I'm a sucker for word games, so GameHouse's Text Twist is right up my a-l-l-e-y. The online version, where you attempt to rearrange six letters into as many different words as possible within the allotted two minutes, is not only addictive, but also a great workout for your Scrabble skills. You advance to the next level by finding at least one six-letter word for each combination of letters, which is definitely not as easy as it sounds. For more of a challenge, both to your wits and and your wallet, download the $20 offline version, which ups the ante to a vocabulary-straining seven letters.
