Next Word (4.5/5 stars, all ages, currently priced at 99 cents) is another app from the same developer. It’s a very novel concept in word games, with some unusual gameplay. Players can choose their desired difficulty level / desired quantity of hints to customize gameplay. At the completion of each puzzle, the player is presented with an interesting quote, too!
Note: while this app is labeled as appropriate for ‘all ages’ in the App Store, some of the words used in it are PG-13 (e.g., lingerie, sexy) and some of the word associations are politically incorrect. It should probably be labeled ‘guidance suggested’.
In this game, you’re presented with a kind of flowchart of words, where words with some type of association are connected to one another. You must drag and drop additional words into their correct locations in the flowchart. The association could be between synonyms, antonyms or puns.
The gameplay is so unusual, you really have to see it in action to understand how this game works:
awesome game!
