Bookworm Deluxe from Popcap
Are you ready to 'eat your words'?
Then grab yourself a copy of BookWorm, our brand new word game smash! The Deluxe downloadable version includes all-new graphics, sound, and music... plus the brand new Action mode, Diamond and Sapphire tiles, local and internet high scores, and more! All you have to do is form words to feed Lex the Bookworm!
Bookworm Goal
The goal of Bookworm is to make words to feed the hungry Bookworm, while watching out for burning letters that could ignite your library!
There are two game types: Classic and Action. But the basics remain the same for both... click on tiles to link them together into words, then hit Submit to clear them from the board.
Interface Tips
You can also Submit a word by double-clicking quickly on the last letter.
If you change your mind and want to deselect a letter in a word, just click on it a second time. Or, you can just click on a letter not adjacent to your word and the focus will switch to that one.
Right clicking will also deselect any letters you have selected.
You can also create a word by clicking and dragging a path... click on the first letter and hold the mouse down, then move the cursor over the letters in the word you want to make. When you're over the final letter, release the mouse button. If it's valid word, it will automatically be submitted!

Gameplay Basics
In both game types, the basic interface is the same. You must create words by linking letters on the board together. To select a letter, just click on it. Then select another letter adjacent to the first, and then another one adjacent to that, until you have formed a word of at least 3 letters. When you have a valid word, click the Submit button and it will be removed from the screen.
You can tell if your word is valid by looking at the sidebar... if there is a point value under your word, the game accepts it as a real word.
Letters must be adjacent, and you can't backtrack... small green arrows will show you the 'path' of the word you're creating.
