Gameplay
Gameplay
In Word Worm, the user forms words from adjacent tiles present in a rectangular grid. The game features two play modes: time trial, in which in the user must earn an increasing number of points in a two-minute interval to advance levels, and free play, where the user advances based on score alone. Bonus points can be earned by forming the bonus word. Similar to Bookworm, longer words, and words formed from less common letters result in more points. In both modes, fire tiles form randomly throughout gameplay. If a word is not formed using the fire tile, it burns through the letter below it. When a fire tile reaches the bottom of the screen, the game is over.
