Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Your friendly app pirate is here again, ready to take you on another journey around the seven seas! We’re off to a new destination and we can’t wait to reach it and explore as we heard a lot of exciting stories about it. Other buckos from other ships said that they tried finding the treasures, but were unsuccessful, although they were seasoned pirates too. We’re up for the challenge and we’re confident that we will be successful as our skills in booty hunting are top-notch! Har, har, har! Since it’s going to be extremely busy once we reach the place, let me share an app review now, so I won’t miss giving your regular dose. The game is called Figgerits – Word Puzzle Game by Hitapps. Listen up and let’s begin.
It has a clean user interface
The user interface is simple and clean. On top is the category and the main puzzle you need to solve. Below that are different questions that you need to answer to fill up the letters of the main puzzle. At the bottom are the note and light bulb icons, which serve as the options for notepad to temporarily write possible solutions and hints respectively. There are no images to serve as decorations or designs, but still look presentable because it looks organized. Moreover, since it’s a word puzzle game, you can focus more on the words and letters, which works for it.
It’s free and you can play offline
This is a free game to download, which is ideal for those who love playing word puzzle games without spending real money. Since it has an offline option, you can keep playing anytime, anywhere even without an internet connection. This makes the game accessible. However, with the recent update, it had more advertisements with several ads popping in one level, which can be frustrating as it takes away your focus from the game. As of this writing, removing the ads cost $4.99. So, unless you don’t mind spending that amount to remove advertisements, you need to be patient with the ads.
There are different categories and difficulty levels
You can unlock different categories ranging from proverbs to music, giving it variety. The difficulty levels also vary, with some being easier or more challenging than others. However, it seems that the difficulty levels are random. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the next puzzle is harder than the previous one.
It’s challenging and it no longer auto fills
As mentioned, there might be puzzles that may be easier for you to solve, but overall, it’s a challenging game that will make you think and also widen your knowledge as you get to discover new words and their meanings. Before the most recent update, it used to auto-fill letters that were answered correctly. It no longer does that, so you have to manually enter the letters, which is tedious. You also now have to restart the puzzle after three strikes, which adds to frustration.
The good
It’s free with simple and clean graphics. There are different categories to unlock that will challenge your brain. You will also learn new words from the game and you can keep playing even while offline.
The bad
There are a number of advertisements that interrupt while playing. It no longer auto-fills the letters you get correctly and you can only have three strikes or it will restart the puzzle.
The verdict
We recommend Figgerits – Word Puzzle Game to those who are into word puzzle games. It will make you think and sharpen your brain, while enriching your vocabulary. It’s free to download, and once installed, you can play offline. The clean interface lets you focus on the game and there are different categories to unlock, giving variety on the puzzles that you will play.
