WordUp! Android Game brings the fun and excitement of the classic Boggle word game to G1 or Android powered phone users. The game is played using a grid of lettered dice, in which players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters. Playable in the traditional 4×4 letter grid or 5×5, rush to get as many words/points as you can against the clock.
Gripe Alert: When playing WordUp! you have to trace the cubes carefully as to not accidentally include the wrong letter. We would suggest the developers add tapp and/or trace options in spelling words as the trace is not as responsive. One workaround we found was; when tracing… try to slightly hold on a letter then quickly slide to the adjacent letter (Rinse and Repeat). Otherwise you would have to trace slowly which could affect your time.
Also a nice feature enhancement would be to save your high score and/or see how you score against other Android users.
If you loved the classic Boggle word game then you’ll love the Android version as it can to be fun and addictive trying to see how many words you can find.

I want to try this one too.
This is a really good game, and a great way to waste a few minutes while in line, waiting for someone, etc. It used to restart randomly every once in a while, but the latest update claims it’s fixed, and so far so good. With that fixed, I think I will buy the premium version.
I wish I could contact the author though, I have some ideas I’d love to see done. (First among them, keep track of missed words over many games, I’d like to see if there are words that pop up a lot, but I miss repeatedly.)
I love this game! As said before it is a great time killer (by the time limit option you can choose how many minutes you want to have killed).
The function to look up words is fantastic to learn new words. (Maybe you recognized by my weird writing that I’m no native speaker of the English language.)
