Just one more level, just one more level...

Right off, let me tell you that the only reason I knocked off a star was because the dictionary this game operates with is missing a lot of ordinary words. Imagine my surprise when it didnt recognize the word spate. If an update provides a better, more extensive dictionary, Ill revise this review and give it the five stars it deserves.

But aside from that issue, this is one helluva word game. My idea of addictive is to want to play just one more level, just one more level even when I should be off doing something else, and boy, does Jumbline 2 deliver on that score. Thus far, Ive only played the Classic Mode, so this review is based on that.

Some people may find the play very easy because theyre good at quickly visualizing all the words that can be made out of a group of 5, 6, or 7 letters; however, I am not one of them. In fact, I was quite surprised at how head-scratchingly puzzling a group of letters can be when youre trying to extract a whole stack of 3- and 4-letter words from it (making a word using all of them is definitely easier), and thats why I play the untimed mode. However, theres a timer for the rest of you fast thinkers :)

Although you can advance to the next level once youve unscrambled the longest word, part of the fun is trying to get every last word available (see pictures 2 and 3 above) for extra points, especially when theres a long column of them. Got em all, woo-hoo!

If you like words, this will be a game youll play often, and part of its charm is that you can play it one or two levels at a time... if you can tear yourself away!
