4 Pics 1 Word
4 Pics 1 Word is a mobile word game that had enjoyed tremendous success mainly due to its innovative, simple-to-get-into and yet challenging gameplay of word guessing and partly because of its social features which allow players to share puzzles that they can't seem to solve to their social media pages for others to help out. Of course, like most word games, 4 Pics 1 Word also has a hint feature which can be frankly limited. The game is often updated with new puzzles so you'll never run out of words to guess!4 Pics 1 Word is an impressively addictive word game despite being mind-blowingly simple to create. It has spawned a whole new generation of picture-based word guessing games - the last major change in this genre was brought on by the game, Draw Something.
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is a very intriguing and unique, fantasy-themed word puzzle game that combines the strategy and physics needed in tower-building games with the fun of unscrambling the letters in a word and making crossword puzzles. It may not be the easiest game to get into, but once you get how it works, you will quickly realize how refreshingly entertaining it is.The game offers 3 different game modes, which will be unlocked as you complete the previous mode. The game starts you off with the easiest MishMash mode, which basically consists of tower-building and unscrambling letters, and then move you on to the Classic mode that will require you to form your own words as you build your towers. Lastly, you'll get to the Endless mode whereby you will attempt to build the highest tower you can and see how well you rank among your friends on the leaderboard. There is also a Word of the Day mini-game to play, and some collectibles that you can collect by opening treasure chests.
Once in a while, I will stumble on a very much underrated word game that’s so unique, intriguing, refreshing, and challenging that it completely blows my mind (in a good way), and I’ve got to admit – WordCrafting: A Tower of Words is, without a doubt, one of these incredibly rare games. The number of new words you can learn through the MishMash mode of this game is simply astounding as well.
Granted that not many wordies may enjoy a game as different as this one, especially since the game seems to focus more on building solid structures rather than testing your vocabulary (at least in the MishMash mode), WordCrafting is definitely a game that wordies simply must try.
