For lovers of travel, word challenges, word search, relaxing word puzzles and word brain games this is the most fun with words you can have, travelling the globe without even leaving your home!

More destinations will be added over the coming months. A game for the whole family, Word Travels has super simple gameplay mechanics that anyone can master. The goal is to fill the blank spaces in each word search puzzle which act as a guide to help with the words to complete for that level. Earn coins as you complete each level and use these to buy hints if you get stuck. Special bonus words in some levels give you the chance to gain even more coins while finding extra words within each level also gives you additional coins so players are incentivized to find as many words as possible within the set of letters provided. The game isnโ€™t timed so relax and take your time completing each puzzle as you are whisked away to beautiful locations in some of the most amazing cities from around the globe.
