Wordly Review
by on September 9, 2010
When a game show like Countdown can be running as long as it has or scrabble stay as popular as it has for so long, you know words have a mighty attraction. Wordly is a finely executed cross between an old-school word search and Countdown.
You’ll find yourself trying to find any possible combination of letters from a seemingly random grid of letters. This might sound easy but it’s fiendishly tricky and surprisingly hard. The number of possible combinations is shockingly high and in a way we’d like something more controlled. But this is fun and you’re presented with a full list and the ones you got right when the time runs out.
It feels a little limited as only 4×4 boards are available or 5×5 on 400×800 resolution devices. But as the boards are randomly generated and you can define your own time limit and anyone who loves word puzzles is going to be captivated. It’s well presented and most importantly fun.

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
