Description

In each Bewilderword puzzle a 9 letter word has been scrambled and all of the words that can be made from those 9 letters have been laid out and hidden in a crossword-like pattern for you to find. The only catch is that each of the hidden words must contain the highlighted red letter tile.

Drag the tiles up from the tile rack to form words. Double tap to drop all your placed tiles back on to the tile rack. Shake your device to randomly shuffle the tiles on the tile rack to give you inspiration.

If you do get stuck press the "Clue" button to have one of the hidden letters revealed. But the goal is to try and solve 100% of the hidden words without getting any clues!

Enjoy it; but, family share broken

Really enjoy the game. Especially in the morning over coffee with the wife; however when we wanted more had to be individually even though the developer says it supports the “family sharing” Apple Store feature.

Spring for the Whole thing

Updating as of May 2020:
I bought the whole thing for around $5.00 or so. It’s such a fun game and buying it gave me every single puzzle back to 2010 or something. I’m making my way through day by day. It should take me awhile.

The one quirk I would like to see addressed is that the developer is obviously from the UK. Some words are mixed as being slang or colloquialism; I’ve lived with that. But then he should also not use British terms that are slang or colloquialisms in the US. It should work both ways.

I still love it and play till my eyeballs hurt on some days. It’s exactly my cup of tea.

Previous Review:
It is actually quite a fun game, but I agree with the first review - the price is steep. It can be like feeding an addiction. There should be a better way for the developers to make their money back… I guess I'll exhaust the “free” set and be done with it. Pity; I was so enjoying the game.

Almost Perfect

I normally don't like word games, I have dysgraphia, and spelling has always been a problem for me. I don't know how much this game is helping my spelling but between my mom and I we can almost always get a 100% on each puzzle!!
Two problems I have with the game are: One, there needs to be a way to sync the game, so that you could play on both your phone, and tablet!! Please!! Two, there have been a number of words that have seemed VERY odd! Some seem to be two words, while other just sound wrong to the ear.
Other than that it is a great game!!
