Editorial Reviews
If you like word scrambles then Every Word is the game for you. Test your vocabulary as you try to find as many words from the scrambled letters in this fun and fast-paced word game.
You are given six or seven scrambled letters with the goal of finding as many words as you can. You score points by filling out the words in each empty spot on the board using only the letters that appear at the top of the game board. Keep at it until time runs out or until you fill up the board. The more words you make, the higher your score!
Your score is comprised of two components: first make a lot of words, second try to make the longest word possible. The best way to increase your score is to do both. Why? Because when you do, you earn the right to play a new level with a brand new set of letters. As long as you keep finding the longest word, you can move on to a new level and push your score higher and higher.
Please note: Every Word may contain content inappropriate for children.

***Update I see in some of the reveiws that people are mad that the games description does not tell you that it will not work on K1 or any of the apps. This is true, however the page does let you know this on the "Available on these devices" link under the price. If you click on it you will see neither the K1 or apps listed**
I am better at this than I usually am!

Every word counts and that's a good thing. Know what, it's free and that's another good thing
Most of us have Kindles because we like/love to read. That implies we're word people. This is a word game and it's hard to resist. So download and give it a go.
There's no downside other than the fact you'll need to practice moderation. I wish I could find something to say that I'd like to see improved, but can't think of a thing. Keeps the mind working and that's a good thing.
So far, I've topped out at 1280. So that's the score to beat. Go for it.
The graphics look pretty sophisticated on both games. This tells me that Kindle's amazing capacities still have a lot of unexplored riches to be discovered. The game works very fast, doesn't require wireless, and is lots of fun.
I hope the owners of Kindle 1 soon get access to these games as well. It would be wrong for Amazon to abandon the early adopters of the device.
Great Game But Wipes letters off Kindle Keys!
Always a favorite word game of mine!
Easy to play though challenging - can pick up and put down quickly
- It is easy to play. The directions are not complicated.
- It is a challenge. The premise is simple but it is a mind tease to think of all the variations.
- The words are alphabetized which is helpful as this in itself can be instructive for filling in the blanks (i.e. a 3 letter blank between "ART" and "EAT" tells you that the first two letters are AR or higher, but lower than EAT... so EAR would be one example that would fit the blank.
- The interface is simple and works well. Tip-if you press the space bar, the last word you typed reappears to make input faster. So, you can reload "MAKE", add an "S", and quickly input "MAKES".
- The graphics are interesting. They did a nice job providing a visually rich context.
- It is fun way to pass a few minutes (or much longer - warning this can become addictive). So if you are stuck in line, you can easily pick up where you left off while paying attention to the world around you. I find this harder to do with a book.
My only suggestion for improvement is to link the words to a dictionary to make looking up the oddball ones quick and easy. I would like to be able to click on the word and see its definition.
BEWARE wears away the letters on the kindle
the reason why i came on here to write a review, and only give it 3 stars, is that after an hour or so of play the letters on the kindle wore off. i know that this has nothing to do with the actual game itself, but as a game created for the kindle i think it applies.
as it turns out, the kindle is just not made to be played with. i can't seem to find a solution to repair my brand-new kindle and i am very disappointed that after owning it only a few days i can no longer see the letters on the buttons. i will have to delete this game to keep from further damage and use my kindle only for reading.
I loved my Kindle when I just carried books around in it. Now, I can stretch my brain, too.
Maybe "Many Words" a better title
I found the same problems with the "Shuffled Row" game (which I also like).
I hope there will be future versions of both games with larger, improved dictionaries.
I think it was a great idea to have some word games for Kindle and both this and Shuffle Row are fun and get more challenging as you go along. My husband was playing as well. Thanks Amazon for the free games.
This game is a good treat for the word game players out there!
Good game, great if you're a serious Scrabble player
Every Word title is misleading
It is very distracting to input a word that you know exists, like saute for instance, only to be told that it is not on the board, then you turn around and put in "duh" and it accepts it as a word. I spend a lot of time going back and forth between the game and the dictionaries on the Kindle. I must admit that I have learned a number of new words, but that does not allay my aggravation when I finally have to give up on a round with only 1 word left to finish that round, then find that last "word" is a made up word.
I understand that the game is free and I have had a lot of enjoyment from it, I just need to vent my frustration with these aggravating aspects of the game.
Addictive and fun to do with family!
1) You play thru level 10. Nothing beyond that. (I'd prefer to play until I lose, rather than just 10 levels, but it's still fun to try to beat my previous score.)
2) I sometimes get the same words in a game, which is great for someone who's like, "dang, I missed that word?!" :) You can get it the next time.
Some possible improvements to another edition of the game:
1) Let us play past level 10.
2) Add in a dictionary - sometimes I'm like, "that's a word?" but would have to exit the game to go look it up.
Otherwise, a really great game for the word-game beginner or guru!
Every Word is addictive and fun
There are two main ways to play: timed or not timed. I prefer not timed since I am more interested in what words I come up with rather than try to play Beat The Clock. I have completed 5 games so far, my current goal is to finish a game with every level completely filled in. So far I'm up to 8 perfect levels (out of ten) in one game. Some levels are easier than others, the one I just finished was very difficult but had many interesting and long words (long words award the highest points). You are given a hint for words not found as found words are displayed in alphabetical order. So if you are wondering what other words are left to find, check between letters in the found words columns. Nothing says you can't experiment, no lost points for making an invalid word, it is just ignored. I don't consider this a cheat since some words are obscure ones.
Be sure to use the NEXT PAGE button for scrambling the leftover letters and the SPACE BAR for putting back the last word formed. These shortcuts can save time, for example if an "S" is in the list, if you formed a valid word, after it has been entered press the SPACE BAR and add "S" (if the word has a valid plural). Sometimes looking over the list of letters proves fruitless so a shuffling of the letters is helpful. You can also do a partial shuffling if you have already entered some letters and want to shuffle what's left.
Hey, the price is right - $0.00, so don't delay if you like word games at all, you should like this one. I didn't give it 5 stars since there are other more complex word games available in the world. But I think this ranks fairly high for what it is and for the Kindle.
-Anomynous
like an open bag of potato chips, it keeps calling you back..
Any "buy" it you will not be sorry!
Great fun when you should be reading
My kids and I have always amused ourselves with quick games of hangman, but this is enthralling.
We're hunched over the Kindle for an hour sometimes, working on the last several stumpers.
No matter, there's always time to read later. Right now I've got 3 words left that are driving me nuts!
Gotta go.
Free, Fun, Portable.....what's not to love?
Besides that.... A REALLY FUN AND ENTERTAINING GAME!

You don't have to leave the wireless on to play it, and unlike some other games I have tried on the Kindle it also works EXTREMELY well in the Kindle environment.
Another feature I like in games is that they be super easy to play. This one fits the bill. I don't want the actual game to be easy, just the way you go about playing it. Nothing kills my interest in a game more then having the learning curve on how to work the game be harder than the game itself.
Nice graphics in this one as well.
Sometimes after I finish a book I'm not ready to jump right into another, or it is getting too late at night to start another. Playing these games will be a nice filler, especially in the situation where it is just to distracting to read.
Nice Job!
