Draw a line between the letter tiles and find the solution word before the clock runs out. That's the whole game – and it gets hard fast. The tiles drift around the board and bump into each other. One word completes the level, but every other word you spot along the way buys you time and fills the power-up meter. Longer words give more. That's just how it is. The power-ups are half the fun. Freeze the clock. Remove tiles you don't need. Or trigger Chaos: ten seconds where your only job is to smash the tiles into each other as hard as you can. I'll say no more. BeadLink plays in English and Norwegian. No account. No subscription. Just words. Made by one small developer in Norway. Found something odd, or have an idea?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeadLink at none against Tricky Castle's 4. BeadLink also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). Tricky Castle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
