Letter Box - Word Games for Brain Training

This is a game I’ve looked at in the App Store a million times, but only just now downloaded. The developer is a favorite, Ross McNamara, whose ultraminimalist games Logic Grid Puzzles and Cryptograms have kept me continually entertained for the three years since I first downloaded them.❤️ While I always thought Letter Box 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 pretty, I didn’t think it’d hold my attention. I was wrong. By Day Two, when the offer popped up to buy all kajillion puzzles (current AND future, for a very reasonable 99¢), I was absolutely ready to own it. It’s clever and fun, and challenging right from the start. So many of the better, mega-level games take FOREVER to get challenging (WordBrain and Har•Mo•Ny, for example) — so this is one of my happiest things about Letter Box. The artwork is LOVELY, the sounds — DIVINE. It’s a wonder this is created by the same dev as Logic Grid Puzzles, which is aesthetically just a teensy step up from traditional pencil-and-paper versions (Ross’ highly amusing writing is what sells that game). The sounds remind me of those beautifully simple, soothing, metallic-mechanical click-whirr sounds you hear working a fishing reel on a placid, mist-laden lake at dawn. I’m seriously in love with this game’s sounds.☺️ …And that’s no small endorsement: Typically, I quickly become annoyed with game sounds and turn them all off forever. I’d enjoy the addition of some nice haptics. Here’s the only glitch I’ve encountered thus far: Once I’d completed my first 4x4 puzzle, the expected achievement popped up — but then, erroneously, so did the 5x5 achievement. Not too shabby as errors go. I do note, however, there’s apparently been no updates in… THREE YEARS??! Happily tho, the app seems to work fine with the current iOS. ⚠️Mssr. McNamara needs to put his dev hat back on: YOUR “BABY” IS LIKE, SIX NOW.😄 Get back to work, you!🚧 Thanks for another great brain game — 🄻🄸🅃🄴🅁🄰🅁🄸🄻🅈(™)

Also couldn’t get the tiles to move. Thought I was doing something wrong but couldn’t see a way to get back to the tutorial to check. Also deleted the game.
