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.A Note About This Post...
The previous post was deleted as I had the wrong name of the game. This post is a revision of a previous post but with the correct name of the game listed. I apologize for the inconvenience.Word Stacks
Welcome to Word Stacks!
Each segment of the game is in a Chapter. Each chapter contains 10 levels. You are given a clue as to what the puzzle is about. What you see afterwards is for you to find all of the individual words to solve the puzzle and advance to the next level. All the while, the game offers soothing and beautiful visuals and music to calm your mind. Words found are all horizontal or vertical. They can read normally or in reverse. You must find the word based on the first letter to the final one. The words do not have to be all the way down. For instance, you may see the word "RAIN" bordered by other letters. So look carefully for each word. And remember- the words may be in an inverted order. So to find "RAIN," it may appear in the puzzle as "NIAR." You can gain extra coins if you find enough of certain words that do not pertain to the puzzle. You earn bonus Coins and Themes by progressing through the game. Clearing Chapters give you a Coin bonus.
You can play through the game's many puzzles and even take part in Daily Puzzles. The Daily Puzzles operate a bit different from the in-game puzzles. Unlike in the game, the daily puzzles do not have any hints as to what the puzzle is about. An interesting approach to the Daily Puzzles is that as you find certain words, you may get hints on what words are available based on what letters you swipe. If you note a letter is highlighted from letters you swipe across, it means you are approaching on finding a certain word that is part of the puzzle. All you have to do then is find out what letters you need to fill out the puzzle!
Once you reach around Level 50, you can take part in Tournaments. Try to position yourself as high as possible! Your Tournament success depends on your ability to find extra words as well as completing as many Levels as you can.
Word Stacks is free to play, but in-app purchases can be made. You can use real money to get yourself more Coins or even get Bundles to help you get through the game. Completionists... this game has over 500 Chapters and 5000 levels! I was on Chapter 5, Level 56 in the creation of this blog post.
Advice.
Here are a few things I learned playing "Word Stacks"...• If you find yourself stuck and want to restart, you can try to go back to a previous puzzle and then go back to the one you were currently working on. The one you haven't yet cleared will return to its regular form before you exited. Then too, it does not seem possible to be stuck or get yourself in a situation that is tough to get out of clearing letters. You can not gain any extra Coins from a level you completed. So don't even think about trying to grind for Coins.
• Just like in my review of "WordScapes," take your time and don't try to be perfect. There is no time limit to clear each puzzle, and you don't need to rush through the game. You also have unlimited chances to find every word. You will not face any penalties for not finding words or for taking too long to find any words. You can also leave the game at any time and return to a puzzle you haven't yet finished. Only worry about trying to complete things quickly if you are in some Tournament and in a neck-to-neck race against somebody.
Final Thoughts to come. Next section tells you all you need to know from me.
Word Stacks: Final Thoughts
"Word Stacks" is somewhat tougher than the "WordScapes" game I reviewed previously, but this game does deliver a nice challenge. You really have to look hard and try to search for words spelled either normal or reverse. You even think you found a word... only to have to clear a certain letter or more to complete the puzzle. It still will test your mind to a great degree. Sometimes, though, it can be frustrating trying to find certain words. Frustration does NOT equal fun. This game can still be a fine challenge. Beautiful graphics and music compliment the game a lot. The game can have some of the same advertisement issues, but I did not find these to be as annoying as in "WordScapes." So you may be recommended to pay to remove ads to improve the performance of the game. If you want a good word-finding challenge, give "Word Scapes" a try.
