  Upwords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upwords is similar to Scrabble, except that players can stack letters on top of other words to create new words.
For example, if the word on the board is CATER, a player on a subsequent turn could put a B and E in front of CATER and then put an L on top of the C and a D on top of the R to build BELATED.
Since Upwords lacks bonus squares like Scrabble, there have to be extra rules to keep people from capitalizing on other people's words and they do this by disallowing plurals that simply add an S. Originally, Upwords was played on an 8×8 square board, which many players felt to be cramped relative to Scrabble's 15×15 grid.

 How to Use "Upwords" to Increase Response - Michel Fortin
What I call UPWORDS are effective in any conversation, sales call, or written message in that they simply help the message to be better understood and appreciated.
Upwords are examples, analogies, metaphors, symbols, picture words, colloquialisms, and so on.
For example, a challenge among cosmetic surgeons is the fact that people will call for a quote over the phone when obviously the doctor needs to see the patient beforehand.

 Board Game Ratings - Reviews of Upwords
Key to the game's freshness is that players can change a word by placing additional tiles atop letter tiles already on the board, so game spaces that are already used remain available for future turns.
In upwords there is a whole extra dimension of strategy that is not possible in Scrabble.
For this reason I find without question or doubt that Upwords is more challenging than Scrabble can ever be.

 UpWords Word Game Software Review
Based on the UpWords board game, which in turn is loosely based on Scrabble, this well-designed CD-ROM delivers a good time for any word-game aficionado.
Other modes are available beyond the classic UpWords game-play, including Challenge version which is essentially a race to have your color-coded tiles outnumber your opponent’s, and Solitaire in which you play against yourself in an attempt to better your previous scores.
Variations on the game of UpWords, but those looking for more variety in word games might look for word game compilation titles.
