Test your vocabulary

Crossword puzzle games are great as they're both entertaining and informative at the same time. They challenge you to think of words and learn new ones in the process. However, they generally have limited appeal, so developers try to include unique elements into the gameplay, such as relaxing music or nice art to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Words of Wonders: Crossword is an example of the latter, with a twist.

The premise behind this game is that you get to see iconic locations throughout the world by solving puzzles. Explore various countries like Egypt and France as you see popular monuments and tourist attractions like The Pyramid of Giza or the Eiffel Tower as beautiful backgrounds as you complete puzzles. Controls are swipe-based, so you can focus entirely on forming words and enjoying the scenery.

What's more, you can earn or buy gems, which you can use to purchase some help while playing like hints and skips if you find yourself getting stuck on a particular level. The game does come with ads and they can be a bit much at times. However, given that it's free, this is not surprising, but will nevertheless be a sore point for some players.

Traveling with words

Put simply, Words of Wonders: Crossword is a game that fans of the genre will enjoy playing. The controls are intuitive and there are plenty of levels to go through. The concept of traveling the world through puzzles is a nice twist and will help add to its lasting appeal. The ads can be a bit annoying, but aside from that, this is worth playing.
