I don’t usually play word games but I loved this one. It’s challenging enough but at the same time relaxing. It’s fun and colorful. I really liked it.

I enjoy playing games from this developer every game that I have played in this series has tested my vocabulary and I enjoy playing new word games and the games can be a stretch

I recommend this game!

Played the demo to see what this game is like and found that it's rather lacking in long-term gameplay. Nobody is expecting a game to last for many hours, when the whole point is that it's meant to be casual. However, this one falls down on how quick you can burn through it.

I'm currently at 75% complete and i've only played 45 minutes. I'm not averse to buying the full game but you gotta admit ...Show more

I'm currently at 75% complete and i've only played 45 minutes. I'm not averse to buying the full game but you gotta admit that it would be a waste of money for such a short play through. It's not really a game you'd come back to either.

It's not all bad, however, as it's true that I do have a few hard levels still to do, which would take me more time. Also there's the objective of completing a few more stamps and these hidden envelopes - that so far have just appeared after clicking buttons I'd be using anyway.

Additionally I wouldn't worry too much about the words not making sense that someone mentioned earlier. I'm just your average UK resident and I've known every one that I've come across thus far.

Conclussion: it's an ok, but very short game. If you like puzzles like this then it may be worth a pick up, but don't expect to be playing it too long, especially if you're good at these kind of games. I'm not, and i've run through it pretty rapidly. Show less

I recommend this game!

... into thinking this is a children's game. The colorful graphics are just a bonus aspect to the game.

Like its 2 predecessors, this is about "making chains" of letters in order to find the words that make up each square. As you find a correct word, those letters will disappear; the objective is to remove ALL letters from each grid.

Difficulty progresses nicely, and there's a good hint system if you need some clues.

I took off 1 star from my rating because you can choose any category, but can only progress within each once you've completed the previous level in that same category (i.e. you cannot start by playing level 2 if you haven't completed level 1). It's also not very long, compared to a match-3 or time management game.

I recommend this game and look forward to the next one (perhaps with more levels?) Show less

Too many words I have never heard of and I love word games.
I did play on easy level and still never heard of some of the words. I will not purchase the game.

I don't recommend this game.

I absolutely love word games but this one doesn't have enough words and levels to make it a good value. Still it's a good way to strengthen one's vocabulary and spelling skills.

I don't like the categories at all. Jobs and Places have words that will likely stump many gamers, me included. Too unfamiliar, imo. Who wants to play only in Easy Mode and use hints? I know I don't because I love ...Show more

I absolutely love word games but this one doesn't have enough words and levels to make it a good value. Still it's a good way to strengthen one's vocabulary and spelling skills.

I don't like the categories at all. Jobs and Places have words that will likely stump many gamers, me included. Too unfamiliar, imo. Who wants to play only in Easy Mode and use hints? I know I don't because I love challenge. And there are very few hints available so not much help anyway.

Even though I'm great at spelling, for me, the words were hard to figure out. Sports stopped me in my tracks as I am a dunce in that topic, it's embarrassing, really! Better categories would probably entice me to buy the game and it would have to have a better hint system. I don't want the entire word revealed, just a letter for each hint would do. Also the Mixed Category was just an exercise in total frustration for me.

The game looks innocent enough but it made me feel like a dumb-dumb! LOL. But that's good in a way because if you want challenge, you'll find it here. Show less

I recommend this game!

Please play the demo first. I bought based on previous review and I wish I hadn't. It can be fun but directions were non existent. if you don't find the words in the right order, you are stuck.

I used all my word hints up early as some make no sense. This was on Easy. I hate to see the rest of the level. Good concept, poor execution.

I don't recommend this game.
