Pros
Pro Strategic word based gameplay
Wordbase plays more like a game of chess than a conventional word game. With each player having a base at each end of the board, the goal is to get to the other side first with words on the board. Thought the most interesting part is that players can cut off the others line of words by intersecting them which results in cutting off the players progress above the intersection..

Cons
Con In game dictionary is hit or miss
Wordbase could use a better dictionary as many words that exist the game does not allow to be played and some word it allows to be played are not real words.

There is no mid game save which means for some of the longer harder battles if one leaves the game, there is no going back to it.
