Good Game Get! Spell Tower

I’m terrible at Scrabble, Words With Friends, and even though I found it totally cool - I’m awful at Quarrel too. Zach Gage isn’t really good at these games either, or at least I would assume so as he hates the genre.

He however is the dude who crafted Spell Tower, a delightfully minimal and easy to pick up word game for iPad. Spell Tower is a mash-up of Tetris and a kinetic crossword puzzle (I.E. like a home brew Boggle).

The game allows you to bend the rules of your normal crossword puzzled by allowing you to do things diagonally, horizontally, and backwardly* - all at the same time. The game’s modes also can give you a let’s just look for words game, or a look for words quickly or die game. The latter is a blast.

And you know, that’s it. It’s just an elegant and simple word game that works and works well.

Gage’s story behind the game is also pretty rad.
