Word Connect review

Word Connect from ZenLife Games has the most App Store ratings of any game here, 1.5 million, and two features that matter for a gentle pace: the developer states there are no time limits, and the game has a full offline mode. You swipe letter blocks to build words that fill a crossword grid, choosing between normal mode, crossword mode and a daily challenge, across more than 30,000 levels. The wooden block graphics and up to 11 themes give it a classic look, and family members can send each other coins through Facebook. The game is free. The weak spot is value for those who pay: the Word Club membership is billed at $6.99 per week, which adds up fast, and the listing describes an optional setting that trades device resources for free coins and ad-free play, worth checking in settings. Free players can ignore both and still get the full puzzle set. We compared documented features and published prices.
