About Word Forward
Beautifully simple. Endlessly challenging.
Word Forward is the puzzle game where every choice matters.
Can you use all of the letters in the 5x5 grid to make words disappear and clear the board? Word Forward isn’t about spelling the longest words or the most clever - it’s about carefully using every tile to declare victory in 500 puzzles. It requires cunning and strategy -- Word Forward is a brain teaser that will really make you think!

- SPELL words by tracing a line between tiles in any direction, including diagonally
- SWAP any two letters on the grid by using a SWAP TOKEN, earned during gameplay
- JUMBLE the tiles on the grid to replace all the letters with new ones when all else fails
- CHANGE the letter on a tile to any other letter you choose using the SWAP MODIFIER
- ELIMINATE stubborn tiles with BOMBS to get yourself out of a tight spot
The #1 word puzzle game played more than 6 million times is now available on Steam!

Brain-pleasing, highly addictive puzzle game with an earworm of a theme tune. Would 100% recommend to all of the word lovers out there. One minor complaint: when I beat Level 500, the menu stopped working. I consider that a crash. Tried it again and got the same result. Not much of a congratulatory message! :-)3 found this helpful
I am going to keep plugging away at this, but unless something significant changes I simply cannot give this a thumbs up. FYI, I got this on a really good sale, but it hasn't even been worth the half a buck I paid. Everything seems to work, I think, thought as a word puzzle it is bland and flavorless, as one would expect. This wouldn't be an issue if the game was interesting, or fun, but it isn't. Right from the very first puzzle, it is Brazil nut busting hard. I consider myself reasonably bright, and am university educated, well read with a hefty vocabulary, but there is no getting into this one. One would expect the addition of a short tutorial and a learning curve starting at the low end to allow a person to get into the flow, but aside from a quick rundown of the controls and a handful of options, nada. It is so bad it makes me wonder if this is the same game the other reviewers played! Thumbs down on this offering.2 found this helpful
Great game. I'm a big fan of the dev and this is just another lovely game by them. The UI and music are insanely pleasing and relaxing. It's more of a puzzle game than a word game, which is perfect. It requires quite a bit of strategy, which adds nice depth. I recommend it.2 found this helpful
It's like Wordle, in that they both have words and spelling. But without the green and yellow blocks that give me the dopamine hits. And I can't brag on twitter about how good I am when I actually took all 6 guesses on my burner to learn the word and then cheated on my main. It's not my fault the new york times made the game so much harder. They got me struggling out here, like come one, I just wanna solve the thing and feel good about myself. Why must I be reminded of how bad my vocabulary is when I'm faced with a word that uses the same letter twice. Anyways... 10/101 found this helpful
[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Puzzle games come in so many different make ups, but this one was impressive. Word Forward is a game about clearing the board by creating as many words as you can with what you’re given. Each round starts off with a predetermined grid of letters and 5 modifiers to use as you choose to. Your modifiers really open up the world of possibilities by a significant margin. You have 2 preset letters that you can choose to switch out with any letter of your choosing on the board. Additionally, you have the option to select any letter on the board and make it what you want. The fourth option available to you is to destroy any single block. Lastly, there is an option to re-roll every single letter on the board. All of these options really give this game its own personality and dynamic. Each puzzle is a challenge that tests your inner dictionary while at the same time a puzzle to clear the whole board with as little help as possible from your modifiers. Initially, clearing the board may seem simple, but it is more certainly not. The blocks do not move as you cl…1 found this helpful
[b]Word Forward[/b] is a more strategic version of the rather common F2P word puzzle games that you can typically find on Google Play or the App Store... you know, the sort of word games where you have to clear all the letters in every level by linking them up. The objective here isn't to make the longest word or to get the rarest ones, but to make sure you use all the tiles. The minimum number of tiles per word here is 3 so if you're left with 2 tiles at the end, you're screwed and will have to restart the level. For the most part, you'll probably be planning all your moves in advance before you even make the first move. Anyway, if you play as many word games as I do on the phone, you'll probably bump into one of these sooner or later! --------------------------------------------------------------- [h1]Watch me play![/h1] ...just the first 10 levels for now. More to come :) Just need to go back and get all the stars for the previous levels first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqarxZy90lA ---------------------------------------------------------------- Now, Word Forward stands out from the lot mainly because of the different kinds of "tools" you get to use, such as letter t…1 found this helpful
