BanderSnatch Word Game

BanderSnatch Screenshot

BanderSnatch is an addictive word-making game for Windows. It should appeal anyone who enjoys games like Scrabble® and Boggle® or the Channel 4 programme Countdown.

The object of BanderSnatch is to make long words from adjacent letters in the heap of tiles at the bottom of the board. While you are doing this, new tiles are being added at an ever-increasing rate. When the tiles reach the top of the board, the round ends and you lose a life; but you earn a new life for every 2000 points you score.

Although BanderSnatch is against-the-clock, manual dexterity isn't essential. The game is primarily a test of vocabulary knowledge and the ability to think fast under pressure.
