''Bookworm'' is a word puzzle game released in 2003 by Creator/PopCapGames. The object of the game is to feed [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Lex the Bookworm]] by creating words with adjacent tiles on a board, which gives you points based on the length and which letters not unlike ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}''. Making small and/or low scoring words causes flaming tiles to appear which if left unused will eventually destroy the board and end the game while making large words causes special, high scoring tiles to appear. It has been released on several platforms (each version varying in small ways) throughout the years with the latest release on the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS (2011) and was successful enough to get a SpiritualSuccessor with ''VideoGame/BookwormAdventures''.

''VideoGame/BookwormAdventures''. Unfortunately though, the PC game ''Bookworm Deluxe'' was delisted from various websites between April and May of 2016, with not much explanation aside from possibly expired license, and ''Bookworm Adventures'' and it's sequel are also delisted at the same time as well.

Added DiffLines:
* HaveAGayOldTime: In general, the game will not allow you to form offensive words, but it will let you use ones that have alternate inoffensive meanings. Playing such words in the ''Deluxe'' edition will often cause a speech bubble to pop up where Lex gives you a dictionary definition of the latter. For example, forming the word "fag" has him remind the player of its British slang usage with the simple definition of "A cigarette".

* {{Cap}}: According to the [[Creator/PopCapGames Pop Cap]] website, the largest score attainable in the original PC version is 2,140,000,000. This is because the game cannot correctly interpret numbers higher than that. Should someone obtain a score higher than the cap (''extremely'' unlikely), the score would become the opposite of the score i.e. negative.
