10x10 Arabic

There is something about 10x10 Arabic which appealed to me from the outset. It could have been the fragrant appeal of an Arabian-themed game; or a pledge for a tough puzzle that takes not just a smidgen of strategy but a spoonful. Right off the bat, you’re asked to fill up a 10x10 grid with tiles, a straightforward idea that manically unfolds into a delightful puzzle.

As a casual gaming dabbler, I got pleasantly hooked on this. Yes, there were times my skull got closer to being gouged out than I cared for, where I was even moreconfused what to do next than when you can’t decide whether mint or cinnamon tea sounds better that evening (okay, guess what? mint, there, saved you a few minutes). The game does not lie — it takes a lot of patience as you build up a strategy, one tile at a time.

I spotted a handful of bubbles of frustration from fellow players about scores not being reflected correctly or other minor hiccups. But these felt less like deal breakers than small pebbles in a mighty desert of fun. Coupled with the competitive spirit that saves high scores here on Play123 added an even handy layer to this particular environment. Overall, 10x10 Arabic is a Greatest Hits compilation of satisfying words and relaxed puzzle-solving — with a side order of strategic test-of-wit. Whether you’re searching for some timekillers or trying to improve your puzzle solving dexterity, this is the hidden gem you were looking for in the vast sands of the internet. So pour yourself a cup of tea, find your favorite reading nook, and give it a spin. Who knows? You never know, it may be the missing puzzle piece in your casual gaming collection.
