WordBrain vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
WordBrain
WordBrain is a rather intriguing form of word game mainly because unlike most word-finders, this game is very specific as to which words it wants you to find. Getting the wrong words is not at all rewarding. Not to mention, the grid of letters from which you'll be finding your "hidden words" is quite a fickle little puzzle in its own. This is because the effect of gravity applies to the grid. So, if you remove the bottom tile, for instance, the upper tiles will naturally fall downward. This may sound like not a biggie but this drastically changes how the letter tiles are arranged and how you can link up your second word. Thankfully, if you encounter a difficult level, you can always use hints or get a friend to help out.WordBrain is possibly one of the biggest non-competitive word games out there that's actually a puzzle. The game is available in 15 different languages with over 700 levels per language. Sounds like the perfect evening pastime for you? Well, you can download WordBrain for free on both Android and iOS.
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.
