"Similar to Quiddler, (Word Ace) boils Scrabble's bones for stock - but adds Texas Hold 'Em instead of Rummy, replacing the lid and going to "low" for a long simmer."
- Tycho, Penny Arcade
5/5 - "Word Ace is a great game that can easily eat away hours of your free time if you're not careful. The unique hybrid brings out the best in both Texas Hold Em poker and word games and is just plain fun."
- The Current Gamer
99/100 - "Texas Hold Em + Scrabble = W-I-N: I played. It was fun. I played some more. I realized almost an hour had passed. Then I asked myself, why is this free? This game is more fun than games Ive spent $3+ on, and its free!"
