Amazon Fire Free App of the Day: Word to Word (Mega)

Today's Free App of the Day is Word to Word (Mega) - A fun and addictive free word association game
Originally $1.99

This is a fun word game. Match words in two columns based on word association, which could be based on synonyms, antonyms, words used together (compound words or phrases): dog & cat hot & cold tasty & delicious fire & truck sugar & coffee laugh & tickle.

Starting at about level 11 of the Mega package for me, the games got a bit harder and there can be more than one match for some clues but then you'll end up with matches that can't be made, and the game will prompt you to change some of your selections.

The game comes with a Smile package of 40 puzzles (these seemed more difficult than the Mega Pack that came with it, at least initially!) and one Mega Pack of 400 puzzles. Five more mega packs of 400 puzzles each are available for $1.99 each, or you can buy ALL the mega packs for $4.99. You are prompted for a review, but that's easily avoided by saying "yes" to the review prompt and then immediately using the back button to go back to the game. Enjoyed this game--I like word puzzles. It has a brief tutorial, and a brief tutorial is really all that's needed. It only plays in one landscape mode. It will play in airplane mode. I tested it on my Kindle Fire HDX.

Today's Free App of the Day is TextTwist 2
Originally $1.99

This is a word game where you a get grid array to fill of words--three letter words, four letter words, five letter words, etc, up to seven letter words in the later rounds. You can change that to max of five or six in the options menu. If you guess a word that fits the longest word in the grid, the timer stops and you can move on to the next round or stay and try to finish all the words. I like that there's the option.

One reviewer complained about being asked each time; I suppose there could be an option to set it always move on or always stay in the round; it didn't bother me. You can change the dictionary to German, Spanish, French or Italian. There are five variations of games you can pay, I enjoyed all of them. There's a brief scrolling tutorial at the bottom of the game selection page, but there's also a help page on the main menu. Plays in either portrait mode and plays in airplane mode. I'd give it a strong four stars.

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Word Games Pack - 7 in 1 Bundle, plus Bonus App

Today's Free App of the Day is Word Games Pack - 7 in 1 Bundle
Originally $0.99

This is a set of seven word games. The games vary in quality; and even on easy mode, some are quite hard. I didn't have any of the problems playing the games on my Fire HDX that some mentioned in reviews. Zombie Hangman was fun but needs more than five guesses, I think. Word search was good, but not many words were found on the diagonal. Word defender needs more instruction. Tap on the letter, then on the word that the letter goes in. I agree with one reviewer that Word Mix seems to be based on a different English...after a certain point, trying random letters worked well for me. Falling Letters suffers from not enough vowels, even on Easy mode. Jumbler was one of my favorites, but I wish there were a way to remove a single letter rather than reset the whole thing; being able to tap a letter and then tap a new letter would help. Word Shuffle is difficult, be sure to use the "shuffle." I'd probably give this three stars. Not horrible, not great. So, there's a KBAAD* today.

26 of 35 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: Dropwords.

Today's KB Alternate App of the Day is Dropwords, a favorite on the iPad. This is like Word Shuffle in the FAOTD; you get a grid of letters and try to drag your finger from letter to letter to form words. You can play in a number of different modes--Normal, Hard (!), Lightning, Blocker, Relax and Untimed. The How to Play didn't work on my device.

 It's fairly easy to figure out, however. Drag your finger from letter to letter: up, down, diagonally to form words. Words are removed from the board once you use them. You can use each letter only once. Letters have point scores, use the highest score letters first. You are playing against the clock. As you form words of four or more letters, you are given multipliers; you earn the next multiplier by using the prior multiplier in a word (it can be two or more letters). I didn't have a problem with the ad at the top of the page. In fact, after I paused the game at one point, I didn't have the ad?

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day (July 22, 2014) - Just Three Words

Today's Free App of the Day is Just Three Words - Amazing Word Guessing Game
Originally $0.99

This is a well reviewed word game. You are given three words, like "bright, sun, warm" and have to guess the word that fits all three. You are given a collection of letters (not all the letters, just those you need plus some extras to make it more difficult, and the number of letters in the word you want to guess. So, if the letters for the word you want to use aren't available, or if it doesn't equal the number of letters shown, you're on the wrong track. You earn coins by solving puzzles, by signing in each day and you get 35 coins to start. The coins can be used to buy hints, which you'll need at some point.

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Master of Words PRO and Bonus App: Letris 3

Today's Free App of the Day is Master of Words PRO
Originally $1.99

This is a reasonably fun word game; you get a grid of letters and make words out of them by tapping. You are playing against the clock primarily, though you are also ranked against the rest of the people playing that game at that time. You also earn achievements based on number of words created, bonus stars used, number of rounds played, etc. Negatives are the requirement to be online and that you have to wait for a new round, though that doesn't take long. It played fine on my Fire HDX. I'd say that this is a better game than the reviews indicate with the major flaw being the requirement of Internet access. There is a frequent request for Facebook connection, but it isn't too annoying.

4 of 9 reviews are four stars and above.

So we have a bonus pick: Letris 3: Word Puzzle Game.

This is another word game that I've been playing on my iPad--a slightly different version in the iTunes Store (Letris 4) was free yesterday. I like this game quite a bit--you also make words from a grid against the clock, but there are some extra wrinkles that make the game more interesting plus you don't need Internet access. I think it's also better than the reviews indicate. You can buy out of the ads for $0.99.

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Just Seven Words - A Casual Game of Words

Today's Free App of the Day is Just Seven Words - A Casual Game of Words
Originally $0.99

This is a word game. You get a list of hints for a group of related words, in categories such as animals, foods, holidays, jobs, places or things. You are also given sets of letters that can be combined to form the words you have to solve for. As you determine words, you can check them off, so there's a process of elimination that helps in solving. There's also a hint system. By playing, you earn coins (50 each day that you play) that you can use to buy additional hints. No in app purchases with real money. Sometimes the hint is a kind of definition or synonym, such as "Bunny snack" which is carrots. Sometimes the word is part of a phrase, and part of the phrase is given. Hint: Bear Answer: Trap. Nice game!

Kindle Fire Free App of the Day: Word Surge

Today's Free App of the Day is Word Surge
Originally $0.99

This is a word game where you get a set of letters and then try to make the best scoring word from that set. There are tiles that give bonus points. Once you've created a word for a row of letters, you get another set. It's a time game, you go for the best score in the time given. I wish it would give you a high scores list, but other than that, it's a fun little word game. Your high score IS shown on the main game screen. (214,900!)
