Word Strike

Since I've been playing this for about 3 years I've never seen the game update with new words. It should get new words so we don't have to keep playing the same ones over and over. Lose the lord of the rings stuff

This game is interesting and fun. It keeps my mind sharp ! Tell your friends ! I have !

If you're a fan of Scrabble(c), Boggle(c) or any other word game, Word Strike is a decent pocket game to get those mind juices going--you have a wide range of easy and simple to "who would know that?!". I'd recommend it to include in your collection of TidBits Apps. With that said, I have my judgements about it. First off, the words tend to cycle too quickly; within 60 levels, I experienced the same word 3 times. Easy 9 coins but not worth the time. If anything, a "Time Trial" feature, higher pay out for solving the word faster, would make up for that. Secondly, there's been a lot of review focus on the cost of a clue. I'm actually okay with it--it's meant to deter you into getting friends to help you over social networks (thus introducing them to the game). When times gets rough, I understand that frustration but that's part of the fun. It would interesting if you had two clue options: free letter or replace an existing clue. My work around? Screenshots to people via MMS who would know of the subject matter a little better (like sports, film, etc). It is a high note that all the words are common enough--nothing outrageously specific or out of reach by most people. Lastly, activating the achievement features would have gotten this game another star from me. Having to compete quietly with myself got old fast (ie 40 words in five minutes). None the less, I'll keep this game around to see where it goes.

This is a fun game, although it doesn't seem to be quite as challenging as iAssociate. I didn't realize hints cost anything until I started to write a review and read some of the others! But I looked at ways to get more coins and I saw that you can earn coins by trying stuff from tapjoy. I've earned a lot of tokens for iAssociate that way, so that won't be a problem. I've actually become addicted to a couple of games I tried!

It's really fun and addictive but I've gotten so far into the game that I notice regurgitated word groups. The cost of a letter is high but if I get stuck I try looking for the answer on the Internet. But otherwise my girlfriend and I both enjoy playing it. A suggestion I would make for any possible updates is to give the option to shuffle the letters around but even without it I'd still play.
