Prose & Codes vs Wordscapes
Prose & Codes
Prose & Codes is a fun and fairly relaxing puzzle game where you’ll need to solve simple substitution ciphers involving excerpts from both popular and obscure literary classics that are listed as “public domain” while being serenaded by beautiful piano music. The game features book excerpts from 7 different genres, ranging from children’s stories to tales of epic adventures; several difficulty levels to choose from, and if you like what you’ve deciphered, you can even hop on over to the online library that is Project Gutenberg since all these books are available to read and download for free.Even if you’re not a whiz at solving ciphers, Prose & Codes will have you hooked from start to finish! The levels are very well designed and tailored to the difficulty setting of your choice, and the excerpts are all very well-selected. If you’re a book lover, not only can you have fun decoding the ciphers and bookmarking the excerpts that you love most; you can also take this opportunity to discover new titles that you might be interested to read.
Finding the corresponding book is easy as pie too since the game provides you with a nifty button that will direct you over to Project Gutenberg where you can download and read the books (in eBook form) for free.
Wordscapes
Wordscapes doesn’t only offer its players a nice and innovative word puzzle game that combines crossword with a word finder; the game is also designed in such a soothing way (mainly because of the gorgeous backgrounds) that after playing it for a while, you’ll feel more relaxed. I’d say this game is the perfect game to play for wordies to wind down after a stressful day at work. After all, most of the word games nowadays often try to outdo themselves by being intensely competitive and hence, “social”, but many of these game developers forget that sometimes, we wordies just want to have a fun time challenging ourselves and our brains without having to stress out about losing our high rank on the leaderboard whenever we played a few bad games.The game isn't a money drain either. You can watch video ads to get some extra coins if you need them to buy a hint. You can also make words that aren't on the crossword puzzle to get a few more coins. So, if you like a word puzzle game that is just that a fun word puzzle, then Wordscapes is perfect for you!
