About the game

Word Rescue is an incredible adventure for kids who want to rescue all the stolen words from the mean ol' Gruzzles. The Gruzzles can't read, and they don't want anyone else to read. So, they've stolen the words out of all of our books! Benny Bookworm needs your help to stop the Gruzzles. He needs you to reunite the stolen words with their meanings. Once you join all the words with their pictures, Benny will put them back into the books.

    Words cannot express how delightful it was to play through this again. this is a review from both past me, who would sit on the computer in 15, and then in 30 minute rounds with my siblings as we would gather around the computer, pooling our computer time into one block so we could spend and hour and a half, and then two hours playing games together. we would play Word Rescue, Math Rescue, and other games. some…
