Words of Wonders Zen is a masterclass in 'relaxing productivity.' It takes the familiar crossword-style mechanic and pairs it with breathtaking scenery and a soundtrack that actually helps you focus.
The difficulty curve is very well-balanced; it never feels impossible, but it frequently makes you pause and think. The 'Zen' branding isn't just a gimmick—the UI is clean and the transitions are smooth. It's the perfect game for a morning coffee or a quiet evening. One of the best word games currently on the market.
Thousands of curated levels
Stunning nature backgrounds
Daily challenges and rewards
Offline play support
Always look for words that aren't in the grid. Finding 'Extra Words' earns you gems that can be used for hints later in the game.
Swipe your finger across the letter wheel to form words. If the word is in the crossword, it will appear in its place.
Gems can be used to buy hints, such as revealing a single letter or a whole word in the grid.
The levels aren’t as difficult as I’d like.. even when you’re at level 70 and it says it’s “hard”, it doesn’t really seem much different difficulty wise, compared to the 10 levels you just did before that. Progression is also a bit slow for unlocking new things. Even so, I like giving my brain a mental workout daily. I enjoy the different take on a word game. I like the zen/calmness of the app, and unlocking new chapters which take you to new places, where afterwards you can save the images if you like the picture. I also love the koi pond aspect, and would enjoy if they were added to the homepage when I first open the app… I appreciate that I don’t have to watch ads after everything I do or complete. That’ll be the biggest reason I’d always choose and recommend this word game over any other! Of course there’s choices to watch ads if you want to get something extra for hints and whatnot, but it doesn’t force me to watch ads after I complete a level or any other time, it’s my choice to do so. So that already makes me say I love the app lol. Even if there’s a couple things I’d suggest be done a bit differently, I still love the app and it deserves a 5/5!
It’s a very fun game with lots of variety in puzzle difficulty. I like the option of a daily puzzle in addition to the regular puzzles. I like that I can turn off all the sounds, for me they are just a distraction rather than relaxing. The app is very graphics heavy and will drain your battery, so beware. Lots of background and level transition graphics that I think are unnecessary. There’s also a lot of unnecessary clicking required. Click to “get” your reward, click to “claim” that same reward!? Click to go to next level, click to go to next chapter. It’s an engagement ploy and rather annoying. But not a deal breaker. The app is glitchy and freezes often. A couple of bugs pop up whenever they update. I do wish there were options to turn off the tracking of how many days you played. I’m sure it’s supposed to be a motivation to keep playing daily but it just reminds me that I need to put my phone down and do something other than play this game everyday.
Then after finishing up level 100, the ads started popping up. Only ads I’ve tolerated is for extra hints. I will never pay to remove ads, therefore I will remove the game instead. I was so pleased to see a game which finally had no ads popping up every time you finished something. At least I made it to level 100
I plat a lot of word games but this one is the best! Points can even be scores for a word(s) not used in the game. It allows you to build up extra points that turn into a free letter when stuck! I play it several times a day. Don’t skip the daily game either as it too gives additional points for helpful free letters when you need it. ♥️
I’m truly grateful for such wonderful brain exercise games and being in my 70th year, I realize the absolute necessity for maintaining an extremely active mind. Because of these marvelous games, I’m managing to stay afloat! Thank You So Very Much!!!!!!!!! p.s. I deliberately collect points simply as a side game of my own. In all honesty, I DO NOT USE ANY OF THESE POINTS FOR HINTS!!!!!!!!! Usage of any hints completely nullifies the purpose of this game…
I love this game! It is so relaxing. Just challenging enough but still doable. When I’m playing a word game, I need the satisfaction of completing it without too much frustration. The graphics are gorgeous and many of the ads between levels are very short. I play this every morning while drinking my coffee and it’s a great start to my day.
Love this game so far! Just started playing last night and didn’t want to quit. When I started playing today I realized I can’t see my list of other players and scores. I’m very competitive and would like to see how I rank with others playing the game. What do I need to do to see the list again?
Comments I really like this game but it doesn’t keep track of how many days I have stayed using the app. Every time I open it it says “Day Two”. I’ve been using this app for at least a month maybe longer. What is wrong with it. It started out tracking every day now it acts like I am a new user. I would rate it higher if this feature worked. Who knows what else is wrong with it?
