Scramble with Friends

Scramble is another game plucked from Zynga’s popular “…with Friends” series, and I think it is easily the best and most addictive. You have two minutes to try and find as many words in a 4 x 4 grid of letters, a bit like a wordsearch. You can move horizontally, diagonally and vertically in any direction and there are several aids to help you, which can freeze time, shuffle the grid round, and give clues.

Although the free version works well, it is choked by adverts so it’s best to indulge in the paid version, which is only a dollar.
