I didn’t realize how much it annoyed me for me to go back and pick and hit another menu and go pick another game.

I can simply take my thumb, swipe and go to the next game. There are fewer steps in getting to other games. And what I mean is I don’t have to go back to a menu and select a game and go to another menu and hit a button. Part of it is also streamlined game play. You and your friends battling it out and pairing up with each other is a big improvement. They also made games for 2-4 players, head to head, 2v2 teams. Now I can spend my time finding the best word instead of being rejected all day… I don’t do well with rejection. Word Chums automatically turns the word green and gives you a point value called a scoring badge and you can see how much it’s worth. And I was really growing tired of being rejected over and over when trying to submit a word for verification. And some of them I didn’t even know that I disliked until I played Word Chums.įirst of all I can verify if a word is real before I submit it. The guys over at PeopleFun took what annoyed me about other word games and they fixed them. And by major I mean they improve the experience by one hundred percent. But upon further inspection there are major changes to the genre of the game. When I first installed Word Chums I immediately noticed some things that may seem trivial when you see them on a press release or someone tells you about them. When I went from Words With Friends and other word games to Word Chums there was no going back. It’s like you went from cassettes to CD’s or home phone landlines to a cell phone or dial-up internet to broadband. Word Chums is like one of the following analogies, so pick the one that applies to you depending upon your age. When I was preparing this review for Word Chums, it hit me.
