Must Pop Words - Time Waster

Must Pop Words is a boggling word game that boggles the mind; it reminds me of a trademarked game who's name I can't quite put my finger on. The idea is that letter balls fall from the top of the screen, and you have to quickly type words to make them pop and disappear. The letters fall with alarming regularity, so if you're not on the ball, so to speak, your screen can quickly fill up your game is over.

As the game progresses, a penguin pops up offering you bonus points if you can complete certain tasks before he disappears. The tasks include things like creating words of specific lengths, and words that end with a specific letter.

The game quickly takes on a frantic feel as your window fills up with unused balls. Interestingly, there is no penalty for using the same word over and over again, so if you're in trouble and have lots of z's and o's on the screen, there's nothing stopping you from typing the word 'zoo' three or four times.

If you have a friend that is a word game fan, don't let them see this game unless you want to lose them for a few hours.
