Features:
Word Soup dumps a massive grid of 9×12 letters at you gem swap gamer style. There are three modes to play in; Relaxed, Timed, and Brain Game (longer words help you stay in the game longer and advanced levels).

Solved words are removed from the grid and all other words on top shift down- changing the puzzle positions. Though not shown, the various colors represent the point values awarded- yellow letters being the least and red letters are the highest. For help you get a couple options as you can tilt your device to slide letters around granted space is free, plus there is a hint and letter shuffle feature along the bottom row next to the pause button. Bonus points are awarded if you can clear the whole board, doing so requires extreme wordie skill.
You get ranked for the longest word, most scoring word, and overall points scored in a game. These you can pit against others online via Scoreloop; the game zealously wants you to share these achievements on Facebook. Other achievements in the game can be had such as raking in words of 50 through 200 point values or making 5 through an insane 15 letter word!
Word Soup is a brightly colored letter jumble affair. The top row houses the current word, score and point total. Along the bottom row is a highlight reminder of your better scored words. The music is similar to a classic game show and you can kill it in the options menu.
