Bookworm is a word puzzle game for the Game Boy Advance, developed by PopCap Games and published by Majesco. Letters sit in a grid, and you link adjacent tiles to spell words. Completed words clear from the board and the remaining letters drop to fill the gaps. Longer words and rarer letters score more and produce bonus tiles.
