Word Slinger is my "go to" word game. Lots of fast paced fun if you play the timed version, or take your time and go for strategy with the untimed version. Either way a fun game to play. This is first game I load on a new computer.
-unthawedice
I love Word Slinger! Better than any other word game out and I don't have to wait for a friend to get back to me with the next word. It's the best game ever!
-sgone
A real brain teaser, great fun and uses up those little grey cells. Beating the clock is also great but hard work to keep up. The sense of achievement for both games is so good. Two thoroughly enjoyable thinking games.
-bettyandcy22
Fun game and challenging for those who love working with words. To reach the next level it takes skill and patience.
-jdpearson
Have played this game for several years and never tire of it. You really have to think hard to complete the score, and you learn a lot of new words, some of which seem very improbable. Every game is different so you never know what to expect.
-cononor-conomor
Several years ago, I had Word Slinger on an aging PC and loved playing, averaging at least a half dozen games a night. I returned to Game Fools to again purchase Word Slinger and couldn't be happier! Whether playing the timed or un-timed options, I can get lost in this challenging, enjoyable word game! If you like Scrabble, you'll love Word Slinger!
-sherimmoore1958
I absolutely love this game! It's extremely challenging but keeps me on my toes and my brain functioning at a high level. Once you find yourself addicted to this game as I did, I suggest purchasing it so you can play anywhere and never lose your hard work. It's fun, educational, challenging and perhaps even healthy!
-lilmzdonowrong
I really like this game. It is not too complicated and provides a nice, relaxing experience. It is perfect for spending time with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
-day.im11
I discovered Word Slinger years ago and played it for a couple of years. I lost it and then, a few years later, discovered it again. I love it, I love playing, and I love the challenges of new levels and racing against the time given for each level. Thanks for this!
-lennakay
Word Slinger is a game I have loved for a very long time. Your site is one of the few that have the older games available. I am very much enjoying this game and your site.
-justice.bm
I have loved word games as a vocabulary builder and crosswords since childhood. Now I have the best of both worlds in Word Slinger.
-brbrgrace
This game is a fast-paced experience and a great way to wake up your brain. Try this game once, and it can be very addictive.
-jeanboudreau1956
I recently passed out from dehydration, and my doctor recommended computer games to help restore my mental alertness. This game has been great. I love it. It is fun and smart, and it helps me to think. I recommend this game to anyone who wants to have fun and get help for mental alertness as well.
-Linda.M.Yarbrough
I absolutely love this game. If I can't sleep at night, I get up and play a few games. If I'm stressed out, I play for a while. I have always loved crossword puzzles, but this is beyond that. I have even learned words that I didn't know, so not only is it fun, but it can also be educational. I love trying to make words fit so I can beat a level. What an awesome game! I highly recommend it to all ages. It is great for seniors because it helps work the brain. Both my husband and I love it. It's definitely a keeper.
-v_turner47
This is by far one of my favorite games. It's one of those games that is simple but becomes increasingly more challenging as you play, and it does so gradually, which I really like. It's the kind of game that I can get lost in for a couple of hours and still not feel bored. If you enjoy word games, you should give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
-tellulaw
I first played this with my grandson a few years ago, and he loved it. It was very educational for him as he learned new words and meanings. Until very recently, I hadn't wanted to play games, but it came back to me how good this game is. It never feels old or outdated. You can choose the level you want to start at, and there is also a fast-paced game, which is good fun.
-sandramurgy12
I like this game because it is very addicting. It is very challenging and makes you want to keep playing to see how far you can get. It teaches me to think of many different words and put them in different ways or add to existing words that are already on the board. You definitely need a big vocabulary and good spelling skills. I have played many word games, and this one is by far the most entertaining and fun for me. I really love it!
-1onlysheena35
I love this game. I am already addicted. I love the fact that you can challenge yourself with the speed mode or slow down and just use strategy. I also like the accompanying music. This game can help seniors keep their minds sharp as a tack. I want to play this game every day!
-hesworthy1
I absolutely love this game. It is highly addictive with unlimited play and timed play. It increases my word vocabulary and keeps my mind active. The goal is to fit the words given onto the board like a crossword. I have been playing for 18 months, and it hasn't bored me yet.
-lawjayne1979
I purchased this game from GameFools years ago but lost it when my old desktop crashed. I was very pleased to find it again as I played this game almost every night before I logged off, working my way up several levels on the untimed version. Then, as a challenge, I tried the timed version. I wasn't as successful with that, but it was fun. I am glad to have my old friend back. Try this game. I predict you will like it too, especially if you enjoy Scrabble, Boggle, and other word games!
-fletch3417
This is a great game to keep the mind sharp and pass the time. The ability to play against the clock or simply take your time is a nice option. We all love the challenges offered in the format.
-e4nnis
This game is so much more fun than Scrabble. A great feature is that you can work your way up to more challenging levels. Time flies when you are playing this game. This is a great purchase.
-mytcollies
I stumbled upon the game Word Slinger while looking for a Scrabble game. I signed up to try Word Slinger, and I loved it. I played for almost four hours, getting better and better. My goal for the game was to place as many words as possible. The game continues to add more and more words, and I loved the challenge!
-kjazona
This is a very fun and addictive game. It is a crazy version of Scrabble that you can't stop playing. It has two different styles of play: timed and strategy, which makes it less stressful.
-bee2rush
This is my most favorite game ever. It never gets old, and I never get sick of playing it. I love it. I couldn't tell you how many times I have bought this game because I forget my password or get a new computer. I just have to have this game every time, so I am continuously repurchasing it. That's how much I love it.
-foristmichalean
I loved it until I didn't. At level 56 with 4,040,790 points, I couldn't advance any further, which left me very disappointed. I wanted to re-download the game to continue enjoying it. It took me a moment to realize that all I had to do was dial back the levels using the arrows positioned under the level number. Now I am pleased as a glass of punch that can magically be refilled. This is a great game, lots of fun, and good for the brain!
-sredips
This is the best fun word game to play on your computer. It is very challenging and helps you use your brain to get to the next levels. I need more games like this. I also think it's time for some new time management games to come out as well. You seem to have stopped producing them.
-maryannehodgman007
This is an awesome game. I play it for hours. I am so glad I was able to download the full version to my laptop.
-k-csmommy
Calls for concentration and creativeness. Word recognition and expertise makes it challenging and fun.
-egarnett
Challenge is the word for this game. Be ready to be baffled and confused to the point that you can't quit playing.
-toddhood66
I tried this game online for free and could not get enough of it. I finally had to purchase it, and it is addictive, to say the least.
-erieseawitch
I like everything about it. The color and the music take me to another world. I have been playing a lot for many years.
-boulabel
This word game really gets you thinking about vocabulary. It keeps your brain working.
-kellielavigne
I love word games in general, but this one is by far my favorite. If you're a crossword puzzle fan, and even if you're not, it's a great game.
-mkmartin26
I really like this game. It helps pass the time and is challenging. I have always liked word games, and this is a good one.
-lbarnell
I love this game. It gives you new words and teaches spelling. I would recommend this game for anyone who loves word challenges and learning.
-dorismurie29
Word Slinger is a great game that continues to increase in difficulty. It is a very addictive game with more levels than you could possibly complete. It is well worth playing.
-darrenarmani2018
I found this game to be really interesting. It is fun trying to find the best match for the available words. I also enjoyed seeing words that were new to me and discovering their meanings in another medium. I had enjoyable hours playing it.
-elwickau
I love the challenges of this game. It's great that words can be flipped to the vertical position before placing them on the board. I wish a flipped word could also be inverted for even more flexibility. I prefer the untimed game since there is no time crunch. The dictionary could be expanded to accept words that other games already accept. The quick game is great to unwind when time is short, such as right before work. Being able to put the cursor on a letter on the board and then see all words in the list that contain that letter is very helpful. This game helps keep the mind sharp and is satisfying, especially when I can finish a level and move on to the next one.
-wordprodesign
I love this game and play it almost every day. You need to think ahead to some degree, and I enjoy that particular challenge.
-jcj1145
I wish there were easy and hard options. I am addicted to it, though. It provides great end-of-day relaxation.
-lizearl82
I love this game so much. It takes strategy and thought, but I have a good time. I am not brave enough to try the timed option, but I am sure I will get there soon.
-loricrane22.22
I love this game! Thank you for still sponsoring it. I really enjoy playing this, as I used to have it when it first came out. I am really happy to have it again.
-islandmomx2
I love this game. It works very well on my PC. I wish they had a version for Apple and Android. I have played for several years on PC, both at work and at home. If they have a game similar to it, I would get it.
-gretapbutterscotch
This game is by far my favorite game of all time and I am so happy I own it now. It's super challenging for crossword lovers and I highly recommend it.
-cyndep19
I love this game! I had it on my old computer, but I lost it when I got a new one. Then I found it on Amazon. I am very glad I did, as I was up to level 65 before I lost it. I would like to get it on my tablet, but I don't want to buy it again.
-2jansplace
I love this game so much that I bought it in English. I am now at the 67th level. At the beginning, it is a bit difficult and frustrating, but once you get started, I am unstoppable.
-sabre2424
This was my favorite game for years. I lost it in a computer crash and couldn't find a replacement until now. Thanks to GameFools, I am back to enjoying my favorite game of Word Slinger. Try it. I bet you will love it too!
-jgwtx1940
I love this game. It is very challenging. I could play this game for hours without stopping. It keeps my brain sharp. It is a great game. I wish there were no limits.
-nutz4disney1
I love trying to make the puzzle as tight and complex as I can. The hints and discards provide some flexibility.
