    A must-buy for word fiends, SpellTower is an uncommonly attractive and thoughtfully designed puzzler.

    It might not have the high-power graphics and visualizations used for other word apps, but it doesn't need to. Either way, it's addicting.

    A brainteaser that's nervy, humbling, and strangely energising. If you can handle the stress, SpellTower is magnificent.

    One of the most elegant word games you're likely to find on the app store, with modes to test both those who like to think on their feet or prefer a game with little to no pressure.
