Em@il Games: Upwords is a play-by-email version of the classic board game Upwords. Upwords is similar to Scrabble in that the players take turn placing words on the game board. But in this game all letters have equal value, but they can be placed on top already existing letters as long as that results in a genuine word. Higher stacks have value equal to the number of letters in the stack. After every turn the game state is emailed to the next opponent so he can make his turn. [source:mobygames]
