In Wömmeln, you search a personal grid of letters to find appropriate terms for a randomly chosen category. Find a word that's particularly long? Great — that's a lot of points! However, longer words also mean less space on the letter grid of letters, and it will get trickier from round to round to place your own words. Who can form the longest line of words without getting in their own way?
