I enjoyed the trial and the timer didn't bother me. The words I missed I don't think I would have figure out even if there wasn't a timer. Never heard of them.

I didn't like the limited dictionary either. I play Word Cube a lot, and that accepts every word in the regular dictionary. This one doesn't, so it's a bit of time wasted.

I wondered about the reuse of the clues since most of these games seem to be limited. I'm glad I read that the clues repeat themselves so soon, because that means I won't be buying this game.

Well I like the game mostly. I don't much care for the sub-game though. I just like finding the words and such. The fixing the drill and the bonus games, the thing where you have to find the gold words or your contraption breaks, no thanks.
Just like plain word whomp I guess. Timer doesn't bother me on this type game cause without it, well, you could just go forever on one level.

Guess I'll have to try to find text twist. Same concept without the gophers and sub-games.

I've been a member of POGO for about 5 years now, I love the Word Whomp games. Word Whomp, Word Whomp Wackdown. There is a time limit, but you earn extra time with each word you spell and several words will give you 20 extra seconds on the clock so you don't have to feel pressure at getting them all as quick as possible. Plus you don't need to spell all the words everytime to advance. The one thing I am not liking about it is it doesn't matter if you get all the words if you don't click on fix drill then go back it ends the game and you have to start the whole level over again. Several times I've gotten all the words 4 or 5 times in a row and the gopher hasn't crossed the wire all the way. That irks me. Now I'm going to go and buy it, because I love the game more than the little things that irk me. Plus it offers something new to a classic game.

I have Bookworm Adventures too but haven't played it in a looooong time, thanks for the reminder

I ADORED Bookworm Adventures! Correct me if I'm wrong, but pretty sure no timer on that one. In fact, the longer word you made the better you did, as opposed to quick make any short word because times running out. Would love to see a sequel to that.

Never mind. It just took BF 15 minutes to update the site after midnight. WhooHoo! I love Word Whomp. It was one of my first PC games. I don't care about the timer since it's not a problem for me. I have played Bookworm & Word Whomp so many times I can spell words I still don't know the meaning of.

I would rather have had this as a community game not a download, if I am going to frustrate myself finding words (half of which dont really count as proper WORDS) I would at least like tokens for it.

I really like this game & bought it. It is easier then the first Word Whomp and has more to it to keep it from getting repetitious. It has an easy, medium and hard mode. I feel the timer is a lot more generous then in the 1st WW and have not had any problems with it yet, but I am still playing easy mode (since I haven't played WW in quite a while). It does have a glitch for me. Every time I start the game it takes me 10 minutes of tweaking to get the video acceleration to turn off. It runs like caca with it on.

One of the very first PC games I played (on-line) was Word Whomp. I had a hard time getting all the words completed in a round before running out of time (and that was on easy mode). I kept playing the game every night (nothing else to do back then) and in no time I was whizing through medium mode and doing fairly well on hard mode.

TIP: When the letters come up to spell words, start with the first letter and make all the words you can that start with that letter. Then move onto the 2nd letter and make all the words you can starting with that letter, etc., etc. If there is 1 or more "S's" in your tray, always remember to add an S at the end of most words already completed. If you see the letters E/D or E/R or I, N, G in your tray (especially if you also have double T's, L's, O's, etc.), then you can almost bet your biggest word will end with ed, er or ing.
Example.... breed - breeder - breeding. sue - suer - sued. The letters L & Y usually come at the end also. love - loves - lovely - lover - loved - loving. Many times you can make several words out of the original

I didn't notice that. Which words are not proper words?

I only bought this because I thought you earned tokens by playing it - now I see that you don't. On the pogo site - it shows tokens by this game.

You only get the tokens if you download it from Pogo...Guess thats because it't there game...They have quite a few downloadable games like that...
