Social and mobile developer Outplay Entertainment's Facebook game Word Trick is now available to download from Apple's App Store for free.

The Scrabble-esque puzzler tasks you with creating words from a selection of random letters and strategically placing them on a board that contains familiar double-letter and triple-word tiles.

There's a twist, though: you'll also be handsomely rewarded if you manage to line up three or more special green "Trick Tiles" that are randomly distributed as you play. These can double, triple, and even quadruple a word's score.

Bigger = better

"With Word Trick, we wanted to enhance the traditional crossword gameplay experience by providing a socially fun, yet challenging, evolution in the genre," Doug Hare, founder and CEO of Outplay Entertainment, said.

"The game's Trick Tile feature creates a completely unique gameplay challenge, and players are no longer restricted to multiplier score squares on the board - they can score big anywhere."

Word Trick features a Pass-and-Play multiplayer mode, and the ability to compete in 21 simultaneous asynchronous matches against friends and complete strangers.

Push notifications will alert you when it's time to take your turn, so you won't miss any of the action. You can even talk smack to your opponents during play using the game's in-built chat functionality.

You can grab Word Trick from the App Store for your iPhone for free.
