Hanging With Friends vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
Hanging With Friends
Hanging With Friends , as you might have guessed, is a brand-new hangman-styled word game developed by Zynga. As with many of their other games, Zynga has added a nice twist to the classic hangman gameplay by making the game a lot more child-friendly - instead of an actual hangman (complete with the noose), the game uses balloons and cute cartoonish characters. There is also hints that you can use to solve a particularly tough puzzle. Interestingly, you can even craft word puzzles for your friends and family to guess.Hanging With Friends is a fun hangman game that is suitable for players/wordies of all ages, and if you're a fan of word games, you will want to try this game out.
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.
