Word Crossy vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
Word Crossy
Word Crossy , despite being simply another clone of Word Cookies, seem to have really hit it off with the wordies on the mobile platform. In fact, the game has risen so much in popularity that multiple word games using the "Word Crossy" name in their titles have popped up. You might find it a bit hard to find this actual original game among the noise, so here's a tip - this game was developed by Word Find.In terms of gameplay, you basically will be forming words needed to solve each level by simply swiping the letters to chain them up. There is no time limit whatsoever so you can take your time finding all the words. There is also free shuffles and useful hints that you can buy. The game boasts of having more than 300 levels for you to enjoy as well, but the most interesting part about all of this is that, purportedly, the difficulty of each puzzle changes intelligently based on your personal progress.
Visuals-wise, the game looks as great as Wordscapes, but it's good to note that Word Crossy offers players with varied background themes to choose from. This is a fun feature to have, and it does help break the monotony after you've been playing the game for hours on end.
Word Crossy may be a "clone" but it is still able to provide you with the kind of word puzzle game experience that you may have enjoyed from playing Word Cookies or any other of its clones.
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.
