A free word game comes to WP7 this week

A free Windows Phone 7 title is this week's release. Wordament is an update to an indie title giving it Xbox Live functionality and of course, achievements. Keep in mind some of these achievements are pretty tough.

Wordament (WP) - FREE

The hit Windows Phone 7 game- now with Xbox LIVE! Come play the game that thousands are playing, earn achievements and compete against friends and frenemies alike on the Leaderboards.

This version is loaded with new features including:
- A completely updated visual design with beautiful backgrounds
- By Request- ‘Contains’- reveal every word a tile makes up on the results screen
- Guest Mode- let someone else play, without compromising your stats
- Multiple Languages- Currently UI only, but watch our blog for information on updates
- Now with sounds! (Optional in the options menu)
- Performance Improvements
- Much, much more!

Wordament® is a unique kind of word game—a word tournament—where you are competing with the whole internet to be the best word searcher in every game. Every player is competing on the same board, in real-time, to get the highest score. Will you be the Wordament champion?

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer! Tap names in the results list to add them to your personal list of Frenemies™, which is shown at the end of every game. Your Xbox LIVE friends will be automatically added!

Wordament features unique, highly playable games. Every board is guaranteed to have over 100 possible words, and every tile is playable. Our dictionary is tuned to help you find the most common words you missed. We also have themed games, like Digrams, where we introduce a simple, but fun secondary goal of using a two-letter tile in as many words as possible.

User interface available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Swedish. Game boards remain in English. Watch our blog for details on new languages coming soon.

How you play and how you win is up to you!

Free you say? Interesting..what's the catch? Surely, with all the game discounts and now a freebie, you aren't trying to suggest Microsoft is trying to make the Windows Phone a competitive mobile operating system?

If you are a completionist and not good at words games do not start this game. Word of warning ;)


Also the achievement for being in the top 250 players will not be active for 2 weeks.

It was time to get a Windows phone a year and a half ago...

Seriously though, I just upgraded from a Dell Venue Pro to the new Nokia Lumia 900 and the Nokia is a GREAT handset. If you can live without 87 shades of sepia (Instagram) the new WP7 phones are a no-brainer.

I'm in two minds about starting this one...
Looking at the achievement list I would probably be lucky to get 50% which will hammer my completion percentage. And it would really hamper my quest to get to 90%... :(
I like what I like and I don't what I don't.

This game is like crack to me. A real-time word game that shows you how bad you suck versus the people who are cheating...still makes me wana play more, oddly enough. But seriously...when the #1 player has a third as many words as the following 14...somebody's worried about their ability to create words on their very own. Tsk tsk

Tsk tskI don't know how it's really possible to cheat at this game. You could have a word generator but you still have to locate them in the grid yourself. By the time you messed about with all that your 2 mins is almost up. No, I just think there's a lot of clever people out there.

Myself, I absolutely adore this game. It's the only game I've played in a long time that has that 'one more' factor. I literally have to force myself to put it down. And to all the people complaining about the achievements being tough, Jesus isn't that the whole point!?!
Does this smell like chloroform to you?
