I enjoy finding Bada games that actually make my brain work instead of just giving me fancy graphics or finger work. Word Shake, developed by the British Council, is one of these.

It is also nice to see that the British Council wastes/invests taxpayer’s hard earned money in promoting literacy outside schools and actual learning institutions. I’m not being ironic, it’s up to you to choose. I, for one, would like to see my Portuguese government promoting spelling and language grasping in a manner as fun as such.

Samsung Wave users will certainly find this app very fun, regardless of whether you are British or not, but of course, some US English words might not work properly (think color vs colour).

You are given a grid with several letters, and out of all those letters you must form real words, racing against a clock. It’s difficult at first, but once your mind starts working, it turns out to be a very nice time killer.
