The ‘Rubik's Cube’ of word search! It’s like if Word Search and ‘Boggle’ had a baby and made it in 3-D they’d call it ‘Word Head.’ You manipulate a 3-D cube floating in mid air looking for words that can wrap and twist around the sides of the cube. Move the cube up, down, 180 degrees to the left, 90 degrees to the right, there’s nothing like it. Word Head is highly addictive because its rotating 3 dimensional cube challenges players to quickly discover words from either a pre-selected or player-customized list. Find the word, score points. Once you find them all there’s one more hurdle to clear, you must discover a special ‘hidden’ word to win the game. Word Head has numerous themed word lists to play, with many to unlock through the Alphabet Quest. Each block on the rotating 3D cube has a different letter that can be used to spell a word – whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Players can rotate the 3D cube to search for the words listed on their screen. Players also can make their own word lists from an extensive word look-up provided in English, French, German, and Spanish – over 1.6 million words! Share your custom word lists with friends through iMessage. Plus Word Head uses the iOS dictionary to provide definitions for many of the words. And there are numerous Achievements and Leader Boards to rank your Word Head on the Game Center. So have fun, improve your mind and vocabulary, and play Word Head! Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Requires iOS 17.0 or later.
