## What is What's the Lyric?

What's the Lyric is unlike other '4 Pics' or 'What's the' games.  This one has been lovingly hand-crafted to give you a fun, challenging, and often hilarious game of word puzzles.  Test your musical forte against comical drawings, each one representing a song title you have to guess!

Epic genre-spanning campaign consisting of hundreds of hand-drawn puzzles
Make your own path through dozens of themed categories spread across the world map!  There are hours and hours of gameplay to be had, and 90 downloadable levels, 40 of which are totally free!  That’s a LOT of game for your next road trip.  This expands the number of initially unlocked categories to seven!

No annoyances
It's a shame this has to be a "feature."  Play our game when you want it, however you want it.  No time restrictions, no distractions in your notification menu, no bugging your friends to move forward.  If you're good at the game, play it all for free!  If you want to buy-in and unlock everything up front, you can do that too.  Skipping levels is free, so complete each category in whatever order you like!  There is also a hint system for when you're stumped on a song.

Daily Coin Bonuses
By (very) popular demand, we’re modifying the previous point to include one notification each day that gives you a daily boost to your coins! But don’t worry, you can easily turn this off if for some reason you hate free money.

Easy to learn, easy to use
Every aspect of the game has been carefully designed with you in mind.  Entering and deleting song titles happens with an "it just works" attitude. Shake your phone to randomize the available letters. Oh, and *WE* have a backspace button.

iPad support!
Not only does this version add full support for iPad, it also adds landscape support for those big tablets.  If holding it upright is giving you strain, turn the game on its side!

Massive variety of song puzzles
Pop, Country, Rap, Oldies, Hip Hop, and even special categories like One-hit Wonders and 80's Divas!  Featuring songs by:

Alicia Keys
Bing Crosby
Carrie Underwood
Christina Perri
Daft Punk
Eagles
Elton John
Elvis Presley
Eminem
Fleetwood Mac
Florida Georgia Line
Frank Sinatra
Garth Brooks
George Strait
Green Day

It’s so fun honestly I’m addicted

**Developer response:** We're glad you like the game! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review :)

### 5/5 — Five stars

*2019-08-23*

The reason for my rating is because it progressively got harder instead of having two easy levels and then the rest are hard or loads of easy levels and barely any hard like most games. As well as this, it doesn't make you watch an ad every five seconds, and so far, I haven't watched any unless if I wanted to get coins. The game is also playable without paying for anything, and there are many varied topics that have multiple levels so the game doesn't end soon. I haven't finished the game and I've had it for about a week (unless if you play it 24/7, then I'm not sure, but as somebody who plays it for around 10-15 minutes a day, I'd say the game is pretty long-lasting and decent). Thank you for spending your time to read my review.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the awesome review! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the game :)
