Jan. ## Frequently asked questions about WORD PUSH ### What is Word Push? Word Push is a unique word puzzle game that combines elements of popular word board games. It challenges players to remove gem-colored letter tiles by forming words, with the unique rule that all tiles of the same color must be included in the word. The game features 100 levels of increasing difficulty, special abilities, and a focus on both vocabulary and strategy. ### How do I play Word Push? The goal is to remove all gem-colored letter tiles. You do this by forming a word that includes the letters from the gem-colored tiles. A key rule is that if you select a gem-colored tile letter, you must also select all other gem-colored tiles of the same color within your word. You can move tiles by selecting the direction from which new letters will push into the grid. Strategizing your tile pushes is crucial to align gem tiles for word formation. ### What are the special abilities in Word Push? As you progress, you can acquire special abilities called 'Word-manas'. These abilities help you solve puzzles. For example, you can choose a non-dictionary valid word by selecting adjacent tiles of the same letter, or you can choose two-letter valid words. Each special ability requires a certain mana value to activate. ### Is Word Push free to play? No, Word Push is a paid application. The description explicitly states 'Absolutely no In-App purchase (You buy it it's yours)' and 'Absolutely no Ads (Designed for end user enjoyment)', indicating a one-time purchase model for the full game experience without any additional costs or advertisements. ### What makes Word Push different from other word games? The game's uniqueness stems from its core mechanic: the requirement to include all gem-colored tiles of the same letter within a formed word. This, combined with the tile-pushing mechanism and the strategic alignment of letters, creates a fresh and engaging challenge not typically found in standard word puzzle games. The game also emphasizes strategic planning alongside vocabulary skills. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 10.0 — 2024-08-08 App optimization ### 9.0 — 2024-08-05 Updated to IOS 17.2, App optimization, updated to 60Fps, visual aesthetics ### 3.0 — 2012-10-17 added other developer's app link in about box ### 2 — 2012-09-27 fix display for level 100 and 78 ### 1 — 2012-07-27 No release notes. ## Apps similar to WORD PUSH | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Word Block Search](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-block-search/id6450882184) | — | Free | Games | | [Word Search Swipe - Word Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-search-swipe-word-games/id1455701423) | — | Free | Games | | [Linky Blocks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/linky-blocks/id1645884144) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Games | | [CrossAbout](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crossabout/id6474667192) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Games | | [Black Friday Market](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/black-friday-market/id6464127820) | — | Free | Games | | [Drop It Match!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/drop-it-match/id6741691749) | — | Free | Games | ## More apps by ROBERTO MANONGDO - [Geography Champion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/geography-champion/id561891398) - [Next Word - word association](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/next-word-word-association/id568726733) - [WORD PUZZLE for the SOUL](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-puzzle-for-the-soul/id575075246) - [CROSSWORD CRYPTOGRAM](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crossword-cryptogram/id601853212) - [WORD PUZZLE for CHRISTIAN SOUL](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-puzzle-for-christian-soul/id620236247) All apps by ROBERTO MANONGDO: https://appshunter.io/developer/537157652 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
