This word search game will boggle your mind. The object is to find as many words* as you can from adjoining letters within the game's time limit. The letters can run vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or "zigzag". The more words, the longer the words, the higher your score will be.

Word ZigZag is the perfect travel game. When playing alone, a player selects the word by tapping the word's 1st letter and gliding his/her finger across the screen over each subsequent letter of the word. Once a word has been selected, the game will determine if it is a valid word*. When playing against friends, players use Word ZigZag as a traditional game board. Players write on paper the valid words that they find on the game board and compare their findings after the time limit.

When a game is done, an alphabetical list of all of the valid words* in the game board will appear so the player can have the chance to see words he/she may have missed.

Players can adjust many of the game settings: dimensions, time limit, the minimum number of letters a word needs before it is consider valid, the scoring system, etc. The dimensions of the game board are NOT restricted to a square: 4x4, 5x5, 6x6. For example, players can adjust the letter grid so it is more rectangular: i.e. 4X6.

If you enjoy playing games like Boggle or Words with Friends, then you will like this game.
