Tumblewords: It's like a cross between that game where you make words with tiles and that game where you drop checkers into a vertical grid. For two wordsmiths.
Available word lists include: English TWL 2006, English SOWPODS 2006, French ODS4.

| Aaron | 2 | I just love word games, and this one is just more fun for me than Scrabble. It helps that I don't have to know all the words beforehand =) |

| invisiblejon | 2 | I may be biased since I'm the designer, but I'm very fond of Tumblewords. It's easy to understand, quick to play and has strategic elements. |

| bigby | 1 | Fun but lots of luck involved. Use the dictionary! |

| Zotmeister | 1 | Enjoyable on occasion. I feel like the scoring needs work. I recommend the 3-letter-word-minimum option. |

| Cerulean | 0 | I'd rather play Anagrams or Scrabble. |

| Laurie_Menke | 0 | There appears to be a strong second-player advantage. Other than that, I would really love to see a version of this game where the dictionary was narrowed down to only the 5,000 or so most frequently used words. As is, I feel that there's a strong luck factor. I bet you can't find anyone on SDG who hasn't been pleasantly surprised to find they got more points than they expected due to some obscure word. |
| molnar | 0 | OK, but slow and not really my thing. |
