wurdweb

Very challenging. Everybody scores higher than I do.

Alternate universe Scrabble where dictionaries give no advantage: wurdweb is a single player game where you are need to place given words on a board, where the words are given to you already. Your task is to figure out how to place these words, while gaining access to new words, without blocking yourself in the process. You typically start with two or three words that you can place, but the game says, hey, place 15 words. So you need to hit one of the coloured tiles, which give you extra words; how do you get there from the available given words and spaces? At its core, this is the game: get words, figure out how to hit the next "add words" tile, repeat. But the peculiarities of words, languages, and wurdweb's own rules come into play. For instance, Scrabble players might be familiar with the concept of putting down one line of tiles, which makes multiple words: this isn't allowed in wurdweb. If you make one word, it has to intersect with one letter and make just one word* instead of being parallel. For instance, you can't place HEDGE along RAW to make HEDGE, HA, and EW all at once. You also can't make append to the beginning or ends of a word, it must intersect. So putting PLAYS on GAME to make both PLAYS and GAMES. But PLAYS along the A in GAME is fine. This presents a conundrum to word building, especially if you're an old Scrabbler like myself. Building parallel words to each other can limit your possible word placement. Building to the bottom right and only that can severely limit yourself. The trickiness is mitigated by a couple of things: unlimited (as far as I can tell) undo-s, and perfect knowledge of what words you have available (including what words are impossible to place in the current board state). The other main mode is precision, and basically it gives you a limited number of words, and end goal tile that your words have to reach, and limited add word tiles. This is more of a pure, normally-one-solution puzzle rather than the more open ended, free-form puzzle that the main game is like. If one of them is hard, there's a progressive hint system here too which tells you what word to focus on and where to place if needed. There's also different themes (word sets), different languages, different board sizes, different word goal limits, to change things up, not to mention Daily Challenges (where score points tiles are added, get the highest score) Overall, it's a great chill time killer, especially if you like the idea of navigating limited space on board. It's not the same kind of game at all, but I get the same vibes off of this that I do Dorfromantik. Especially excellent for small breaks in between work (don't tell my boss) * I have not managed to intersect two different words to "bridge the gap" so to speak yet.

A fun way to pass the time.

штука интересная, особенно для лингвистических душнил вроде меня :>
