This looks like the TV show Blockbusters but is actually a decent word game. You make words by linking the letters in the grid. It's quite a task finding them sometimes but press the silly man in the hat and get a new grid. It's a little bit harder that other word games but still just as much fun.

REVIEWS:
Word Flow is easy to pick up, and challenging once you get into it...Word Flow allows you to test yourself on your vocabulary skills in a game that feels like trying to master a good cross word puzzle or a good round of Scrabble. - AppCraver.com
Great for when you have time to kill...I like the user interface. Everything moves really well...definitely a game for all ages...You'd be crazy not to go and get this game and definitely enjoy playing it. - iPhone App Podcast
The game looks great. The graphics have a very vintage, ye olde tone to them and it almost feels like you're playing a real world game. The touch controls are simple and responsive as you move the tiles around — in my play, I experienced no lag in movement. - The Apple Blog
If you like words, it's pretty cool...Fun little game...Definitely worth checking out - Gamers with jobs podcast
Even though this game is quite unique, it's way too hard to play at the moment! I've only been able to play it properly in the 10 minute game but that's too long to play a game imo. You get a grid of letters and move the whole row/column to create words, sounds good but it's hard to do.
Hopefully an update will make this game better but at this time I suggest you try the demo and make your own mind up.

========================================
Bring on your eagle eyes, and boost your observations skills in this classical Rebus style game, that promises to challenge your witty side with hours of entertainment.
Inspired by the popular TV Show, Concentration, STITCH'em WORDS is an extravaganza for all those looking for something beyond Scrabble and Anagrams.
The object of STITCH'em WORDS is to solve puzzles made of pictures and words. For example, combine the letter "T", with the picture representing "Rain", to make the word "Train." Or, combine the picture representing a "Star", with the letter "E", to make the word "Stare." Find hidden slang words, to earn bonus points. Use Hints if you get stuck - or aim for bonus points by staying away from them.
With hundreds of exciting levels, and random Bonus Rounds in which you must solve a Phrase to earn points, STITCH'em WORDS is here to test your vocabulary skills and concentration prowess!
It's about time to give your brain a fun workout!

This is another different kind of word game and quite interesting. Has a few silly problems which an update can fix - some of the symbols are not clear, the hints are too small to read (especially for someone with glasses) and when you start again, its the same puzzles!
Otherwise it's good. You create phrases/words from the images and letters, which is quite good when you know what the image is... No demo so decide for yourself but I'd suggest getting it now while it's cheap and hopefully the update will make it a BUY!

Now finally not so much a review as a warning - if you see a game called Text Twist Turbo, do NOT buy it! I spent £1.19 on it and was quite impressed at first but one of the modes has a massive ADVERT from their other game(s)! Remember this is a paid game with ads?!
Oddly they have removed it, probably due to this problem but if it comes back don't waste you money until they at least fix this problem :(
