjust our rating, as this has been our only hindrance which has stopped us from playing and advancing.
We dont like this new version. It is less responsive to our finger movements and is generally less fun to play. Im thinking of trashing the app.
Why was it changed? The original was a terrific game. We guess we will delete it. Leadbags.
This is the best game that we have ever played in our life!!! The soundtrack and voices are the best we've ever heard.
You have many options- difficulty level, solo play versus competitive.
We really enjoy this game. There are several different versions to it, so you can change the play up, which helps boredom not to set in. However, really, in the continuous round , where it gets faster as it goes along, you really don't have time to get bored. It is in fact kind of exciting as you try to keep up with the falling letters. Then trying to make decent length words makes it even ore exciting. This is one of the best word games we have played in a while. This and Pop Words are about equal in difficulty. We would recommend this game to anyone that likes word games, and likes to feel a bit of excitement- a little rush of adrenaline while playing. A fun game! Thank you for inventing it, and letting us play for free.
Love this challenging game. Keeps us thinking and challenges us.
Super fun word game that keeps you moving as fast as you can.
It would be better if the letters left at the bottom were subtracted from your score. Right know when you know you've gotten some good words and at the end you end up with 4 letters that's can't make a word so all your work goes to pot and you end up with 400 instead of 1800. We try hard to get a good score and we get good letters until the end and then get caught with 4 letters that can't be a word so you lose the whole game. Fix it please. . Not fair.
Absolutely love this game! Very mind challenging.
Imagine Scrabble with endless tiles that you can play alone or with an opponent. Never gets old.
Need to focus on game, fast moving! Barely time to think.
Absolutely amazing! The very first time we played this we were addicted! We can't seem to not play it, with these types of games we can usually find words easily but this gives us a bigger challenge!! Good job, this deserves a 5.
Our only problem with this game is finding the will power to stop playing. Makes you want to keep challenging yourself to go one better. Great that you can progress from one level to the next as you become more adept.
This is the best game ever! We can't stop playing our friends and family…we think we're addicted to it!! Love this game so much.
We can't stop playing. With all the levels, it will challenge everyone.
This game is the perfect combination of Tetris and word games. Our family LOVES it.
Haven't found a truly entertaining, challenging game for a while. Well now we have! Amazing game.
This game is addicting and so fun.
This game is great for all you word game players. Fast paced and lots of fun. Love the online play.

This is the best game it's so addicting and it's a game that everyone should have downloaded on their phones!!!!! Keeps you very entertained.
Funnest game we've ever played. We're hooked on this!! It's the most addicting and entertaining game.
This is the funnest game we have ever played. We can never stop playing and get so addicted.
We're usually the best in the world at every game, but this one actually gives us a challenge.
The games is awesome. When we realized you can move the letters too, yeah mind blowing.
Face paced, challenging & crazy fun! A game the whole family can enjoy. It's a great warmup before working, it gets our mind right.
Tetris meets scrabble! Now to get our brain in gear.
We love word games and this one is probably the best one we have played. It is very challenging and keeps you on your toes! But it has different levels, so you can start out on beginner and move your way up to advanced. We love that you can challenge other opponents or just play on your own. This game is extremely addicting!! We need to put it down and get something done.
We can't spell but this one is really fun. It moves fast and it keeps your mind thinking . Great to exercise the brain!!!! We dint play s lot of games but this one is awesome.
What an awesome new twist on all our favorite games! We can tell we'll be logging a lot of time on this app! Love it.
This is a great word game, fun, fast with lots of exciting special moves to keep it fresh. If your looking for a new addiction this is certainly one to try.
This is awesome! Defiantly challenging our 40 something year old brain.
The first time we played we were hooked! :).
Wow Amy you really did it this time. We have been playing this for the last 5 hours. And Sue hasn't beat us once.
This is like scrabble and Tetris put together. We're so tired of playing candy crush. This is our new favorite game. Who wants to challenge us.
Word game that is exciting and fast paced. Love it.
We love this game, everyone needs to play so u can challenge more people.
Great game. Cool twist on some of our favorite classic word games. Can't wait to challenge our friends.
Most word games just put us asleep. WordFall keeps us on the edge of our seat! Fast, exciting play will have you squirming while you try to find that next word before… POP.
