Word-building games you can execute on your computer include scrabble, boggle, and word builder.

With the advancement of the internet, the days are gone when you only have your family or the same group of individuals to play word games with. Today, you can play against other gamers who live in the next town or even those people who are residing halfway around the world.

Scrabble

When it comes to word-building games, scrabble is considered to be an icon. This is a vintage game played by many people for several years now. These days, there are already many computer versions of it. One of which is the highly popular Words with Friends, that is created by Zynga with Friends. Although the game isn't officially associated with scrabble, the guidelines of Words with Friends are very much the same with those of scrabble. Players can play with their opponents on the internet through Facebook. Up to twenty games can even be enjoyed simultaneously, wherein a gamer is just informed for his turn. It is so famous that there are now websites giving Words For Words With Friends, in case a gamer requires help. Aside from a few differences, the game still involves providing each player 7 tiles, that are replenished until all 104 tiles are utilized. Players take turns forming words on the scrabble board, or they can also pass a turn or swap one of their tiles. The game stops when all tiles are utilized or when you made three consecutive scoreless moves, such as making a pass or swapping a tile. The gamer with the highest ranking after the game is the winner.

Boggle

The conventional process of playing Boggle involves shaking a cube having sixteen dices, which have letters printed on them, and letting the dices settle on their cases in the cube randomly. Players write down as many words as they can locate from all 16 dices in horizontal, vertical or diagonal directions within three minutes. Nonetheless, in the computer version of the game, you only have yourself to compete with. Your score is then saved on the web, as well as your username and the flag symbol of your nation. While there's no definite winner on the online version, gamers are motivated to do really well with the game because the names of the top 10 players are shown along with their country's flag. This game is played by clicking on the "start" button. After which, a grid with 16 letters will then show up. You type in the words that you find on the grid and click on the button that says "accept". The game will end after 3 minutes and your rating will be shown, wherein you will also be asked to type in your name. In this web based edition of Boggle, aside from formulating words quickly, gamers will also have to type fast to save time.

Word Builder

Word Builder is a computer word game wherein you also have yourself to play against. In this kind of game, letters appear at the bottom section of the screen one line after another. Your job is to click and link letters to form a word and make those letters fade away from the screen. The challenge here is to find words as quickly as you can before the letters achieve the top of the screen, which will cause the game to end. Moreover, the player is also challenged to find long words for a higher ranking. Your score will also be saved on the internet, wherein you can also locate a list of other top players of the game.

Some online games allow gamers to chat with other participants of the game. They can also ask for tips and advice.
