Word Bird‪®‬ 4+

This game is fantastic. The gameplay is great, and the challenge increases at just the right pace. The power-ups were well-planned and are extremely helpful.

Is it strange to say that my absolute favorite part of the game is the owl's expressions as you play? I love when he's happy that you got a good word. I love that when you hit "shuffle" he does a little dance. I love that when you're thinking of a word, he also has a pensive look on his face. I even love that if you start a word and then back out, he looks slightly annoyed for a moment.

If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to make the music somehow loop into itself so that it could be an ongoing track. It's a little distracting that the song plays through, stops, then starts again. I really like the music, but I've turned the sound off because when a song has a beginning and an end, it seems to give my brain more of a sense of just how long I've been playing, and it makes me anxious. I'd rather just while away the hours with this addictive game without being reminded that I have other things to do.

In short, I love this game!! And if that cute owl makes an appearance in another app, or say, on a T-Shirt, you just let me know! :)

I don't know how they do it, but ALL of their games are super fun and highly addictive!!!! They manage to take ordinary games--including Klondike--and take it to the next level.

I can't think of ANYTHING this game is missing. Once I re-found out how to get the definitions, this went straight to the top of all the other word games I play (and that is quite a few!!). I encourage anyone to play this--even if you found other word games boring. Kudos for making it kid friendly as well.

Word search on steroids! Challenging word search game. It has fun powerups and a daily puzzle if you feel competitive. If I have a negative, it's that you cannot finish a board until you make use of every letter, and for a handful of letters, you need some very obscure words to complete the puzzle. Fortunately, in addition to hints, you can shuffle the board to get you unstuck. Also, the powerups help. It is not as glossy as some other games, but it is nicely done, and a lot of fun to play, and that's what counts.
