Word Fit Puzzle is a game designed for iPad and iPhone which seeks to provide players with a new kind of challenge. Users are provided with an empty grid of columns and a list of words, the objective being to fit all words within the available columns without letting any of them out.
Features:
* Ability to Set Difficulty Level
In Word Fit Puzzle, users can pick from a range of difficulty levels where 0 is easiest and 9 is hardest to complete. Each difficulty level will provide its own list of high scores, which are displayed according to the lowest completion time. There are 20 high scores displayed for each difficulty level.
* Option to choose Grid Size
Users also have the possibility to decide how big or small the grid size (number of rows and columns) is going to be. These can be anywhere between 3 and 20.
* Screen Layout with Split Bar
Users can decide how much space is allotted for the word list and how much for the grid bar with the aid of a innovative, movable split bar. Thus, game difficulty can be further customized.
* Ability to Set Min & Max Word Length
Gamers have the ability to decide the min & max word length from settings menu. Thus, for easier levels users will choose words with above 3 letters, while hardest levels will have the min & max word length set to exactly 3.
* Starting Letters
Users can opt for getting up to 4 letters on board for extra help. These are already placed on the grid and help form new words.
* Multiple Languages Available
The game allows players to set language for word list between 24 different dialects. Dictionaries need to be downloaded separately but are free.
* Automatic Screen Orientation
The game can detect the position of device (e.g. portrait or landscape), hence being able to make adjustments accordingly. It can be played comfortably on both smaller screens (e.g. iPhone 5) or larger screens (e.g. iPad 3).
* Word Definition
If users are unaware of a word’s definition, the game offers the possibility to check online for help (e.g. Wiktionary). Definitions will be displayed in native language where available.
Design and Usability:
Word Fit Puzzle benefits from a pleasant visual design which supports interactivity. Completing puzzles is very easy, users being required to simply drag a word from the list into the most suitable column. Word validation is also available (leads to minor time penalizes) as well as the ability to request an extra letter. Words can be deleted and placed somewhere else when suitable.
Functionality and Application Performance:
The app functions very well with no noticeable lag or freezes of any kind. Menu system has been re-organized and simplified in v2.0 of the game which improves overall performance. Game needs iOS 6.0 or above in order to run.
Summary
Overall, Word Fit Puzzle is a game which will most certainly appeal to fans of the puzzle genre. It comes with customizable difficulty levels and a gameplay which proves to be highly addicting.
