Pictoword vs Wordscapes
Pictoword
Pictoword is a simple picture-based word puzzle game to get into but the puzzles can get quite tricky especially once you reached the later levels. How do you play? Well, unlike 4 Pics 1 Word which uses 4 pictures to let you guess the mystery word, this game only uses 2. You'll need to first name the action, scene or items in the pictures and then combine those 2 words into a single word. There may be some overlapped letters but generally you should be able to figure out the mystery word once you've named the 2 clues.Pictoword is also pretty social in the sense that like 4 Pics 1 Word, you can post a puzzle that has stumped you on your Facebook account and ask for help from your friends and family. So, if you're looking for an alternative game like 4 Pics 1 Word, Pictoword is a pretty nice choice.
Wordscapes
Wordscapes doesn’t only offer its players a nice and innovative word puzzle game that combines crossword with a word finder; the game is also designed in such a soothing way (mainly because of the gorgeous backgrounds) that after playing it for a while, you’ll feel more relaxed. I’d say this game is the perfect game to play for wordies to wind down after a stressful day at work. After all, most of the word games nowadays often try to outdo themselves by being intensely competitive and hence, “social”, but many of these game developers forget that sometimes, we wordies just want to have a fun time challenging ourselves and our brains without having to stress out about losing our high rank on the leaderboard whenever we played a few bad games.The game isn't a money drain either. You can watch video ads to get some extra coins if you need them to buy a hint. You can also make words that aren't on the crossword puzzle to get a few more coins. So, if you like a word puzzle game that is just that a fun word puzzle, then Wordscapes is perfect for you!
