WordConnect - Word Puzzle Game (beta)

WordConnect is a puzzle word game similar to the classic game tetris. Some have called it a hybrid between tetris and scrabble. You have to place the falling letters to form a word horizontally or vertically. Whenever you complete a word, the meaning of the word is fetched from dict.org through Aonaware. You finish a level when you manage to find all the words found in the list of each level. Enjoy and leave some feedback at the end of this page before leaving ;)

Latest Updates:
Sat, March 29th, 2008: I've made it a bit more challenging by increasing the speed at which blocks fall whenever a word is completed. It gets exciting :D

Coming soon:
- Viewing of all high scores of all levels on a separate page
- Even More levels
- Multiplayer? (if you want it comment in the feedback below)

How did you find the game?

Summary of Comments

We had several comments on the game, generally positive :). We will address an issue some players have pointed out... to quickly restart the level after messing up.

Others have pointed out that this game is educational and good for children to learn some vocabulary.

We will make the easy level a little bit slower. Some people got a bit frustrated :)

Some have complained they couldn't create a word they had in mind, i.e. wasn't in the list. The letter they wanted to finish up the word never came up. That is because the game only gives out letters that are in the remaining words in the list. This is by design, because otherwise the game would be too difficult in order to complete the word. Word of advice...concentrate on the list :).

I've added a new level. Capital Cities. I admit this is a tough level. Let's see how many will be able to solve this. :D Tip: Brussels and Helsinki can only be solved vertically!

I'm impressed by some players' timing to complete levels. I didn't manage to beat them myself! haha. Anyways, I've started working on new levels. From the feedback results found below, a lot of users are asking for more levels :). Also I will make it a bit more challenging by making it go faster as the player gets better. Hopefully I will release the new levels this coming week. I have also added some social bookmarking links below to make it easier to bookmark it with your favorite social bookmarking site. Thank you for all the feedback and thanks for playing.

Solved an issue associated with resetting the game and the keyboard controller.

You can now select between the available levels. We also introduced the time played so far and the par (average) time to complete the level. Slowed down a bit the falling down of blocks. We had to upload to a faster server because our current connection wasn't catching up with the demand :). Fixed a bug where the background was not changing when you found a word in the list!!

Added a reset game button and slightly fixed the help text.
