## What is SpellPix?

A new puzzle concept for word puzzle enthusiasts: SPELLPIX combines PathPix and word search fun. Draw bright, bold lines of color as you spell out words on the letter grid.  All the words begin and end on circled letters with matching colors. Your job is simple - just find the letters that go in between. 

Finish solving to see the miniature picture that you have created. As an extra reward you get a quip or quote related to the picture.

### 5/5 — Always a challenge

*2021-05-20, version 1.3*

Keeps me focused and entertained. Great way to fill some time.

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

*2019-04-10, version 1.3*

Wish another one of these would come out. I enjoy it so much.

4/2019
Downloading into my new iPad. Still wish there was more of them.

### 5/5 — Best Word Search You'll Find!

*2016-12-06, version 1.2*

I love PathPix and Word Search puzzles and this is an excellent combination of both in one app! When you set the difficulty option to hard, it makes for a very unique and challenging word search! Can't wait for the next one... If you love word search puzzles when you download this one it will become your favorite fast! Definitely worth buying ;-)

### 5/5 — What will he think of next?

*2014-10-10, version 1.1*

I'm a big fan of the many Pathpix games and wasn't sure I would like this. I like this even better than the rest. I'm hooked!

### 5/5 — Still Addictive

*2014-10-10, version 1.1*

Updated version - I am SOOO happy that the warning that x isn't a word is no longer a popup that I have to dismiss yay!! Still see the warning on bottom of screen which is perfect.

How about doing that with PrismaPix? That would be greatly appreciated!

From screenshots and name, I thought this was a game for kids. Wrong (yay)! Puzzles quickly increase in maximum word length, and the longest is 15 or so. Like PathPix, sometimes you think you have the right word until uh oh, you don't. Same game play as PixelPath. I really like this author's stuff!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2014-09-10, version 1.1*

Very engaging untimed puzzles, like PathPix but with words. The harder puzzles have some really neat words and lots of false leads (other words you can make that won't work). I also really appreciate it being universal (unlike most of the PathPix games, though the iPhone versions play just fine on iPads).

This and PathPix are some of my all time favorite puzzle apps. They are also excellent value for the money: many, many hours of enjoyable puzzles per app.

Two minor gripes: I hit the Hint button a bit too often, and (like all PathPix games) I find navigation occasionally frustrating (it moves when I want to draw or visa versa). I would appreciate a mode where one finger drag always draws, two fingers are needed to scroll.

### 5/5 — Addiction ++

*2014-07-30, version 1.0*

Don’t let the icon scare you away. The lite version is fun, the full version is beyond fun!

### 3/5 — Great, but....

*2014-07-15, version 1.0*

I love all the Path Pix games, including this one. The reason for 3 stars is it sometimes doesn't save your progress if you get out of the game mid-puzzle and go back in later. Fix this then it would be 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Awesome!!

*2014-06-04, version 1.0*

P.S. I only have one issue with the game.  It's much too easy to accidentally reset a puzzle, especially on the iPhone.  I've lost my progress on several occasions.   

It's PathPix with words instead of numbers.  What a great idea!  I like this better than regular PathPix, which is great too btw.    
Keep new levels coming!!  I can't put it down and don't want to run out even though there are lots of levels already!

### 3/5 — More path pix!!

*2014-05-24, version 1.0*

Although I am starting to enjoy this one, I love the path pix puzzles, 
I have bought and completed all the ones that are available you need to do more of those!
