Hurry Upwords
Playing Word Games is recommended for Brain Health
There are many online studies and professional opinions
about playing brain games or word games requiring thought and allowing your brain to be more creative using word formulas, strategies, word constructions, and more. Brain games/word games are healthy for your brain, no matter your age.
Those games can exercise brains, strengthen synapses--all that scientific stuff. We've included online links to articles testifying to the documented fact that brain games are good for your health. Playing certain games (particularly word games) can help you remember better, process more quickly, stay focused, improve reaction times, and more. We've even asked a mental health professional's opinion about HURRY UPWORDS (and he had good things to say).
Imagine adding to all the positive, general medical opinions about word gaming using the following game elements:
-
The unique UPWORDS play component of Three Dimension Letter-Tile Stacking and Scoring and Word-Morphing
-
HURRY UPWORDS' addition of active TIMED PLAY, and you have a "Doctor Hurry-Upwords'" prescription to help you get sharp(er), stay focused, think more clearly, etc.
A BOARD CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRIST AND UPWORDS PLAYER WRITES:
"I have personally been playing classic Upwords online for several years. I'll typically have multiple games happening at the same time, and I can count on one hand the number of days I have not played.
Letter-stacking opportunities offer more word-building flexibility and scoring opportunities than two-dimensional word games.
Professionally, I think Upwords is excellent for maintaining one’s brain health by stimulating both vocabulary recall and unique three-dimensional as well as two-dimensional strategic word construction. It also stimulates players' competitive juices.
The new Hurry Upwords version adds the additional brain-activity requirement of quick timed play response, presenting an additional mental challenge for players."
