Reaady to find some words? "CrossWord Jam" by PlaySimple combines word finding with a bit of world travel. So chill out and try to find some words! Playing a lot like "WordScapes," this game challenges you to swipe across some letters to find as many words as possible. This blog post is a review of "CrossWord Jam."


A Note About Mobile Games...

This is a review of a game as it is as of June 27, 2020. This game may have changed over time based on this initial blog post. This game was reviewed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

CrossWord Jam


From India's PlaySimple Games comes "CrossWord Jam." Similar to "WordScapes" that I reviewed previously, your goal is to find as many words as possible using a given set of letters. Find the words while also getting combos going. There are lot of puzzles and a lot of places to visit. Can you handle the pressure?

"CrossWord Jam" is free to play, but you can purchase material with in-app purchases. Play "CrossWord Jam" each day to earn daily bonuses. These daily bonuses can include more Coins and even some free hints. The prizes get better the more successive days you continue to play this game. It is recommended for you to pay to remove the in-game ads so your performance isn't hindered.


A Game Note...

I was currently on Level 91 playing this game in typing up this blog post.


Playing the Game.

You find words by swiping across a set of letters to find various words. Find as many words as possible to clear each puzzle. You earn bonuses for finding words that are not in the official puzzle. If you really want to succeed in this game, try to find each word while finding many other words in succession. Finding multiple words in succession nets you bonuses. You know you are on a word streak when you see the outsides of your touchscreen glow with stars coming out. Try to keep that streak going! You can also find words not part of the official puzzle for extra Coins. Once you find a word that is either not a word or not in a puzzle, your bonus streak is snapped. So if you can, try to consistently find words to keep your string going. If you need hints, spend Coins to get hints. Later facilities give you a much-needed boost if you get stuck. Do everything you can to clear each puzzle. Some puzzles may have a Challenge Word for you to find outside of the main puzzle. Find that Challenge Word to earn a Coin bonus! The level ends once all official puzzle words have been found.

The daily puzzles have you trying to find words at specific point. When you see a daily puzzle, you will see an owl located somewhere on the puzzle. That owl, named Mr. Hoot, rests on one of the words you must find. You earn a Star for each word you find with Mr. Hoot on it. You can still solve the puzzle by finding words that Mr. Hoot isn't resting on. Only thing is, you will not earn as many Stars for words you find that does not have the owl resting on a certain word. Collecting more Stars helps you fill out your Scrapbook. Find all of the words to clear the Daily Puzzle!

I mentioned going on streaks earlier. When there are Bloom Rush tournaments, you earn Golden Blooms for getting on these streaks of finding words. Be sure to enjoy these Tournaments when you get a chance to compete in them!


A Word of Warning.

If you do not remove ads, then after you clear each puzzle, you will advance to the next stage immediately following an advertisement. Give yourself 3-5 seconds to play after the next stage loads so that any ads don't obstruct your time playing the next level. Sometimes, the game even gives you notifications in the game that hinder your progress when you start a new level or after you fail multiple times to register a correct word. So give yourself some time before taking on the next puzzle.


Let me share my Final Thoughts on this game now.




CrossWord Jam: Final Thoughts


With its beautiful graphics and relaxing atmosphere, CrossWord Jam is a joy to play. It offers the appeal of word hunting while providing a welcoming atmosphere. I mostly have two gripes with this game from my play experience. First off, the game runs a little slow on my tablet PC. Sometimes, the game tends to lag as I try to swipe letters. I might easily try to spell a word but end up not having it count because of the game lag. Second, the game has advertisements and notices that come up at inopportune times, mostly in starting a new level or if I gather enough Bonus words. The game does not seem overly challenging. While not an easy game, it will surely test your word power. It also can be addicting in the sense of chaining together multiple words in a row. This is a lovely game in many aspects. Its efficiency, however, holds it back from being great.
