Wordyssey is a new and addictive word game that offers a twist on conventional word games. It is a single player experience that is both fun and challenging for players of all ages. It is a must play for word game hobbyists. Players are presented with a set of 5 letters in their inventory at a time that they must place onto the board. The objective is to form whatever words you can think of. Words can be formed vertically or horizontally, must be a minimum of 4 letters in length, and can only be used once per game. When words are formed, they will disappear, earning the player points. Scores can also be increased by collecting coins and gems. Players must also contend with random letters and locks that will appear periodically. Forming words with these special letters will earn the player more points than usual. Destroying locks should be considered a priority as they take up space and block potential words from being formed. Destroy them by making a word that touches the lock. The game is over once 40 slots on the board contain a letter. In addition to earning high scores, players can also climb the ranks by completing challenges. Each challenge presents a unique twist and will progressively get more difficult with each rank. The challenge Coin Collector will have the player collect a certain amount of coins. Word Wizard will ask the user to create a specified number of words of a given length. In Score Master, the player needs to earn a certain score. Lock Pick demands the user destroy a certain number of locks. The Survivor challenge will have the player stay alive for a consecutive number of moves under the slot total of 10. Finally, in No Fours, the player has to create a specified number of words consecutively which have 5 or more letters. By completing these challenges, you will work your way through the ranks of Rookie, Experienced, Professional and Expert to finally reach the highest rank of Master.
