Play On Words (POW) is a brand new word game for iOS that eliminates the luck factor of other word games – it is therefore skill which prevails, not the luck of the letter draw.
If you have a way with words, this new game is for you!
Play On Words – revolutionising word game play.
POW offers two modes of play: Challenge Mode and Dictionary Mode. POW also features a six-tier Leaderboard.
In Challenge Mode, the POW dictionary is initially disabled and it is up to players to challenge their opponent’s word if they believe it to be invalid or accept the word and Play On. If a challenge is successful, the challenged player loses a turn, if the challenge is unsuccessful, the challenger loses a turn.
In Dictionary Mode (POW utilises a tournament level dictionary), the dictionary adjudicates words before they can be played. Players have only 4 chances to play a valid word and lose a turn if they cannot play a valid word on the fourth attempt.
All players begin with a rating of 500, adjusted up or down after each game, depending on whether players win/lose. The rating and historical performance determines a player’s ranking on the Leaderboard. Players join the Leaderboard only after playing five ranked games.
In addition to the standard portrait board, POW offers a larger, landscape board providing increased playing scope.
Play On Words is available on the App store now.
