Brain Games : Words & Numbers

I am hooked on this game. In the beginning short three and four letter words jump right out at you, then the real fun begins. Words can be made forwards, backwards and diagonally, but sadly nothing over 7 letters long. Such a disappointment when you come up with a great multi syllable word! A crazy side note is the fact that you can play the same game on two devices, in my case my iPhone and iPad and they don't sync. It annoyed me at first, then I realized just because I began a game on one device didn't mean it would be any easier to start anew on another. To discover different scores on exactly the same puzzle seemed wrong, but soon that just became part of the challenge. What had I missed? If there's a way to sync them I don't want to know. This is a great game if you love word games. I have played the numbers version a few times, and while I like it, it's not my favorite. It is a great tool for kids to use to reinforce basic math skills and concepts. It is challenging, moves quickly and keeps their attention.

OM GOODNESS! I love this game!! It not only helps me reduce stress, but also increases my vocabulary, shows me words I missed (by clicking on the LIST button). You can even get the definition of a "clue" word, should you not know it!! I even love the numbers game!! It's great too! I found a little trick to playing it (not on purpose) that made it a little too easy. However, I just test myself for speed in solving each game! I suggest buying the app that gets rid of the pop-up adds. They definitely interrupt the game! Happy Brain Gaming!

The dictionary is pretty reasonable, better than some of the other Boggle type games out there, although it seems to favor British slang over American and once in a while mystifies me by not accepting a common word. My other gripe is that the clues sometimes count down when I haven’t used them- suddenly going from 16 available to 2 when I’ve only used 1. All that said, I’m addicted to this game and have played many many rounds. One thing I like is that it ends the game at 100 points, rather than dragging on and on until you find every possible word. It stays fresh that way.

I like the Words game more than the Numbers. The Numbers game is good too but you can pretty much swipe any numbers to get to the total needed easily. The Words games are more challenging, where your brain works to look at the letters in all directions and all different ways. I've learned a lot of new words too. I downloaded a few brain games recently on about the same day and this is the one I've kept and played nonstop since then!

I like that you can pick up where you left off. I don’t like games that have a timer. If you put it down and pick it up a while later you will be astounded at how many more words you see the second time around. It takes forever to add extra pointsBut rarely do I need to use the help of points, I can usually find the words on my own. Often times in minutes.
