Beautifully simple. Endlessly challenging.
Word Forward is an ingenious new word puzzle game you can play solo or with friends via Game Center.
Can you use all of the letters in the 5x5 grid to make words? Touch and drag to spell out words, making those letters disappear. You also can manipulate the board with special modifiers that allow you to replace, swap, jumble and remove letters.
It's just as important to think of the letters you leave behind as the ones you clear - after all you wouldn't want to paint yourself into a corner.

• FIND dictionary words by tracing a line between tiles to spell them out. Tiles can be linked in any direction including diagonally.
• SWAP any two letters on the grid by using a SWAP TOKEN, earned during gameplay.
• REPLACE a letter on the grid with a SPARE from your inventory to make longer words.
• JUMBLE the tiles on the grid to replace all the letters with new ones when all else fails.
• CHANGE the letter on a tile to any other letter you choose using the SWAP MODIFIER.
• ELIMINATE stubborn tiles with BOMBS when you can't make any more words and need to nudge your score over the line.
Word Forward is more fun with friends! Challenge your Game Center friends to a match.

Best word game ever

I found this app years ago, it’s always stays on my phone. Sometimes I forget it’s there until I open it again and play & start playing again, I remember how much l love it. I wish there were more levels.

This game is great.... But i know two words that the game doesn't. Is there a reason why "Risque" and "Mexican" do not work?
Great twist on seek & find!!

This is one of my favorite word games. Ive had it since it was first released, and still play it. The newest update is great! I'm very excited about the new levels. This developer is excellent at listening to users. The previous update getting rid of IAds when you buy any coin package made it just about perfect. New levels?!! Yes! It's so close to perfect. This is in the Essentials list! No question! WordForward is genius because it "feels" familiar, yet is actually a very unique game. That familiar feel makes it much easier to learn. It feels like an old friend, but that's deceptive-- new rules and new objectives make for a whole new game!! Plus it looks really great-- with simple elegance, the minimalist style graphics belie the absorbing complexity of the game. (Thankfully, unlike the current trend in minimalist indie games, this DOES come with instructions! It has a great tutorial and is easy to pick up.) If I had a chat with its developers, for what would I wish? Thanks for asking... My WordForward Wishlist: 1) Well I know the point is to end up with zero. But sometimes I get to zero with bigger words and without using any extras. It would be nice if there was some measure for scoring those big games. I think I am like many who use their prior scores as competitive impetus to replay levels and get an even better scores. Seeing my highest scores and words for the different levels makes me try harder, and would make the game even more replay-able. Maybe having a secondary score to show how many points you eliminated while getting down to zero? 2) I'd love a level with a bigger board and more letters. So you can choose between grid size. This would be especially absorbing on iPad Air or mini. (Maybe it's part of new update already?) That's all. This is a well-polished, well-designed game. And deserves recognition as one of, if not THE top word game of this year! PS: To the person complaining that it didn't allow the word Europe: Europe is a proper noun. Proper nouns, which name unique people, places, things (i.e. Jupiter, America) are not allowed in any word game I've ever played.
