More Word Games

Speaking of word-nerdiness, working on Another Word Game started me on a slippery slope of word games, both playing them and creating them. The two latest games are offshoots of AWG, but different enough to be fun in their own right.
BUNGLE: Essentially, this combines Boggle game play, Scrabble scoring, and the tile replacement of Another Word Game. Oh, and it's timed. Like AWG, this is written in Java.

WORDOMANIA Based on the popular (and addictive) clickomania game, this is a puzzle word game similar to AWG. The object is to use as many of the initial tiles as possible. When one is used, it disappears and everything above it drops down. Once an entire column is used, everything to the right of it will slide left. This is written in Javascript, so even if Bungle and AWG didn't work, this should (although with a slightly higher chance for browser non-compatibility). Check out the screen shot.

Thanks again to those folks that helped work the kinks out by taking the time to test these. If you have any questions or encounter any bugs, let me know.

Seriously, I care about you Wren, you need help. I think you should try going for a full day without using any words over three syllables before it's too late. Although, I guess that's just another word game challange for you. It may be too late. At least spend some quality time with Jule or Andrew, that oughtta help a little.

wordomania doesn't rank high scores, it ranks low scores.

Thanks to everyone who has played these games. It has been so much fun watching the high score list. Almost too fun, some might say.

Hey, Wren, wait just a minute. Are you out there watching us closet Bungle players? How do you know about those high scores? I didn't post mine because I didn't want to discourage any of you young'uns.
