    I'm trying to figure which one to buy or to choose

    I'm really focused on Lexic seems really interesting and well done.....,
    but there's Wordigo, Word-fu, bookworm, boggle, scrabble and plenty of others to choose from!!!
    -sorry if i missed any that are really well known or really great.

    any opinions or recommendations if you had to pick ONLY one of them.

    if it helps any... these are games that I've really play day-to-day and really enjoy and keep on my iphone.

    Canabalt, fare city, flight control, doodle jump, geodefense swarm, harbor master and recently: hook champ, soosiz, and silent swords

    Feel free to post your opinions as they are greatly appreciated and greatly helpful ^-^

    Word-Fu+ may still be free for the moment, but I say go with Lexic all the way. Lexic is a pretty amazing word game, none better in my opinion.

    Textropolis, WordFu, and Wordsworth are my favorites, but I also like Wordjong, Wordulous....there are so many to choose from!

    There's actually a thread that has a lot of info on word games somewhere around here.

    Oh, and when mine comes out, I'm sure it will be one of my favorites as well :p

    If your looking for a boogle type game.. Go with word play online.. It's boggle but you play agaisnt people around the world.

    If your looking for a scrabble type game, go with words with friends, basicly scrabble with people around the world.

    But any other, I would defenatly go with lexic.. All the way.. Very polished and great game modes

    Moxie is the original word transformation game...EASY to learn, but CHALLENGING to master.

    "Can't. Stop. Playing." - Mashable.com

    "Phenomenal!" - 148Apps.com

    "Every bit of the game is good." - TheAppera.com

    Over 500,000 Moxie games have been downloaded and over 20,000,000 games have been played.

    ----------------
    HOW TO PLAY
    ----------------
    Moxie is all about transforming words into new words. You start with a hand of 52 letters that you go through "Solitaire" style. Place each letter on the board or "Pass". If you "Pass" you can't go back to that letter.

    You score points by:

    1. Making unique words with the letters

    2. Transforming your words into other words by adding and replacing letters. For example: "TIN" becomes "TINE" which becomes "TILE" which becomes "TILED" and so on.

    3. Spelling special "Moxie words" for bonus points

    Once you spell a word and start transforming it into other words, don't break the word chain! That's a "Twaddle" and you'll lose points.

    There's no time limit and while it helps to know a lot of words, Moxie will more greatly reward those who like to think strategically.
    ----------------

    Features:
    - 3 game variations
    - 6 color themes
    - HD graphics support for iPad and Retina displays
    - Pick up right where you left off
    - Global leader board
    - Short tutorial video (no internet required)
    - Ergonomic design
    - Relaxing and refreshing gameplay
    - Wholesome
