Best Android Word Games

Let's dive into the games!

Wordscapes

A captivating blend of word search, crossword, and Boggle elements. While not the most original, it's perfect for quick, satisfying word puzzles.

Baba Is You

While debated, we consider Baba Is You a word game due to its unique gameplay. Use lateral thinking to rearrange words that define the level's rules. "Baba is you," but what if "Rock is you?" It's a wonderfully inventive and experimental experience.

Anagraphs

This ingenious game leverages the upside-down similarities of certain letters. Flip letters to create more words, making for a unique and clever word puzzle.

Words for a Bird

From puzzle game master Bart Bonte, this creative and original word game is as elegant and innovative as his other titles, though with a different theme.

Typeshift

From Noodlecake (creators of the excellent SpellTower), Typeshift is a simple yet compelling anagram puzzler. Slide letters up or down to form words within neat rows.

Sticky Terms

While bending the definition of a word game, Sticky Terms is a unique shape-matching puzzle where you assemble shapes into untranslatable words—terms existing only in one language.

Bonza Word Puzzle

More clever than its name suggests, this elegant game challenges you to arrange text chunks into words. The numerous configurations and themed stages make it surprisingly difficult.

Boggle With Friends

A polished, fun (though sometimes irritating) mobile version of the classic Boggle board game, offering multiplayer competition and various features.

Scrabble GO

Similar to Boggle With Friends, Scrabble GO provides a colorful and accessible Scrabble experience with various modes and features (and the typical free-to-play elements).

Word Forward

Despite the familiar anagram format, Word Forward showcases originality and depth within its 5x5 grid of letters.

Sidewords

Offering a variety of puzzle formats, Sidewords is more of a logic puzzle than a strict word game, but its hundreds of puzzles are engaging and well-designed.

Letterpress

A two-player word game where you claim territory on a 5x5 grid by playing words. Its simple facade hides surprisingly deep tactical gameplay.

Words Of Wonder

A visually appealing crossword game that challenges you to unlock the secrets of world wonders while expanding your vocabulary.
