The real delight and depth in Bookworm Adventures is in the shape of the varied and tactical gameplay. You also travel through Greek mythology and then later the Arabian Nights, which will sharpen up your history and folklore knowledge as a bonus. I sometimes feel compelled to manually search for the meanings of my new found vocabulary, but others won't. This way you could easily find out what the words you are using actually mean. There has, however, been a good chance missed by not including a dictionary or thesaurus into the game. By playing around with letters I find myself learning how to spell words correctly, and even learning new words unexpectedly. This is, as you might expect, where my educational claims come into effect. The bigger the word and the harder the letters you use (K or Z for example), the more damage you do.

To do this you simply have to try and build a word with letters from a 4x4 grid. The story involves you, as the adorable worm (not something I say everyday) Lex, going out to save your run of the mill princess. But how well does the theory really work?īookworm Adventures is a word puzzle game, and at its core it's very simple. Mix this with charming appeal and satisfying gameplay, and you have a great concept. It's the fact that this game is educating me in the English language while I write this very review which is a refreshing excuse to play more. Bookworm Adventures however breaks this trend. Unless you're in a deeply intoxicated state at a school reunion, cute and educational are words unlikely to make it into the same sentence.
