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.
