WordFu requires the player to shake, not just tap, the iPhone. When the game begins, you shake and tap until the dice bounce to letters of your liking. When the clock starts, tap the dice to spell out words, reusing the letters as often as you’d like.  Shake the phone to enter your word and keep going. This is a speed game and players have no time o waste.

Utilizing the iPhone’s accelerometer makes WordFu distinct but the game is full of other great features.  The animated graphics are amazing and entertaining while the popping dice are a welcome addition to a generally flat genre of games.

The optional sound function is amusing but never excessive. Who doesn’t want Kung Fu noises to get their creative juices flowing? Also, WordFu has built-in capabilities to let you challenge the world via Twitter and Facebook.
