Word Pads is a new action word game done in Flash with a tropical theme. Similar to games like WEBoggle, except played as a single-player experience, the object of Word Pads is to form English words to score points by clicking on the lily pads in a race against the clock. Words of 3 or more letters are safe, but words of 4 or more letters only score points. The longer the word, the more points it is worth. Letters do not have to be on adjacent pads, and forming words of more than 5 letters creates a golden lily pad that acts as a score multiplier for future words formed with it. Misspell a word or run out of time and you lose a lily pad. The game is over when you run out of lily pads. A high score list provides the challenge of a competitive element. Click.

The game is a new offering from Shawn at Hot Flash Games, the same Flash developer who created the awesome Asteroids clone: Hot Rocks, highlighted here previously.
