Dave's Word Game

I'm still unsure if Dave is a real person but his Word Game is very good

I don't typically play many word games, but I played this during the Next Fest and it was diverting enough. I'm kind of terrible at it? But it's fun and worth a couple bucks. I didn't realize this was already a thing on mobile (iOS and Android); I suspect it works pretty well on a touch device. I do wish I could control it with a keyboard here, though I understand why you can't (what do you do when there are two "k"s on the board?). It took me too long to figure out that the right play is to remove [i]just[/i] enough to set up one big move that removes multiple lines and blocks at once. But again, I still suck. Finally, at least last time I tried the non-daily puzzles, they always crashed the demo when I opened them. It doesn't happen with the full game, though; everything works fine there.

A really lovely daily puzzle game - well built, and the daily puzzle is a nice habit. The I've sunk more time into the endless & puzzle modes than I'd care to admit on mobile, and it's lovely to see it on desktop
