WordCrex is a mobile app similar to the famous word game Scrabble and Wordfeud. The iOS-version was released June 2, 2016 and the Android-version 8 september 2016. The game was presented as the first free fair word game challenge. WordCrex was developed by two Dutch creative friends Jelle Verwaijen and Dimitri Dirkzwager. It is different than most word games because the players use the same set of seven letters to form words. This way the luck factor of getting the right letters is not a decisive factor anymore. WordCrex is a multiplayer game. Games can be played with 2, 3 or 4 players per game.
