Word Pebbles
Read full descriptionHide full description
Word Pebbles is a calm word puzzle set in beautifully painted landscapes. Swipe across ceramic letter pebbles to spell the hidden words. Every pebble can only be used a few times, so plan your paths: pebbles press softly into their sockets as you swipe and shatter on their final use, until the board is clear. HOW TO PLAY ⢠Swipe across neighbouring letters to spell a word; diagonal moves open up as you progress. ⢠The small number on each pebble shows how many more times it can be used. ⢠Find every word on the board to clear the level. FEATURES ⢠1,000 levels in English and 1,000 in Turkish. Switch the word language at any time. ⢠20 regions, each with its own serene landscape; complete one to unveil the next. ⢠No timers, no lives: play at your own pace. ⢠Extra words you discover grow your Word Garden, which pays out coins or boosters. ⢠Boosters for when you are stuck: reveal a letter, trace the path of the longest word, or solve a word. ⢠New twists along the way: golden pebbles, misty words and leaf pairs. ⢠Gentle hints guide you through the first levels. ⢠Your progress is saved to the cloud. Relax, think, and let the words come to you.
