Enworden Reviews

makes my brain hurt

Enworden is a smallish word puzzle game that turns out to be reasonably fun. Given a 2D grid of letters and letter combinations, try to assemble words meeting the specific requirements of each level. There's a lot more to it than that, but it's a decent enough synopsis. Some levels are very challenging but you can always bail out of them, restart, and hope for a better random set of letters to make things a bit more doable. The game's a bit short but the price was also pretty low so it mostly balances out. It could use an extra achievement or two, or maybe some kind of auto-generated daily puzzle to pad things out, but overall I'm glad I bought it.

I don't know many fancy words, but this game made me realize how shamefully little I actually know. Some of the levels feel like if your english teacher makes you look dumb in front of the whole class and everyone laughs at you, but in a good way nothing beats the feeling of getting an accidental 3 star victory because you're a dumbass that clicked the wrong tile and learned a new word by accident perfect 5/7 would learn new words again
