In Words with Foxy you play against Foxy and compete to earn the most letter tiles on the board. Each letter used in a word will turn your color. Foxy will make words as well and turn the tiles to his color. There's no time limit, just turn for turn to see who can make the best words and own the most tiles at the end of each level. You need to beat Foxy in order to progress to the next level and there are many different levels to keep you occupied!
Use booster tiles to earn rockets and shuffles, you'll need them to level the playing field as Foxy steps up his game.

We love this game, we just wish new levels came out quicker.
Love this game. One of our favorites. Keep coming up with this type of games.
We love this game, we just wish new levels came out quicker.
Cannot wait for the new levels.
Fun game but wont reset for free shuffles and rockets by watching ads. Will not work.
This is our favorite word game. After we finish winning all the levels we start over again at Level 1.
…but we never knew how to save it….we want to check out the new words and levels, but we really hate to start all over again…we played FOXY a lot……….can we cheat? And we know about Foxys little tricks…thats why it was/is always fun…..hello, support! ****After a few games, Foxy is still his devious self! But he has too many get more tiles than Foxy games. We used to love the variety of the games…come on developers, put your thinking caps on or we might get a few barking dogs and start a FOXY hunt.
This app keeps us interested. Im figuring out how to form longer words and what strategy works best. Entertaining and engaging.
This game is way fun, but Foxy cheats like crazy! He uses words that arent words, proper nouns, and words from other languages. But if we try such words, they are invalid. We hope this gets fixed as they add levels, but its still fun anyway.
You can beat the computer over and over and it won't give you the stars it is supposed to.
We were excited to see this type of game but it has stop playing.
Foxy. Gets to cheat and win.when letters are already used by both parties and. There are no moves he is able to form words thus keeping you from. Winning.
Bottom line foxy somewhat cheats. Too many words are proper names/nouns and places and NOT really useable in other contexts… That we know of anywayin the English languageand we have a pretty good vocabulary (grad degree and college professor). We love word games so Ill keep looking but here is what we want a word game exactly like the old Blackberry Word Mole. Check it out see what you can do.
Love the games But – how come Foxy is allowed to use proper names? For instance he used in our games Boston, Japan, Togo, Lenore. Seems cheating to us! Thanks for the fast answer. BTW those are all really bad games – we are totally addicted and am constantly thinking of good, long, special words. We have one question. In Words with Foxy what does it mean when the fox shows up or not over the end result? We are not sure, whether you want to know when Foxy is cheating. He just used Lesbos, which is a Greek island and nothing else as far as we know. Why does Foxy win with 14 to 26 or something like it? Relates to our second question above.
We enjoy the game however find it seems to have many bugs to be worked out and we think Foxys score should always be shown. One particular bug: in playing level 1-8 it is supposed to be most tiles or whoever passes first our score was 24 to Foxys 10 and he had passed 3 times when there were no more moves we chose pass and Foxy won the round. Really!?!? Most aggravating.
This game is fun & challenging. We love it. And the dev always responds right away to answer inquiries. Cant wait for new levels.
We love this game, particularly the way you can play a level over and over. But, we dont know how to progress from the Beach into the Lodge! We easily progressed from the Farm to the Beach, but cant seem to move on now.
We can't seem to figure out how to win the level. Get three stars…nope not always. Get and keep the gold tile… Nope. Get more tiles than foxy… Nope. There doesn't seem to be any consistency to when we win or foxy wins. We've read the " how to play" and no help there. That is our only complaint so far.
It was a good game but couldn't let us pass level 4. We won all the coin like on the previous level but wouldn't unlock level 5 or we deleted the app.
This game is a good concept, but it quickly becomes almost impossible to gain stars. The fox is so wily you can rarely get the tiles you need. It quickly becomes not fun to play.
This is a really fun and original word game. Highly recommend it.
Love Word for Word but the game has some problems. It crashes all the time on both our Kindle Fire and our IPad. It locks up again and again so that you have to close and restart and lose levels in the process. We'll gladly give it 5 stars if these issues can be resolved.
We really liked the game at first, however now the fox keeps stealing all our points. This makes it impossible to get the number of tiles you need.
Although we got this game on Apps Gone Free, this is only free for the first ten levels – then it requires you to buy the full version. Even more annoying is that the game is very slow to load and keeps crashing once you start playing. The fox is adorable and makes the game very entertaining, if only it worked smoothly, loaded quickly, and was truly free when offered on Apps Gone Free, as other games offered there are. Think you can fix these issues? If so, the game would definitely receive five stars from us.
The concept of the game is great but as you move along it becomes nearly impossible to win. The game seems to favor the "house" overwhelmingly. The fix can steal your points and free up tiles you've claimed. It's also hard to figure out how much tiles are worth so to plan how to win.
We really like this game because youre playing against someone (well, the fox) which makes it even more fun.
This game is quite challenging especially if you want to get three stars on each level… This Fox is really sly ;-) There are no lives or timers to worry about so you can relax and strategize and enjoy the game at your own pace… If you are a fan of word games this is definitely worth downloading… You can make it as easy or difficult as you want depending on if you want three stars on each level… You can replay each level as many times as you like and if you don't feel like you need to have three stars you can go to the next level without feeling like you have to have them… It's nice to find a good word game that doesn't rely on lives and timers.
