Super Text Twist Review

Review by Dylan

Super TextTwist is a straightforward word game that forces you to rack your brain and figure out as many words as you can in a 2:30 time frame. You will unscramble and “twist” the letters given to figure out as many of the three, four, five, and six letter word combinations you can. Make sure you get the coveted seven-letter word, otherwise your game will conclude and you will not advance to the next level.

Scramble Letters = Scrambled Brain!

The simple object of Super TextTwist is to form words from the letters provided. You must find at least one word that uses all the letters to continue playing to the next level, and bonus points are awarded for figuring out all the words on a given level. Despite the easy premise and simple gameplay, Super TextTwist is not to be taken lightly. This unassuming word game packs a big punch. Figuring out words is not as easy as it may seem, especially given the time restraints.

Timed and Untimed Modes

Super TextTwist offers two game modes that differ slightly, yet are similar in playing style and difficulty. The first mode is an unlimited time game. In this you are given either six or seven letters (can be adjusted) and you have to spell out words. This mode gives you the luxury of time, however, all the words must be figured out before you can advance to the next level. This might bring about a lot of frustration, especially if you are stuck on one word.

The second mode is a timed challenge mode. This has you racing against a clock. You have 2:30 to figure out one word that incorporates all the letters given. If you do this you advance to the next round regardless of the other words you find. Twisting the letters (scrambling them in a different order) can help you figure out different word combinations because changing the letter order can give you new insight. The timed element brings a lot of pressure and increases the difficulty immensely.

Can Be Difficult For Younger Players

The major drawback to this game is with the difficulty settings. You cannot adjust the difficulty so this becomes a game for older users. The pressure and the wide range of words may make this too difficult for younger players. Also, because the game is the same level to level, it could easily get old. You might find yourself getting bored after playing for an hour or so. This game is addictive and you are certainly going to enjoy playing, however, it is best in small doses. Continual play can get slightly monotonous.

Conclusion - Recommened For Those Looking For a Challenge

Overall, Super TextTwist is highly recommended. If you are a fan of word games such as Boggle or Bookworm, you are going to love this game. Be warned, it can be difficult to find the big words and advance, but if you are looking for a challenge don't hesitate to play this game.
