Word Slinger literally is throwing a bunch of words on the board, but with strategy. Enthusiasts of the Scrabble game and/or crossword puzzles should be able to take to it.
What’s it about?
Word Slinger has two modes: Speed (to keep you on the edge of your seat with challenge) and Strategy (to practice your skills).
Either mode will have you compacting premade words onto a limited board (the difference with Speed being that you have limited time). It’s nice to not have to come up with your own words for a change; arranging them within cramped conditions still poses plenty of challenge.
To play, grab whatever word suits your fancy from the right and place it along the starting star on the game board. It’s best to start out with longer words first so you have a lot of letters to build off of.
Continue to grab supplied words and fit them crossword-style amongst your existing branches. 
In Speed, you’ll have the pressure of continuously towering words (the game ends if they reach the top). In both modes you’ll need to place a certain number of words before you can move on to the next round.

Pros and cons
+ Addicting and brain-boosting.
+ Score multiplier tiles, just like in Scrabble.
+ Hints and Discards are available, although in small quantities.
+ You can restart from a particular level once you’ve unlocked it.
- Not that exciting; better suited for rainy afternoons.
The verdict
Word Slinger is a good game for those who enjoy word games. You’re more likely to play it, though, when you’re bored or feel like challenging yourself rather than for pure amusement.
