About Niner Word Game

If you enjoy crosswords, anagrams and other word games or simply wish to improve your vocabulary - Niner is the game for you!

Niner is a traditional word game where the objective is to form as many words as possible from a grid of nine letters. Each letter tile can only be used once and the center letter tile is mandatory.

Words must have at least four letters. There is always at least one word containing all nine letters.

Niner supports wiktionary lookup by long-clicking words, making it not only challenging and addictive but also educational. A great way to extend your vocabulary or improve your Wordfeud score!

The perfect complement to Words With Friends, Wordfeud and Hangman!

Currently supporting English (subset of TWL) and Swedish dictionaries.

Beats waiting for a newspaper. Simple way to use Interface. No bugs.

There's no button for turn/mix your tiles......??????

Initially I felt a bit restricted by the game's seemingly rigid restrictions of singular root words but I have come around to the developer's point of view on this issue. It saves me from the tedium of having to write out a huge word list with every variation and plural of each word. This is a novel idea in my experience and was only strange because all other games of this kind place a premium on quantity of words rather than, as in this case, QUALITY. I've raised my rating accordingly. I LOVE not having a timer! There are a reasonable No. of target words, for the reasons mentioned above, and no rush to find them. My kind of puzzle. Still very-no, MORE challenging as a result.

The space that shows the submitted word needs to be larger. I like to use the word to resubmit with mods but often wind up pressing the why isn't it a valid word button

F70%
by F####:

It's interesting to play a word game with a totally different scoring model, but this implementation is pretty frustrating. The distinction between a correct/allowable word and an "incorrect' word is pretty arbitrary. Sometimes a plural, verb form, or adverbial form is allowed, and sometimes not. In a game I played just now, "nonmetro" was a word, while "metro" wasn't. It really makes no sense.

At last! a word game that doesn't have a timer, thank you. Really like being able to set it aside and go back at odd moments. Four star because of odd dictionary, a crit I've seen on other games using Wicki. V V pleased with it. October 2012 - Still favourite, been using this daily for months, now seeing letter sets that seem familiar, would be willing to purchase a new set when available. Some confusion (mine?) over how to save games.

Don't download if English is your first language OR you don't like reading glasses! Dictionary doesnt have simple words like 'pins' or 'drew'. Grid is very small. No options for format or rules. Uninstalled.

It could be a great game but unfortunately it doesn't even understand basic words. Very disappointed as I spent so much time trying to find words it WOULD accept!

Fun but doesn't recognize some valid American English words

K70%
by K####:

Inconsistent with the rules and the dictionary. Quote 'only the base form of the word' but 'seared' is ok but 'seated' is not - really? One of those cases where non word game people were involved in the execution of the game - doh!don
