## What is Happi Words?

3 pictures - 1 missing word. Figure out the word from the scrambled letters provided, spell it and collect funny characters (50+). Happi Words is a vocabulary, spelling and association game for 6-9 year-olds that stimulates lateral thinking and sharpens your creative problem solving skills. It also promotes academic risk taking with its built-in multilevel hint system that encourages players to try their own solution before asking for help.

- The game has been featured multiple times in App Stores all over the world and 
- Has been recommended for the special needs community by A4cwsn.com who says that it is "A really fun and educational word association game for kids that will help improve picture/word association, spelling and vocabulary, highly recommended"

Happi Words is the 7th learning game from the award winning Happi series. In this game kids (and parents) will try to figure out and spell the word that connects three pictures. When you do, you are rewarded with stars that buys really cool and funny collectors cards. Every level has lifelines to help you along if you get stuck. Try not to use them unless you really have to as solving a level on your own will give you the option to save your earned stars for later so that you can afford the hard to get cards at the top of the deck.

Happi Words has been meticulously crafted to be: 
• Hard to put down (you will want to win all the cards, we promise) 
• Educational (you will have to use both your logic and spelling skills) 
• Strategic (should I get this card now or save up for a more expensive one) 
• Clever (every card has a funny name and status message) 
• Beautiful (just look at the screen shots…:-)
• Passed around as it gives you the option to create different user profiles

 Special note to parents: All collectors cards have a name and a short status message which have been purposefully designed to, on occasion, spur questions from your child. We have done so because we believe in involving the parent in the gaming experience. You should expect to hear questions like: What does this mean, how is this funny, why did they call him that…

### 5/5 — Einfach nur klasse für die Klasse!

*2015-12-13*

Ich weiß nicht, warum das Spiel so wenig Beachtung im Store findet. Es ist ein super Spiel für die Primarstufe. Es fördert das Herstellen von Analogien, die Rechtschreibung und die Konzentration. Nebenbei ist es sehr sehr schön illustriert.
Gerade auch für Gruppen sehr interessant, denn zusammen Rätseln macht immer noch am meisten Spaß :-)

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2015-06-09, version 2.1*

Fala q tem linguagem português mas não tem

### 1/5 — Can't get the letters in boxes, don't "snap" in

*2015-05-09*

I know the answer to the first one is green but I cannot put the letters in the boxes and have it except each letter. I don't see a way to go continue in the game if the letters don't snap into the boxes.  iPhone 6. Tried website no support, not sure how to get help.

### 5/5 — Génial

*2015-04-17*

J'adore le concept aiguise le sens de l'obervation et fait travailler l'orthographe de ma fille, seule hic trop court elle a dėjà presque fini tous les niveaux! Il faudra faire une mise à jour! se joue aussi en anglais et dans d'autres langues

### 1/5 — Porcaria

*2015-03-05, version 2.1*

A idéia é até interessante mas por mais que você coloque as letras sobre os quadradinhos elas não se encaixam formando as respostas. Um desperdício de dinheiro

### 5/5 — HappiWords=HappiKids

*2014-10-26*

My students loved this app right from the start. They really liked thinking of the connection between word cards. It was also having the spelling practice.

### 4/5 — Great app for word association and critical thinking!

*2014-10-22*

This app is definitely for spelling practice and critical thinking. The word association is fun and can be challenging. The child earns stars and can buy digital cards with stars, however this feature is not explained very well.

### 5/5 — Happi Words a Happy Experience

*2014-10-22*

This app allows learners to explore word assoication by presenting photos that players must determine what they have in common.  The learner can then select letters to spell out the common word. The app appeals to players because of its game style with reward cards for completing an activity.  It includes hints such as category and part of speech.  The animation is colorful and applealing.

### 5/5 — Colorful, Educational, Fun!!

*2014-10-22*

My 2nd grade students didn’t want to put this one down! They loved the challenge of trying to guess the answer and spell the words without using the clues. They also loved getting a reward with every answer. This one really holds their attention! So much fun!!

### 5/5 — Categorization Fun

*2014-10-21*

A fun and challenging app for kids. Students must decide how three pictures are related. It promotes thinking beyond common categories of food, animals etc. Instead students identify things that re hot or things that fly. Even my language delayed students found it to be fun. The different level of hints were helpful. The card reward system was not clear. Otherwise a great way to build understanding and analyze similarities.
