Wordscapes review

Wordscapes is the most relaxing pick on this list, a good choice for seniors who want a word game without timers or scores to beat. Each level gives you a set of letters to connect into words that fill a small crossword, and PeopleFun lists more than 6,000 puzzles that start easy and ramp up. Unlimited tries remove pressure, and scenic backgrounds give the game a calm feel. It is available in English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese, which helps bilingual players. The game practices vocabulary, spelling and word recall, though it is a single puzzle type and does not track cognitive skills. Wordscapes is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for coins and bundles, and parents or caregivers can switch off purchases in device settings.
