Best Android Word Games

Let's dive into the games!

Wordscapes

Wordscapes cleverly blends word search, crossword, and Boggle elements. While not the most original, it's perfect for quick, addictive word puzzles.

Baba Is You

While debatably a word game, Baba Is You deserves a spot. Its lateral thinking puzzles involve rearranging words that define the level's rules. "Baba is you" – but what if "Rock is you"? Expect a uniquely fun and experimental experience.

Anagraphs

Anagraphs is a truly ingenious game built around the upside-down letter phenomenon. Flip letters to discover new word combinations in this unique and creative word puzzle.

Words for a Bird

From puzzle-game master Bart Bonte, known for his innovative free-color series, comes this creative and elegant word game. A departure from his usual themes, it maintains his signature originality.

Typeshift

From Noodlecake (creators of the excellent, though unavailable on Android, SpellTower), Typeshift is a simple yet compelling anagram puzzler. Slide letters up and down to form words within neat rows.

Sticky Terms

While perhaps stretching the definition of a word game, Sticky Terms is captivating. Assemble shapes to form untranslatable words, exercising your visuospatial reasoning skills.

Bonza Word Puzzle

Bonza Word Puzzle is deceptively challenging. Arrange text chunks to create words, navigating numerous configurations. Each stage includes a theme to aid your progress.

Boggle With Friends

A classic! Zynga's Boggle With Friends is a slick, fun, and sometimes frustrating multiplayer version of the beloved board game.

Scrabble GO

Similar to Boggle With Friends, Scrabble GO offers a colorful and accessible experience. Expect all the features you'd want, along with the standard free-to-play elements. Words With Friends 2 also deserves a mention.

Word Forward

Word Forward showcases the depth and originality possible within a seemingly simple 5x5 grid. It proves that even familiar formats can offer surprising innovation.

Sidewords

Sidewords offers a diverse array of puzzle formats. Hundreds of puzzles, grouped by color, provide a varied and engaging experience.

Letterpress

Originally an iOS hit, Letterpress is a two-player word game where you claim territory on a 5x5 grid. Simple in appearance, it boasts surprisingly deep strategic gameplay.
