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..
Pro Free to try with a single in app purchase for the full game
Wordbase is free to download and play but does include a solitary in app purchase of $2.99 to receive the full content of the game.
Pro Original take on word based gaming
Unlike most word based mobile games Wordbase is not a clone of someone else's game mechanics.
Pro No time limit to solve the puzzles
There's no time limit to force the issue, but that doesn't matter, because it's so damnably slick to both the touch and the brain that you'll throw moves out with the same speed and grace that climbing into a tiny boat forbids.

A puzzle game should be quick and easy to pick up and play, but deep and challenging enough that it’s difficult to put down - that’s the cliche ideal. Threes is the embodiment of that ideal.

Pro Gameplay suits anyone's style
Threes! can suit anyone's play style, whether it is someone who takes their time and considers all option or someone who just blazes through each move without much forethought.
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.
Con Randomness of game can be frustrating
The randomness of what new tiles appear can be frustrating when nothing is lining up very well.
