Popcap Bookworm Free Game Online
The game penalizes you with MORE fire tiles, if you keep your words to just 3 letter tiles, so it's a constant challenge to make longer words! I have not yet tried the other Bookworm games, so I can't currently speak for those. However, if you love Scrabble and other word games, Bookworm Deluxe is the perfect addition to your word game collection.
My favourite of the PopCap Bookworm game series is the Bookworm Deluxe game.
Purely for its simple and highly addicting word game play!
Though I also enjoy the Bookworm Adventures game too.
Below you’ll find details of this fun word game.
Which is simple to play and great for adults and kids too.
As a quick but easy to play word game.
With cute graphics, sound effects and animated gameplay.
Bookworm Deluxe Full Version – Game Summary
Bookworm Deluxe is the updated version of Bookworm 1.
The aim of the game is to link as many letter tiles as possible. To spell out the best words for the most points. The cute bookworm sitting in the library (see picture) is Lex, and he’s hungry. You have to feed him with the words you form. And the longer the better to fill his tummy!
As well as trying to earn big points. You’ll need to keep an eye out for tiles that are alight. As left alone and these tiles will end up burning down the library. And then it’s game over. This Bookworm game has turn-based play. And two game modes – untimed and timed.
This is a nice little word game. That is both challenging and fun. And good for kids and adults too!

Bookworm is a word-forming puzzle video game by PopCap Games. From a grid of available letters, players connect letters to form words. As words are formed, they are removed from the grid and the remaining letters collapse to fill the available space. Players earn more points by creating longer words or words which use less common letters and earn less for smaller words. In November 2006, PopCap Games released a sequel, Bookworm Adventures. Bookworm was released for the Nintendo DS digital distribution service DSiWare on November 30, 2009.[2] It has also been released on the regular Nintendo DScartridge.[3]
Gameplay[edit]
Free Bookworm Deluxe Full Version
The game requires players to match adjacent letters to form word in the English language. Longer words are worth more points and have a greater chance of producing bonuses.
3 Idiots (2009) - Hindi Bollywood - Aamir Khan & Kareena Kapoor Khan. Watch 3 idiots online.
In addition to standard letters, tiles of various colors can appear depending both on the current level within the game and on the length of words being formed. The tile colors are as follows:
- Red Burning Tiles – Throughout the game, burning red letters appear, increasing in frequency at higher difficulty levels. These letters automatically move downwards, burning through letters below them in the column, until they reach the bottom of the grid, ending the game. In the Classic mode, they burn down one level after each turn, and the game ends once the burning tile reaches the bottom. In the Action mode, they automatically appear and burn down a level every few seconds, and if a burning tile gets to the bottom, the player must clear the burning tile within ten seconds, otherwise, the game ends.
- Green Tiles, Gold Tiles, Sapphire Tiles, and Diamond Tiles- These tiles are awarded to indicate skill in forming longer words. Using these tiles in subsequent words increase the number of points earned by the word. It takes progressively longer for burning tiles to burn through the higher value tiles (a green tile takes two turns to burn through, and a gold takes three). Green tiles enter the board from the top, as new regular tiles do, while higher-value bonus titles replace random letters already on the board.
The game has two modes. 'Classic' mode is untimed, while 'Action' mode uses randomly appearing burning tiles to create a time-limited game.
If the player clicks on game mascot Lex, found off to the side of the play area, all of the tiles will be scrambled; however, this will produce a rush of red tiles.
Additional points are given for bonus words displayed in the game; additional bonus words formed during a single game produce increasing bonus values. In some versions one can also collect and complete 'books' which are groups of words in a similar category. Once one completes the first of any of these words in a particular category it unlocks the book, and displays a complete list of the words needed to complete the book and get bonus points.
Reception[edit]
The editors of Computer Gaming World presented Bookworm with their 2003 'Puzzle Game of the Year' award. They wrote, 'PopCap's ultimate achievement is in taking simple elements that anyone can learn and turning them into raging, overwhelming obsessions. It's something commercial games with 50 times the budget (hey, Deus Ex 2!) often can't match.'[4]
