Unscramble letters to create words in Word Jam.

Those who love word puzzles.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Word Jam is super simple fun. Each puzzle consists of four scrambled words. You must drag and drop the letters in each scramble to create a valid word. Only when all four words have been unscrambled will you be able to move on to the next puzzle set. That’s all there is to it.

You need a quick distraction. There’s nothing new to learn here. Just move letters.

You want depth. It’s just four words at a time. No power-ups. No leaderboards. Nothing.
