Dave recently discovered an app called Knot Words. This is a crossword puzzle game but not one of which I’ve ever seen the like before. In this one, they give you the letters and you have to decide how to arrange them to discover what the words are. But…
They don’t give you all the letters for one word. Instead, they give you a section of the puzzle and the letters that go in that section.
For instance, the letters might be o s n t and they fit within a 2×2 grid. Attached to that grid might be additional spaces going up, down or sideways making some of your letters part of additional words.
Let’s say two of the horizontal spaces are a stand alone word. Now you have to decide if that word is so, no, to, or on. You make your best guess then try to fill in nearby spaces to help confirm or deny your guess.
If you truly get stuck you can get a hint. The hint is for an entire word just like in a normal crossword puzzle. When you ask for a hint the game will show you arrows indicating which words you can choose from to get your hint. You are allowed a maximum of three hints per game so choose wisely when to use them.
Oh, and you only get one game per day.
Except, when we started there were several days in April available to play, which we did. But, at the beginning of May all the April games disappeared. So, if you start today, you can play the May games as long as you do so before the end of the month.
If you decide you don’t like the letter blocks of this game, in the options menu you can choose to play whole words instead.
So, go. Challenge yourself to this new game. I dare you.
