Wordful for Palm OS is a word puzzle game in the spirit of Literati, Word Juggler, eWords and others. It is also a great way of learning new words or supporting the active vocabulary in any language or science area. In fact, here is what we think Wordful is:
Wordful is fun
Although it will surely depend on your definition of fun, we invite you to give it a try and see for yourself. There is always a way to get challenged. Hollywood stars, baby names, mountains, states, business terms...there's something for everyone!
Wordful is great for learning languages
Knowledge is best built in games and Wordful is a great way of introducing yourself to a new language while playing. Equally effective for children and adults, the game even allows for measuring and tracking your progress! Chose a word list, play a week and compare results...you might be surprised!
Wordful can be adjusted to your level and topic of interest
Use the various pre-created word lists or create your own ones with the free Wordful wordlist builder, available in a separate download. (currently only available for Microsoft Windows)
Wordful develops your brain and unconventional thinking
Finding words, figures and patterns is a classic exercise for the brain. And reading backwards or downside up forces it to work on a totally different gear! This can be both relaxing and useful...maybe not as relaxing as mountain hiking and not as useful as building marketing strategies...but sometimes that's exactly what you need, isn't it?
Using external dictionary for looking up definitions
When playing Wordful you may often see a word that sounds familiar and even mark it successfully, without still knowing what it means. The game has a neat feature, allowing automatic copying of the last user entry to the clipboard. You can then invoke any resident dictionary application such as BDicty Dictionary Reader and look up the word definition there.
Downloading additional word lists
Wordful's home page will list most current word lists as separate free downloads, usually organized by language. Other free or commercial word lists may be found on the most popular Palm software sites on Internet.
Creating/publishing word lists
You can easily create word lists of your own by using the Wordful wordlist builder available free of charge. See its page and the documentation in the download for sample word lists.
Once you take the time and effort to build a custom word list, consider sharing it with others.
