BoggWords – Word Game

Available In: App Store       Price: $0.99

I remember spending many a day shaking up the letters, setting the timer and going to work find words. BoggWords is a word game along the same lines as Boggle.

The thing that sets this game apart from other “Boggle” type games are the Objectives. Throughout the games, you are able to complete objectives. Each time you complete an object, it is marked off the list of possible objectives and brings you one step closer to unlocking games. [Read more…]
