Excellent Word games for your WP7

If you are into spelling games like Scrabble, the first thing you would noticed that in the WP7 marketplace, popular titles on the iPhone/Android phones like Word with Friends are missing.  Personally I am just glad Zynga hasn't invade the WP7 spaces with virtual cows and imaginary chickens.  

There are 3 excellent spelling type games that you should definitely have on your WP7 handset.  Best of all, they are all FREE!

Spell It!

Spell It is one of the original scrabble type game to appear since the launch of WP7.  Large user base means that you don't have to wait forever after starting a game for your opponent to respond.  Support games up to 4 players.  Like all the non-scrabble word games, it has it's unique board layout. Supports fast app switching!  Click here to install

Words BY POST (FREE)

I had played word with friends but one of my biggest complaint (also my friends) is that it doesn't keep track of how you are doing against each other.  Words BY POST changes that by keeping records against your opponents so you know how badly you are beating your friends or how badly they are kicking your ass.

Your friends don't have WP7 devices? other than "convincing" them they should get with the program and get a spiffy new WP7 device, Words BY POST are also available on iPhones and Android handsets so you can challenge your friends on other mobile platforms.  You can invite your friends via facebook posting as well.

Words BY POST is an ad driven app but does have a paid version that is Ad free.  Get it here

Wordament

Wordament is an unique spelling where at any given moment, you are challenging all the other players on the Interwebs who are playing the same game at the same time.  2 mins to swipe and spell all the words you can find on a 4x4 tile board.

Fast face, addictive and fun.  Definitely worth a try.  Get Wordament here

WP7 Handset Poll + Spell It!

It has been 2.5 months since WP7 launched (for the European folks) and almost 2 months since the North American launch.  I always wonder what kind of wp7 headsets all you nice folks out in the Intertubes have. 

You know what I have (HTC Surround - stay tuned for my 2 months review coming soon...) I am interested in what kind of WP7 handsets you folks are using out there.  Please take some time to vote in the poll on the main blog page.  You are also free to leave comments as to why you pick your WP7 device.  No right or wrong choices, afterall, unlike some other popular phone out there, WP7 is all about giving customers choices!  I might even use your comments in a future WP7 buyer's guide.

btw, I am hooked by Spell It! (free scrabble type game in the marketplace).  I am not very good with spelling type games but I am having a blast. It's a turn-based type spelling game.  Go download it and if you are interested in a friendly game of scrabble (seriously, I am not very good at it), invite me to a game.  My username is 'dex'.
