It\u2019s hard to put your finger on it, but there\u2019s something particularly compelling about a good word game. From the simplicity of crosswords and Scrabble, to new challenges like Wordle, it seems the human mind is built to enjoy playing with language. But while most mobile games come from the app store, word games are a bit more of a mixed bag. Typically simple, many of the best ones just work in a browser – you can play them from pretty much any device. Which are the best? We\u2019ve listed five firm favourites in our best mobile word games guide.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on Twitter or Facebook, it\u2019s almost impossible that you\u2019ll have missed the meteoric rise of Wordle – a simple daily word game. As Wordle caught on, players shared the cryptic looking yellow and green block patterns that show how you\u2019ve done on that day\u2019s challenge. Curiosity about these enticed ever more people to give the game a go.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet played it, Wordle involves trying to guess a five-letter word in no more than six turns. You start with a blank slate, enter your first guess word, and the game responds by telling you whether you guessed any letters correctly (yellow), and whether they\u2019re in the right place (green). Use the feedback to refine your guess, try to avoid pitfalls, and with luck you\u2019ll get the answer before you run out of attempts.<\/p>\n

Wordle\u2019s difficulty is perfectly judged such that you\u2019ll solve it almost every day, and typically in only around five minutes. But even though there\u2019s only one word a day, the game tracks your history on a specific device – use the same phone every day and you\u2019ll get stats to show how you\u2019re doing over time.<\/p>\n

Simple, addictive, but not too much of an effort, Wordle makes an almost perfect short diversion. However, it\u2019s not all that satisfying if you prefer longer, harder challenges.<\/p>\n

If you love Wordle, but maybe find it a little easy, you\u2019ll probably enjoy Quordle. This browser-based game works in exactly the same way as the hugely popular original, with the twist that you\u2019re trying to solve four five-letter words at the same time. You have nine guesses to do it, which sounds like plenty, but often proves otherwise.<\/p>\n

Quordle requires slightly different tactics to Wordle, with your first few guesses likely to focus on ruling in or out as many letters as possible. Sometimes your early breakthroughs give way to stalemate as you burn through repeated guesses, and sometimes inspiration (or luck) strikes and you\u2019ll solve all four words with guesses to spare.<\/p>\n

This game offers a slightly more in-depth take on the Wordle experience. While solving Wordle sometimes feels anticlimactic, using logic to scrape through Quordle in nine guesses can make you feel like a genius. Like Wordle, it\u2019s free and there\u2019s just one game a day – it\u2019s a decent diversion on a coffee break or over lunch.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever played Scrabble, you know how to play Words With Friends. Available for Android, iOS and other platforms including Facebook, it\u2019s a tile-based word game for two players, following very similar rules to the classic.<\/p>\n

You can play by yourself in solo mode, but the fun comes with challenging friends or others to a match. Play more, win more, and you\u2019ll find tougher opponents to give you a real mental workout.<\/p>\n

Because Words With Friends uses a smaller board than Scrabble, it can fast become challenging to place words. While that\u2019s part of the fun, we\u2019re less keen on the app\u2019s adverts, which are frequent and intrusive. Although you can subscribe to disable them, it\u2019s not clear how to do it from the app. Even with them gone this still isn\u2019t a particularly relaxing game – its cartoonish noises and animations might not be to everyone\u2019s taste. And while the countless goals, rewards and challenges help to \u2018gamify\u2019 the whole experience, some players will find it all a bit too arcadey.<\/p>\n

If the arcadey nature of Words With Friends is a turnoff, you\u2019ll probably be disappointed by this official Scrabble game. While the original, no frills board game is in there, you\u2019ll need to barge past loads of intrusive messaging and the offer of multiplayer games with strangers before you get near it. That wouldn\u2019t be so bad, but even while you\u2019re playing you\u2019ll still get nagged to start other games with random people.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a shame, because it detracts from the experience that many Scrabble players would want – a no frills, device-based version of the classic board game. Happily there\u2019s still plenty to like in this app, including multiplayer games against friends, and a solo game against computer opponents with a choice of difficulty levels.<\/p>\n

There are some omissions, though – you can\u2019t play a solo game against more than one computer opponent. We also would have liked an in-person mode, where you could pass a single device around between multiple players. All the same, this is as close as you\u2019ll get to proper Scrabble on a mobile device, and it\u2019s not bad if you ignore the distractions.<\/p>\n

The best word games combine wordplay with addictive game mechanics, and none do it more convincingly than Wordscapes. Like all the best games it has a simple concept – you get a few letters and a simple crossword-style game board, and you need to spell words with the letters. When you\u2019ve guessed all the words and filled in the board, you move on to a new one.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s even simpler than it sounds. On the first few levels you\u2019ll have just three letters, each of which you can use only once, so you\u2019ll only be making three-letter words. As you progress you\u2019ll move up to four, then five letters, with more complex grids and less obvious words. The difficulty curve is nicely judged. The game never seems to get head-scratchingly hard, but there are clues available if you need them.<\/p>\n

Play for long enough and you\u2019ll unlock multiplayer features, allowing you to create or join teams and play in team events. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll also see a mind-numbing number of adverts, which crop up roughly every other level. You can get rid of them for about \u00a36. While that sounds steep, without them this is an addictive and gently challenging game without the intrusive features found in some other word game apps.<\/p>\n
