What?s cool? Beejumbled isn't unlike titles such as Boggle, in which players are handed a pile of letters and asked to create words out of them by linking adjacent letter tiles together. In Beejumbled, however, the interesting twist comes from which ?bees? you choose as your characters in each round. Like other word titles, you get extra points for making longer words, but you also score more if you adhere to your bee's special ability ? one gives more points with words containing the letter ?k,? for example, while another might add points for words that end in ?ick.? There's also a head-to-head multiplayer mode and weekly tournaments to keep you engaged in the larger competition.
