Wordament: one of the bestwordgames in Windows 10, Windows 8Word games likeScrabblehave thousands of players around the world, and this is due to the fact that they are very entertaining, but at the same time, very competitive. All board games are fun but it would seem that the games that make us think more are the best. Wordament is aWindows 8, Windows 10wordgamethat will certainly put your mind and your focus to the test.
For playing this game, you will have to concentrate intensely, mostly because it is much more complicated than your usual “find thewordpuzzles”, as it allows many more combinations then we are used to.
Wordament for Windows 8, Windows 10 app review
The game is very simple at first: find all thewordsin the square before the time runs out. But once you’ve started playing, you will see that it is not that easy, and the letters can be arranged in any way: line, diagonal, backwards and pretty much in any direction you can drag your mouse pointer and still go from letter to letter to complete aword.
What makes the game more entertaining is the fact that it allows users tolog in to their Xbox live accountsand play against other people, and at the end of the timer, you will have your score submitted and compared to the other players. Also, you can add players to your friends list and play head to head against them.
Being a Xbox game, it haslots of achievementsthat you can unlock, so be on the lookout for the best combinations of letters. Somewordscan completely cover the entire square, but finding them depends on how well you can navigate the puzzle. It’s actually amazing the number ofwordsone can create on this 4×4 square, sometimes pushing upwards of 200 different words.
The score is calculated by the number ofwordsyou find and by how common or uncommon thewordsare. More difficult and longerwordswill bring you bonus points, whereas simple and shortwordsare worth a lot less.
Apart from this, the game does not have any other special features. All depends on how much attention you pay during the game, and how fast you are at recognizing words. This is where all those games ofScrabbleand word puzzles will come in handy. We hope to see the game in different languages in the future, so everyone could play the game and not have to be disadvantaged by the level of their English skills.
