  The game is good for people who like crosswords. I hate crosswords.

  I get tripped up all the time, because this game uses American spelling. Any word games in the English language should either give a warning that the spelling is American, or have the option to choose between English and American.

  Do not waste your money. This was clearly meant for mobile, it's entirely too long but also painfully simplistic and honestly just not fun. Spend on something else, your money is worth more than this game.

  Not at all the game I was hoping for. After playing 60 levels of tutorial-on-rails (with no ability to skip ahead!), I've given up. I was thinking this would be a game more like the daily Squaredle puzzle (a grid of letters where you find as many words as you can), but after 60 levels it was still giving me tiny "grids" with only one valid answer. It's not at all like playing LYNE, despite what other reviews say - LYNE allows any valid path that connects everything, and doesn't require you to give one specific answer. Maybe for someone who had never played this kind of puzzle before, this would be a gentle (and very, VERY slow-paced) introduction to the basic concept. But for me, it was excruciatingly boring and I regret buying it. If the game allowed skipping to later levels, I could see if it ever gets more interesting, but it does not unlock a level until all 20 of the puzzles in the previous level have been completed.

  This game wont count to your 100% achievements count, so don't waste your time like i did *facepalm* I'll be sure to look for "Profile Features Limited" next time. But if you playing it for fun, go ahead, i suppose its cool.

  721 words. That is enough to cover 90% of conversations in English. Unscramble those words in Mini Words - a unique mix of puzzle, word search and hangman.

[b]the presentation is just about acceptable[/b], even for a minimalist title based on words. simplistic looks, no music, only a few sound effects, but there is a volume slider. no resolution options or windowed mode per se, but you can resize the game window to various percentages, 100% being full screen, it's good enough. [b]some color combinations make it hard to see what's been done already[/b], most of the time it's not an issue though. I love word games, and as I said, this has additional educational value and it certainly isn't overpriced or frustrating, but it's not as polished and pleasant-looking as it could be. still recommended, takes several hours to complete based on your vocabulary and use of hints, but check out the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/25928931-Puzzle-Lovers/list/49129/]puzzle lovers word games list[/url] for more titles in the genre.
