Scrabble vs WordCrafting: A Tower of Words
Scrabble
Scrabble is the mobile equivalent of the timeless classic, board-based word game of the same name. Have fun playing Scrabble with your friends, family, the AI or even some random stranger from across the globe. This digitalized version of the game is definitely a lot better than the baord form, mainly because of the plethora of features that simply couldn't exist in the physical format of the game.One such feature is the "Teacher". By referring to this feature, you can see what your best word could have been after every turn, allowing you to learn from your mistakes and improve your game next time around. There is even a Speed Play mode (2- or 5-minute turns) that truly pushes the limits of its players by forcing them to think fast or they'll need to forfeit their turn. Best yet, the game is available in multiple languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, in addition to English.
Although this game is not developed by Hasbro themselves, EA Games is a reputable and established game developer and as such, this version of Scrabble is guaranteed to be as fun as the original board version. Try it today!
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.
