Knotwords is a little crossword puzzle-like game on iOS where instead of finding words using hints for lines and rows, you have to ‘untangle’ weirdly shaped ‘knots’ of words on a big grid, which ultimately leads to words appearing on lines and rows. For a free game with a premium unlock, I had a ton of fun, but only when I finally activated a feature that helped me know if my words were correct - the game was a bundle of knots before that! Aha.
I have to say that I didn’t get hooked enough to subscribe or purchase the game - but I still had a good time with the free offerings. Each little section of the grid has a specific number of letters that you have to place around and see if you can get words on lines and rows by combining a few of these little sections next to each other. With the default options, it was a bit of a mess because you needed to fill the complete grid with the right words in order to finish the puzzle. You could fill it with words, but if they weren’t the right words, the puzzle wouldn’t be done. Luckily there’s an option to get information if your words are good or not, so it became less bothersome to finish levels.
Overall I really enjoyed my time with Knotwords! I’m not a huge crossword puzzle guy, but it was a very neat distraction, especially for free. Check it out if you enjoy word games!
