WordsInOrder 4+

Figuring out the logic in the word sequence has become a tag team event for my wife and I. We love talking through the potential solutions and narrowing down our options before we submit the tiles.

I wish this game were available when we were prepping my kids for the SAT. The word association and ability to lookup up definitions easily would have been a great way to practice critical thinking skills while also reinforcing and sometimes introducing new words and definitions.

I’ve also introduced the game to my parents. As seniors they like to play games that are easy to learn on their phones but also challenging cognitively. Words in Order has been a great way for them to stay sharp and have something more interesting than Facebook to interact with in waiting rooms at doctor’s offices.

What’s great is that I play it to relax or to wind down a bit. It’s fun and I feel like it’s also exercising part of my brain that makes complex associations. Love, love, love this game!

Once you start playing this game, it is hard to stop. Like Wordle, its simplicity is its greatest strength— it keeps making you think in deceptively complex ways. And it is not just strong logic that gets you through, there is a lot of art to the sequence based on human experiences. So food for both left brain and right brain! And also I have recently found that you can engage friends in solving, just like driving games of old. Really enjoying it!

Such a fun game that’s easy to use. Great coding, easy instructions, and amazing challenges. SO FUN.
