► WORK WONDERS WITH WORDS Word game aficionados, get ready to be wowed with the latest and greatest vocabulary building connections puzzle! Each level contains sets of 4 items or words that you’ll need to uncover, with categories ranging from bullfighting, tree parts, countries, and more. As you progress the number of sets to merge will grow, as will the complexity, so you’ll really need to stop and think before making your guesses as you seek to figure out which words are associated with which. But don’t worry, this game is low stress – take as long as you want to search and connect sets and enjoy word merging fun. ► NO WORD SALAD HERE Word Jam makes building your vocabulary simple: each game level contains a list of words that have been jumbled up, and your task is to figure out what categories they belong to and merge those 4 words together. This puzzle adds extra layers, with new words appearing in later levels, and the use of emojis and icons to make guessing extra fun! Not only is solving tricky puzzles fun, this type of game is a great way to help your brain stay sharp, so players of all ages are encouraged to get searching and connecting! ► LOOK FORWARD TO: ◾ Multiple merging – like typical word merging games, Word Jam has set levels where you’ll need to search for and connect the matching words or objects. Where it gets extra fun is that as you progress, the puzzle levels increase in difficulty! Not all of the words may be visible at first, and sometimes the sets you’ve matched will reappear in the form of an object that is itself part of a new set. ◾ Chill puzzling – making associations between words and training your brain can be hard as it is, so why make it harder? Thanks to the lack of timer and ability to get hints and help, you’ll never find yourself completely stuck on a level or worried about your reaction time– there’s always a way to solve it! You’ll be able to fly through puzzles or sit and work through them at your own pace, the choice is yours. ◾ Cool graphics – the focus in this game is on the connections and associations formed between words, not flashy graphics or crazy colors. This combined with the relaxing nature of the game will have you entering a zen-like wording state in no time! ► VOCAB-URIFIC FUN Build your vocabulary, train your brain to make connections, and have fun: with Word Jam you can do all of that, easy-peasy! This game is great for all ages thanks to the simple graphics, relaxing play, and increasingly difficult levels that will challenge even the most dedicated word game players.
