Bookworm is a word-based puzzle game for the Nintendo DS in which players assist the character Lex in forming words by connecting adjacent letter tiles. Longer words yield higher scores, and special gem tiles can enhance points. Players must also manage a fire that threatens their library, adding a strategic element to the gameplay.
Assist Lex in creating various words by chaining tiles that touch each other within the grid. The longer your word, the more points you earn, and sometimes you may even discover gem tiles to increase your score! Be wary though, as fire may sometimes threaten to burn your library if you don't stop it in time.
