Word Finder

Well, I decided to give Word Finder on Play123 a shot, and you know what? It’s like leaping into a digital jungle of letters where your objective, if you’re willing to take it, is to root out as many words as you can find before time is up. It’s a hoot, particularly when you are racing against the ticking clock. Plus, it’s playable on your PC or mobile, so it’s a great way to pass some time in those boring moments.

I saw some other gamers complain that the game just ends a little too suddenly, which makes it hard to sit back and soak in the glow of your high scores. For scoring you actually have until the end of the six match days, so there is a little bit of a mystery in the scoring system, but that's all part of the fun right? Adding a little uncertainty to a game has never hurt anyone.

Conversely, the option to select languages lends an extra little bit of spice to the challenge, making it a nice fit for word buffs who want to flex their linguistic muscles. And yes, there’s a sweet competitive aspect here too, as you can save your scores on Play123 in a desperate attempt to outdo yourself or friends.

In short, Word Finder is a delightful brain tease.
