Once past this point, however, Words of Wonder is a straightforward and addictive puzzle game that offers a fun twist on both Boggle-style wordsearch gameplay and Candy Crush Saga’s objective-based structure.
Somewhat less pleasing is how drawn-out and condescending the game’s tutorial is - all of the pertinent information in it could easily have been given to the player in the first level (or even in a separate, easily-skippable help screen) rather than spreading it across several. Special tiles also explode and take all the surrounding tiles with them when they are incorporated into a word, making them useful tools to complete levels that require the player to destroy a certain number of tiles.The objectives the player is confronted with over the course of the levels vary from making a certain number of words to clearing a certain number of tiles or creating words on top of “ink spots” on the letter grid. Creating a word of more than the minimum three letters causes the last letter to turn into a bonus tile, which applies a multiplier to any word in which it is incorporated. Finding a word scores the player points, with “rarer” letters scoring more points. In other words, the basic mechanic is straight out of the board game Boggle and more recent popular social word games like Zynga’s Scramble With Friends. Basic gameplay in Words of Wonder requires the player to make words using the letters found on the board, which may be connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally in a non-straight line in order to find words.
