Pictoword vs WordBrain
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.
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.
