2048 vs Word Connect
2048
2048 is a pretty unique puzzle game that has literally gone viral last year mainly because of its easy-to-pick-up gameplay and yet it is incredibly difficult - i.e. requires a lot of strategic thinking - in order to be really good at. Unlike other 2048 games out there, you can decide how big your playing grid is in this one. There's even a scoring system which is what most people will share proudly on their social media pages whenever they reached a new high score.Due to its meteoric rise to popularity, the game has inspired a lot of clones on the mobile platform with some games that drastically made the game concept something uniquely their own with plenty of additional fun features and game rules.
It's just incredible to see how such a simple game can take the world by storm, by 2048 somehow managed to do so. If you're into puzzle games, this is one game that you can easily try on your browser without much hustle. But be warned! You'd better set aside some free time for this game because it will pull you in like a black hole and like a black hole, you'll feel as though time must be wrong and that hours have not just passed you by when you finally emerged from its addictive grasp.
Word Connect
Word Connect follows in the successful word puzzle game formula used by many other games like Word Cookies and even Wordscapes... though, it's a lot more similar to Word Cookies than Wordscapes per se. The gameplay is incredibly fun and addictive and the controls are easy to learn as well - how hard can it be to swipe letters to form words, right? The game also boasts of having over 2500 levels - more to come! - and there's an exciting new daily challenge for you every day you log in. Hit a snag in the game? You can use hints or you can share the puzzle with your family and friends on Facebook and ask for help. Any extra and valid words you find will be rewarded as well!The game is not at all competitive so you can take your time looking for the words needed to complete a level. Best yet, the game is powered by the Oxford Dictionary so you can be sure that the English words you know, even including many others that you might not, will definitely be in the game.
Word Connect may not be innovative in any sense since it's basically a clone of Word Cookies, but if you're looking for the closest alternative to a game like Word Cookies, you may find this game a suitable choice. The game is both phone- and tablet-friendly and is available on iOS and Android.
