Wordnest. It's a pecking great game! OK so I used to play this word game called WordzUp literally every single day. It was my favourite game on my phone, no contest. Then one day it just vanished from the app stores. Gone. I tried so many other word games to fill the gap and honestly none of them came close. So I thought right, I'll just build my own. And honestly? I'm so proud of how it turned out. Wordnest is a boggle style word game. You get a grid of letters, swipe to spell words, and try to find as many as you can before the timer runs out. Thats basically it but trust me, once you start you can't stop. HOW TO PLAY Swipe your finger across the letter tiles to spell words. Letters have to be next to each other, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Longer words score more points. Find every single word on the board for a perfect game bonus! WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT This is the thing I'm most excited about. Wordnest has a huge dictionary, over 113,000 words. You will absolutely find words you've never heard of, and you can tap any word to see its full definition right there in the app. I genuinley learn new words every time I play. You can save words to your Word Nest (your own personal collection) and then quiz yourself on them later. Its basically a vocabulary builder disguised as a game and I love that about it. DAILY PUZZLE New puzzle every day, same board for everyone in the world. Build your streak, compare scores, share your result. This is probably my favourite feature, I do it every morning with my coffee. PLAY YOUR WAY Four grid sizes from quick 3x3 all the way up to massive 6x6 boards. Five time limits from 1 minute to No Limit mode where you can just relax and take your time. Set a minimum word length if you want to skip the short words. Every game gets its own unique puzzle number so you can share it with friends and they'll get the exact same board. FEATURES Egg shaped letter tiles (because its a nest, obviously). Hint system when you're stuck (costs eggs which you earn by playing or buy in the egg store). Five colour themes. Rotate the board when you're stuck for a fresh perspective. Full stats tracking so you can see your vocabulary improving. Puzzle history with share buttons for every game. And Pip the bird who keeps you company and cheers you on, I think he's cute. I built this whole thing myself because I just wanted my favourite word game back. If you used to play WordzUp, or you love Boggle, or you just enjoy a good word puzzle, please give Wordnest a go. I really think you'll love it.
