Online Word Game Recommendation -- Word Kingdom

There are many great websites online where one can play free games, and quite a few of those sites are focused solely on word games. One game that is highly addictive and easy to recommend is Word Kingdom, a game that involves creating words using tiles all while defending a castle. The letters are scored like in Scrabble, with the rarer letters being of more value, and you also get bonuses for creating longer words. Each letter is on a tile that represents one of four resources (meat, wood, stone, and gold) that you will need in order to build up your castle and army. The first two levels teach you how to play the game, so there aren't any attacking armies until the third level. Once the enemies begin to attack your castle, you will need to move fast, building words and soldiers in order to defend yourself. I recommend taking your time on the second level of the game, and building as much stuff as you want before building the barracks and blacksmithery that move you on to the next level -- since there are no enemies yet, you can get used to the game and build up your castle before moving on to the more difficult part of the game. Beware, this game is not only highly addictive, it can be quite challenging and time-consuming as well. Created by dictionary.com, Word Kingdom can also be found on wordgameworld.com, and on both websites you can find many more word games, from classics like Hangman to the newer ones like Word Kingdom.
