Mini Words: Polyglot Reviews

This game won't do much to teach you a language since the puzzle itself is done in English. I wish I had to spell words in one or more of these languages that I am trying to learn. Kind of pointless this way. Turning on "Automatic speech" still doesn't automatically play the audio of the first language.

An interesting idea with an extremely lackluster execution. The bland line puzzles were probably created by algorithm, and aren't particularly fun or challenging. Most of the words are obvious cognates and don't require much thinking, so unfortunately the bulk of the game is just solving these line puzzles. It's a mild curiosity to play through them once, but it's not an efficient or effective way to study the words. The puzzles themselves aren't in your target language (unless you're studying English), so you'd probably be better off getting a book of word searches or easy crosswords. While the 300 levels will keep you busy for a while, no new mechanics are ever introduced, and the developer didn't include any additional modes, scoring, or other options at all, so there's nothing to spice up the bare core mechanic. I've wasted $2 in worse ways, but it's hard to find good educational games, so it's always a big disappointment when they miss the mark. Don't expect much, you can find much better resources for free.
