Enemies will also sometimes drop potions. The player is rewarded with gem tiles for spelling words of longer length (and also by using certain treasures which increase their frequency of appearance). In addition, after defeating a monster the player is awarded experience points, which will lead to a level up which imparts a bonus of either extra health, attack power increase, or defensive ability increased. Through the use of certain treasures, items and special gem tiles, the player can cause similar inflictions to the enemy. These range from causing damage over time, to loss of a turn, to weakening their attacks. Eventually, the player will find that enemies can cause status ailments such as poison, bleeding, burning, stun, petrification, etc. A player can only choose 3 treasures to bring with them into a chapter (out of an eventual total of 31). Treasures do many things, ranging from increasing damage for using certain letters, to stunning the enemy, and a whole lot more. Each book is divided into 10 chapters that culminate in a 'boss battle' in which the player is rewarded with a treasure upon defeating the enemy. The game is turn-based, and after the user attacks their opponent, the opponent then takes its turn.

The main game interface is a 4x4 grid of letters, and unlike in the original Bookworm game, the letters do not need to connect to form words. Not an American user? Description Bookworm Adventures follows the tale of a little green worm named Lex (of the original Bookworm game) throughout 3 themed books as he spells words to defeat evil monsters.
