Farmville: Harvest Swap
Farmville: Harvest Swap is a farm-themed, match-3 puzzle game developed by the very people who brought you Farmville, Zynga. Match 3 or more crops together to harvest and place them into baskets or to collect specific items that will help solve the many issues at the farm. By matching more crops, you can get special crop bonuses and containers (to hold your crops in) too. Need an extra boost? Well, there is also a wide variety of power-ups in this game that are designed to help you. Best yet, the game contains many unique gameplay mechanics that will most certainly astound even the most experienced casual gamer.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.
