Writers and readers pride themselves in being people who are familiar with a broad range of vocabulary words, and this blogger herself is one of them. Combine that love of words, with gameplay, with technology, and you get Play on Words, an app that’s available for ios users at the App Store. The app is compatible with an Apple TV, making it a great game for parties, among friends, and among families.
The app is currently free to download, but you can pay an additional fee to have ads blocked.
I think of this app as a combination between favorite board games such as Boggle, and Scrabble (an idea which I thought of before I saw the same description on the website). While technology has made it easier for people not to mind correct grammar and spelling, apps such as these make it easy for users to continue to test their mettle against the kind of brain drain that studies show happens when exposed to too much technology.
Of course, once must note that beyond educational, the app itself is fun, interactive, and brings the competitive spirit out in its players.
