Wordiamo

Wordiamo is a word board game enjoyed by players of all levels. Its open board makes high level play immediately accessible to beginners. Its depth spawns layers of strategy to satisfy the most experienced of word gamers.

Wordiamo introduces the concept of islands and bridges. In doing so, it addresses issues that have long frustrated players of Scrabble and Words With Friends. Now instead of proclaiming that you have a great word but nowhere to connect it, just play it as an island and connect it later. Now if your opponent has an early lead, he or she cannot easily play defensively and win by shutting down the board.

An open board means that you can play words anywhere—connected to other words or not. The board also has no bonus squares—no double-letter or triple-word squares to jostle over. Instead, you score bonuses by building bridges that connect words already on the board. Not only can you win by points, but you can also win by playing 8-letter knockouts.
