The game contains an English dictionary with 160,000 words. You can play against another player or against the computer. 4 different levels are available.<br /><b>GoMoku!</b>--An ancient Japanese board game for your Pocket PC. Features include: Standard GoMoku board (15x15), one on one or computer play modes, multiple skill levels. <br /><b>Brix</b>--Based on the classic puzzle game, you move, rotate and try to arrange the falling colored blocks and shapes. You can switch between various play modes or create your own.<br /><b>Blocks</b>--Try to arrange 15 tiles in numerical order inside the 4x4 frame by shifting them around. Features include: classical number mode, favorite photo mode, sound effects, help numbers. Besides the default numbers version you can also open any "bmp" or "jpg" image file as a puzzle.<br /><b>MathGame</b>--A logic number game. Have a crack at this number variant of the Word Game and put your brain to the test with tons of fun.<br /><br />I've spent a lot of time playing <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3547&highlight=wordgame">WordGame </a> and think it alone is well worth the $8.95 price. If you're unsure, though, you can always download a demo version of the GamePack and give all five games a try.

I also spend a lot of time playing Resco's Word Game. It was a lot cheaper than the $29.95 that Hasbro (now Handmark) was asking for Scrabble. You can set the board up through options just like Scrabble.

And as far as "Blocks" goes, I played this as a kid so I'm pretty fast at it.

I have the freebie version from long ago of the Blocks game.
This is just like the classic little plastic puzzle games you would get as a kid and you had to "slide" all the pieces back into the correct order.

Simple, yet entertaining when you have a few moments of "down time" because it is quick to start and finish a game.

Where's the challenge? Beating your best time....

Anyway, the package of four together is a pretty good deal for under $10 bucks.... :D
