Word Pak is the ultimate in games for any word aficionados out there. With 2000 words, 10 categories and four separate games, there's enough here to keep even the most ardent of fans happy.

Choose from Word Search, Word Memory, Word Jumble and Word Untangle. All games can be played either alone, or in two-player mode.

Word Search is the old classic where you have to simply find the hidden words in a grid. The difficulty can be altered to suit your needs by changing the number of words and the size of the grid.

Word Memory is a variation on the old 'pairs' game, only with words. Turn a card over and try to find its matching pair. Get it right and the cards are removed, get it wrong and they're turned over and remain in the game. You can select from three difficulty levels.

Word Jumble is simply a jumbled-up word that you need to rearrange into its correct order. You can define the minimum and maximum number of characters per word, and the number of words per game.

Finally, Word Untangle involves untangling a group of letters to create two unrelated words. Again, you can select the minimum and maximum number of characters in the words to increase or decrease the difficulty.
