Better than Boggle!

The Ultimate Word Game.

The challenge never ends with Word Challenge, Hayden's mind-boggling computer word game. Like the game of Boggle, the object is to discover as many words as possible using contiguous letters which are randomly arranged on a grid.

With Word Challenge, you compete against LEX, the dreaded Word Master, whose 90,000 word lexicon will delight, amaze and challenge you with unusual words.

Sharpen your vocabulary skills.

Test and improve your vocabulary skills while you learn to outsmart the computer. Challenge a friend to play the same game against LEX and see who wins!
