Features & Capabilities

In each Bewilderword puzzle a 9 letter word has been scrambled and all of the words that can be made from those 9 letters have been laid out and hidden in a crossword-like pattern for you to find. The only catch is that each of the hidden words must contain the highlighted red letter tile.

Drag the tiles up from the tile rack to form words. Double tap to drop all your placed tiles back on to the tile rack. Shake your device to randomly shuffle the tiles on the tile rack to give you inspiration.

If you do get stuck press the "Clue" button to have one of the hidden letters revealed. But the goal is to try and solve 100% of the hidden words without getting any clues!

User Reviews

Bewilderword is praised for its engaging, original word-puzzle concept and a substantial puzzle library when bought. However, reviewers repeatedly criticize the pricing model (expensive, monthly/recurring costs) and the perceived limited content for the price. Some also report vocabulary inconsistencies and a few polish issues. Overall, the core concept is strong, with price and content pacing as the main drawbacks.

Pros

Engaging, addictive word-puzzle gameplay that blends crossword and anagrams.
Unique concept that appeals to word-game lovers and offers a satisfying challenge.
Substantial content when purchased, including a large back catalog of puzzles.

Cons

Pricing model is expensive and relies on recurring monthly payments or frequent extra purchases.
Content density concerns: free puzzles are limited and ongoing access requires additional costs, making value debated.
Word-list/lexicon inconsistencies and odd vocabulary (regional slang or unusual terms) noted by players.

Recent reviews

Simple, engaging game. Just wish the menu was on the bottom like Wordstorm. And maybe a timer option. Great game and well worth the money.

Love WordStorm, but not this one. Not a relaxing experience. Not recommended.

I’ve run the game once, played for 30 minutes, shut it down. Now when it loads I can only purchase the back catalog of puzzles for $5.99, no other button responds. I’m sorry but one brief play is not enough to justify turning $6 of a fixed income to the developer.
