Popular word game Ruzzle now available for Windows Phone, free version coming later

This week has been golden for Windows Phone, especially those of us who enjoy pouring some hours into available games on the platform. Microsoft teased a number of upcoming titles yesterday, one being Ruzzle. If you're not familiar with the name, it's a Boggle-style word game with online multiplayer capabilities. Think of it as a 1- or 2-player version of Wordament

Ruzzle features Facebook integration, a single-player Practice Mode, and support for numerous languages, so it's set to do well with those who enjoy being socially connected. It's also coming to Windows 8, though it's yet to be seen whether or not both versions will sport integration for players to battle against one another. Do note that Ruzzle is an indie title.

So who can find the most words in two minutes? You can download Ruzzle for $2.99 from the Windows Phone Store (Windows Phone 7.x and 8 devices, 512MB RAM devices are OK). It's reported that a freemium version will arrive in the future as well as the paid option that's presently available. via: WindowsPhoneItaly
