Word Chums! Wiki

I really enjoy this game, and the added fun of the characters, and optional gear, etc. I like the ability to see the number of stars the word I'm about to play is rated at, too. Sometimes I wish the characters did not react as intensely, because it makes me sad, to see a row of frowning, angry looking characters, when I have a winning streak. The game does crash or freezes sometimes, but I can usually close it down to get it going again. One frustrating thing, is that some real English words are not words that are valid in the game. I also find it frustrating that the stats are not correct. They showed that I played many more low point games then I actually have, and even though I won against a recent first time player, the stats do not reflect that. This player and I have played two games. I won the first, they won the second, but the stats show only one game, with that person as the winner. I sure would like this information to be corrected. Or fixed for the future, at least.

This is such a fun and challenging game...a perfected way to play scrabble. Very well designed and so enjoyable to play! It’s great to play with a friend and send quick chats (like a conversation you’d have if playing together in person). The app will also pair you with someone for a fast or regular game. You can also choose to hone your skills playing against a chumbot. You can pick one of three chumbots at each level - and they’re all really cute! How tough of a challenge do you want? Be prepared for a quick game, because it will not take your chumbot more than a few seconds to find the perfect word to play. Wish I could be that fast! Buy cute accessories for your own chum at the store. I appreciate being able to bomb my tiles and not lose a turn or to ask for a hint on where to build a higher point word. There is NOTHING about this app I would change. It is 5 star across the board! It is the PERFECT word game!

This is my favorite game by far. I like the different Chumbots and their antics. I like the graphics. I like that credit is given for word length in addition to letter and word points. I like that one can move letters all around for the best positions and that points are immediately displayed for any word, even as one keeps adding letters. I really like the “Hint” feature which shows where one can play the best word or at least a better word. Also, I really like the availability of definitions since many “words” I have never heard of, appear when shifting letters around. Too, I appreciate that Word Chums allows slang and archaic words whereas Scrabble does not. I could go on but I’m sure you understand by now that I REALLY like Word Chums! Oh yes, one can play against Chumbots, one other player or several players - and I still have not noted all the features of this game. Great fun for me!

I love this game. It is a fun way to play with friends in a pandemic. If you like words puzzles, you will enjoy this. Play with friends, strangers or “Chumbots” at the level you chose. More fun than “words with friends”, you can acquire hints but they are based on improving on your best word, a nice feature. This is getting me through a quarantine period. There is a chat feature so I feel like I am connecting with friends and have even made a new one. The premium is not expensive and worth it for no adds and unlimited Chumbot play. I have played Scrabble through some of the roughest times in life. This is very similar but with a gamer slant There is a feature to earn points by taking surveys that is iffy. I have gotten 15 minutes in and they have asked for email or exact date of birth in combination with Full legal name. I don’t think this is smart and I abandoned the survey.

5* all the way BAby!! No complaints other than I want to be able to take days to play without punishment. Please creators, make a category just for people like me who have a busy lifestyle and can’t always make a daily play. Give us our “Take your time, no worries” choice. I will be forever grateful if you’d do this fir myself and others. ANywho, thank you for the many years of fun and friendship. The wonderful history lessons from all over the world, the learning of some foreign words.....(the dirty ones) lol. Keep it up guys. 8 years later and I'm still playing Word Chums. The most reliable game ever. Always 5 stars for Chums. One suggestion.... Maybe give us a few new ways to gain coins?? Give us a way to win outfits, parts of outfits, bombs, clues, double, triple turns... It's just suggestions. Word Chums...,. I love you just the way you are. Peace

I love that you can figure out how to find the best word. The hints and the green/white bubbles almost guarantees you can find the best word- if you know how to play. There are some sore losers on the app calling you a cheat because they don’t understand how to use the clues and knowledge of how words are spelled to find the best word you can even if it’s not a word you are familiar with. There are also a bunch of words I’ve seen and use just from playing (ex faqir or suq- don’t remember what they mean but seen them enough times to know it). People get salty. I just block them but it would be nice to get better matches so I can play with players who I am on the same page with. The chums are adorable. My chat hasn’t worked in a long while so I can’t respond to other players. I’ve tried rebooting and updating to no avail.

This game is very addicting, but much more fun than Words-w-Friends. Love the little characters, they make it entertaining. It's neat the way you can dress them up & give them objects to hold but the coins it takes to buy the hints & bombs is a bit pricey. At the beginning you get free ones, use them wisely. I didn't know that & now I'm out & will need to buy them. Even when you get a hint, you may not think of the right word to get the most points, does really makes you think. Good for the brain! Just wish when you get new letters they would give you a better variety of letters. Too many times I get stuck with Almost all vowels, or no vowels or too many of the same letter. They want you to buy bombs, but then you still may not get a lot better letters.

I love this game because it is so entertaining and educational. It is a game to play when your mom says “Do something educational!” It is very fun but,I always lose but who cares it’s still fun to play! I do not think it needs any updates. I would highly recommend to download this game. Their are adds but you can play the $5.00 so you can not experience them. Which I will probably end up doing that. I think this game is amazing,and the only thing I would fix is their should be more chums. The only thing I would add is every time you come into the game you automatically get 20 coins or something like that. I highly recommended this game and I hope if you download this game you will highly enjoy it Judy like I have!😊

This game is Words with Friends prodigy child. It has more ways to earn extra points, XP, and making your own personalized Chum! You can decorate your Chum with cute outfits and accessories that give you extra XP in game with coins that you earn through the game. This game can be played without spending money!!! I’ve had this game for at least 6 months and I haven’t had to spend one dollar. You’re given 20 free hints and 5 tile swaps without losing your turn. Use them sparingly and you won’t have a problem. If you do find yourself loving the game, they have a new player special for $2.99 that will last you forever 🙂🙂😀😀 definitely one of the games I go for as soon as I reach for my phone!

I like reading reviews, but hate leaving them (I’m such a hypocrite!). Here’s what I like about this version of a “Scrabble” app: •the colors separate the board so the game pieces are more distinct and easier to read •the characters are cute and customizable (wait, it gets better) •the word that is allowable lights up on the board as you play it, if it’s a valid word. You can add or subtract letters and figure it out before you hit the “Play” button to lock in your turn •it also gives you the points for the word as you figure out viable words and letters (Some other game apps don’t, which make it harder. They just say you can’t play that word or it isn’t an acceptable word after you hit the play button.) •after a word has been played, and for all other words played on a board, you can touch a word to get a definition •if you don’t want to play a live person, there are probably 15 or so levels of increasing difficulty that you can play against the ‘computer’ •if you want to play a friend, it’s easy to both sign up and play •there’s a chat feature to talk to your opponent

I have ended up with just three best Chums from three different countries I play all the time. I’ve never met a mean chum. And with the virtual chunk change we earn we can acquire all kinds of hats and trinkets for fashion and roll playing. The graphics are so cute and clever. One of my best Chums even likes to be my twin. I love to find the best word, and with the hints I usually can! The only thing I would like is to know what the best word would have been if I didn’t make it not just higher points than the word I had ( if that makes sense). All in all I look forward to each word my Chums put out. I do feel bad when I beat them but not as bad as when they beat me!! I like it better than WWFs.

Always loved to play scrabble. This game gives you some cute little virtual characters with quite a bit of personality OR play live with friends, but essentially it's just another way to play the great old game of scrabble. Never gives me any problems with freezing up or crashing, etc so I have no complaints. **Update: haven’t played in a while but it’s good to find this game remains constant. The makers are not forever trying to change things up...like in other cases I’ve found that changing games in an effort to improve them, often just makes them have glitches and lots of problems. I’m glad these guys know “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

It's a nice game. They fixed the space problem. They keep asking me to rate, so here's another one. :-) My only issues are charging points to change chums & to change their color, & charging so many points for stuff. They've fixed it. It's nice again. However, it would be even nicer if they did not charge points for changing the COLOR of our chums. It's bad enough they charge points for the chums themselves, but for the Color? Not cool. Otherwise, great game. Love the chat feature. Keeps me connected to my sis in another state. 😁 Two issues: We played & loved Word Chums. One feature we really liked was the chat (kept up with distant family members). Since two updates ago the chat space is so small, for speaking or writing, that we can barely see or edit what we send. AND the messages get cut off at 1.5 lines to the reader. That is temperamental tho. Occasionally we get 4 lines. Chums is so proud of their rating: But Even the whole population of the rest of the world gives them 5 stars, if it doesn’t work it doesn’t help me. I have made two requests, weeks apart, with no correction. Once I got an auto-response that said it would be fixed soon. It hasn’t been. So I guess the only way to get their attention is to start giving them less stars. Disappointing.

...but it is currently broken. And people fun has absolutely no interest in fixing it. Letter distribution is ridiculously bad. Unfortunate because this game really could be fantastic. As it is, I never recommend it to anyone. The game keeps head-to-head stats but doesn’t record your first game with someone. So, if you win your first game and play the same person again and lose, your head-to-head stats shows your opponent with a 1-0 head-to-head advantage. Totally misleading. You will almost always get back half of the letters you just played, often more. The bomb is ridiculous. Swapping is even worse. They are lying about hints. If you’ve found a word that is 75% of the best word then the hint, according to peoplefuns own words, will be for the best word on the board. This is often not true. So many times I have found a four star word, used a hint, and got a hint for a word that was one or two points better, but still not the best word on the board. Multiple emails and they just have no interest in fixing it. Like I said, it’s a shame because the game itself could be pretty rad.
