Jewell for Word Jewels

I really enjoy this game. The clicking sounds are soothing as the tiles gently click to place and the chime at the end of the puzzle is soothing as well. I like that you can get simple three letter words and still clear the board. I like that if you fail a level you can restart at your last highest level. It’s a nice way to unwind at the end of the night for me.
