Comments: PhD or high school dropout, Flip Words is guaranteed to stretch your brain to its limits and improve your vocabulary.

While the "hangman" part of the game seems limited, the internal dictionary seems endless. As a bonus, if you get stuck trying to form a word from the available letters, you can jump from one letter to the next; and the game actually shows you if you've made a valid word. (Did you know THYMUS is a word?)

The graphics are simple, not overwhelming. The focus is on the game play, itself. The sounds are mercifully simple and play only when a word is formed, and at the beginning and ending of a round. It's easy to grasp the concept of the game, but you'll spend hours, days, weeks perfecting your strategies. Highly addictive. Buy this game! You'll be smart if you do, and smarter after you play.
