Description
"Grabl made me do something that hasn’t happened in a while. I played until my iPhone 'died,' then I charged it up and drained it again." - AppCraver.com



"Addictive? For someone who loves playing with words, yes." - theiphoneappreview.com



"Grabl resembles scrabble, but it's for one player, and it's great. The interface is finely tuned to take advantage of the iPhone platform, and the game play is fun." - AppAlbum.com





Grabl is a fast-paced, addicting, word building game for iPhone and iPod Touch!



Score points by dragging the letter tiles from the bottom of the screen onto the gridded board to make words that connect to each other. Longer words earn more points! Scroll and zoom to see the entire play area. Earn new tiles by spelling words! Race against the clock, but try not to leave any tiles unused when your time runs out!



Check out the demo on youtube: use http://bit.ly/LQiwT or search for 'grabl'



Feature Highlights:



*Intuitive controls

*Multiple game modes

*Online high scores

*Customizable background (use your own photos!)

*Show your boards to friends over email via "show off your board" feature

*Fun sound effects

*Addicting, endless fun!



Here's how to play:



You start out with a blank grid on the top half of the screen and 14 tiles in your "hand" at the bottom of the screen. Drag the tiles onto the grid to spell words. When you spell a valid word, it will be highlighted in yellow. Spelling words earns you points and more tiles (press the "more please" button to get your earned tiles). Longer words are worth more points! When your time runs out at the end of a round, any unused tiles count against your score.



Grabl has 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 5:00 game modes as well as a special mode called "frenzy!" where you start out with only 30 seconds on the clock and earn more time as you spell words.



Grab it today!

Version 1.0
Grabl is an exciting new addition to the word games available in the App Store. Super fun, racing against the clock to put together an impressive board that can be shared with your friends. Timer options and Frenzy mode are great depending on what type of challenge I am looking for. Nice work!
Slick game

Grabl is simply fun. It provides a challenge that never gets old and keeps me coming back whenever I have a minute. I really enjoy seeing what words I and others have spelled in the high scores. Altogether, a great app.
Great Concept, Fun, whoa...Addictive!

I loved WordWarp, but have gotten bored of it. Finally I have a replacement! My advice, do the frenzie mode.
So fun... and addictive!

This is the coolest ap I have played since Wurdle. Wow--it is totally awesome! I LOVE racing against the clock to see how many words I can get. I just keep having to play it again and again. I keep telling myself, "just one more game," and then I just keep going and going. I totally love the Frenzy game. It is so cool to get more points everytime I make another word. Addictive--totally addictive.
Awesome

Version 1.0
I love word games and this is a great one! It's just like "speed scrabble." The interface is intuitive (scrolling and zooming around the playing board) and easy to use. I love all of the online features. It's really cool that you can e-mail a finished board to your friends and see the full boards for the high scores online. If you like games like wurdle and Word-Fu, you'll like this one!
Fun and different

I'm a big fan of word warp, and this game takes the concept to the next level. It's like scabble and word warp all wrapped up into one fun game. I highly recommend this game to everyone.
Crack for my word game addiction!!!

My wife is trying to get help for me because I can't stop playing this game! It started with Scrabble, but grabl is the game I just can't put away. Download with caution, because people might try to intervene. When that happens, tell them to buy their own copy. Because this game is fun!!!!
Awesome Game!

Grabl is a super versatile game, able to adapt to your mood--5 minute setting for when you're feeling contemplative, 30 seconds if you're an adrenaline junkie. Tons of fun...and admittedly a bit addictive :)
Dabble with Grabl

Version 1.0
This word game is more akin to an art form. A very frantic art form! Longer words placed just right help to spread out the board and keep you placing letters. I wish I could turn off the clock--just to see how many words I could squeeze on the board at one time. Very polished game! Good Work!
Radical

This is a great game - addictive!!! Great, fast paced word game. Love the "Frenzy" setting. My only complaint is that sometimes the letters don't move easily, but that is probably because I have a clear sheet screen saver to prevent scratching my screen.

Please add an option to turn off the timer.
expected too much?

Version 1.0
I guess the reviews that compared this to scrabble or even heralded this as better than scrabble caused me to expect too much. It is a good and challenging game but I wouldn't say it in any way rivals Scrabble.
