In the spirit of Scrabble and Boggle, Word Assemble challenge those with large vocabularies and a good sense of spacial geometry to maneuver tiles into words on an 8x8 grid with a blank square used for shifting one tile at a time. Skilled players will have to identify unspelled words quickly while keeping in mind the time required to construct words. Players are encouraged to spell larger words with more points, but maximizing score and completing levels can become a demanding, but entertaining compromise to players.

In addition to a practice level, which just allows the players to acquaint themselves with the game, there are three difficulty levels to challenge players of various skill.
