Get Bookworm Deluxe FREE with GamePass
I am addicted to this game. Both my kids sit and watch me play, root me on to the next level and ask what a word means. I have also been known to stay up late and play on own or “compete” with another homeschool mom I know.
Oh- and if kids want to play they can take a turn too 
I am ADDICTED to Bookworm Deluxe, from Popcap Games , also the makers of my online game addiction 2003, Insaniqurium , and addiction 2004 Zuma . You can play free online with non-deluxe version and then for a few hours in trial version or buy they PC version with some expanded play. I believe you can download and buy online.
If you or your kids enjoy Boggle or Scrabble they will love this game. Bookworm is sort of like Boggle , with a few twists. There are “burning” tiles which can set fire to your whole library if you don’t use the words quickly in a word, bonus pints for getting certain words and of course ever more points and higher ranking. My highest so far is something called ” Glossary-phoger” and 280,000 points. My best words have been BOWER for 3500 points and longest HEARING. Word I am MOST proud of is ” QUEUES”
Please feel free to brag and share strategy here!

I like to feature a book for adults/parents and another that younger people/kids/teens would enjoy. I have a couple of books im mind but thought that readers may have a book they would love to share with us and I will make it “books of the month” to suggest.
If you could just post the title, author and brief reason why you want to suggest that would be great!
Just post in the comments/leave reply section.
