Dropwords is word-finding puzzle that combines some elements of Scrabble and Boggle. Valid words boost your score and the dwindling timer; used letters disappear and new ones drop from above.
The game includes six game modes: Normal, Hard, Lightning, Blocker, Relax and Untimed. Whether you just want to relax, or are looking for something challenging, there's a game mode that will suit you.
The game offers three dictionaries:
1. Scrabble: contains all the 2-to-8-letter words from the SOWPODS list of Scrabble competition words. This amounts to 114575 words, including both US and UK spellings. Because this is a Scrabble dictionary, proper nouns like "June" or "Rome" are not included. Plurals are included.
2. Webster's: based on the Webster's New International Dictionary, 2nd Edition, this contains 87416 2-to-8-letter words. Includes some proper nouns, but not plurals or Scrabble-specific words (such as my own favourite, "QI"!). I have added certain words that seemed to be missing in error: BOX, HAS, KID, NEAR.
3. Both! The combination of the Scrabble and Webster's dictionaries, comprising 153136 words. This is the dictionary used by default.
You can switch dictionary via the game's Options dialog.
Includes optional access to PapayaMobile's social network, global leaderboards, and achievements!
Have fun!
* Note to Samsung Galaxy S2 owners: there is a known fault with this dual-core phone where sound playback can cause crashes and/or freezes. Please ensure the game's "Mute sound" option is ticked (in the Options dialog, accessible from the highscores screen). *
Coming soon:
1. Make the Save Game/Abandon Current Game sequence slicker by allowing the player to just press "Back" to auto-save and drop back to the highscores screen.
2. Get the game to auto-save when it gets backgrounded (by the player switching tasks/taking a call).
3. More themes.
4. "Undo" option.
5. "Bomb Drop" game mode.

I could not stop playing for the first two months I had this app. An all time favorite puzzle game in my book. A top 5 best free app easily.

Used to love it. Latest update ruined it. List all scores and ties to a dumb web site. Please return to the basic program and don't lose scores!

Enjoyed playing; easy customizations available. May have been coincidence while playing on day of installation, phone was forced to close a couple of times and game was closed by message to enable data -- apparently to download another ad to display on the game. Will try again and hope for better results. Optimus V)

Love the app, but do agree that pre upgrade was better. Does accept many bogus words and doesn't accept a lot of actual ones. All in all great fun!

Nice game. Enjoy it. Wish it would save or pause a game when you quit. Like to play it while I am waiting and when I have to stop everything is lost. The only bummer.

This is a fun game that I really liked. However, latest update is irritating you with Papaya link, with long legal terms & conditions. Uninstalled it!

This could be AMAZING if the dodgy words were erased from it... I found it to accept almost any constanant followed by a vowel as a 2 letter word.

Tries to log on to papaya network way too much. Beworded is a must better game...Uninstall

Was addicted before the papaya update. Now it's a pain. Slower and papaya is annoying. Going to uninstall.
