IMG has posted a review of MacPlay's latest game, Bookworm Deluxe. Here's a clip from the review:

The playing board consists of lettered tiles laid in seven columns of tiles alternating between seven and eight tiles, so that a single tile in one column actually touches two different tiles on each side, giving a total of 6 different directions that you can go when making words. Start with a given letter, and try to make your word by clicking on adjacent tiles. If you make a word that the game recognizes, it will display the word and the points that the word is worth. Double-clicking on the last letter tile of the word will accept the word and send the tiles flying off the board, into the mouth of the bookworm watching your every move from the sidebar. Just like its puzzler brother Bejeweled, the tiles above will drop into place, and new letters will take their place at the top of the board. Your completion meter will also fill a certain amount according to the complexity of the word you created. The idea, of course, is to fill the bar and head to the next level.
