The title's core mechanic tasks the players with building words to defeat a string of fiendish monsters. I started playing Bookworm Adventures roughly a year ago now and was mesmerized by the challenging word-'em-up gameplay and lovingly-crafted personalities of the cast. Maybe if I had a game like Bookworm Adventures when I was growing up, English and I wouldn't fight so much. Broken logic forced together in the most contradictory fashion, constructed with a counter-intuitive alphabet from whence it's impossible to discern orthographic and semantic sense.Įven recently, as a semi-competent writer, I sat in an English writing course only to be reminded of those unrelenting spelling and grammar tests. I hated spelling and grammar exercises as a kid - didn't we all? English, after all, is a catastrophe of a language. Fortunately computers are good at fixing one of those, just not the other. On the feedback sheet they included the results of a pre-interview exercise in which they expressed concern over my (self-admitted) weak spelling and (also self-admitted!) gaps in knowledge of grammar. The interview was for a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course I plan on taking near the year's end. Last week I received results back from an interview I'd taken several weeks prior.
