The unique word puzzle which combines the skill of Sudoku with the knowledge of Scrabble®. Lexica has been featured in a number of UK daily newspapers but is now available for the first time in an interactive form.
The objective in this game is to arrange a set of letters into a crossword-style grid and form valid words. Players face a grid filled with empty spaces, surrounded by letters that they can slide horizontally or vertically to fill those spaces. To solve the puzzles, you must use your logic, vocabulary, and word-building skills. Each row and column typically contains multiple possible words, but only one complete set of words solves the entire puzzle. Identifying common word patterns, roots, and prefixes/suffixes is key to deducing the right combination.
The game offers three difficulty levels that scale the challenge. Easy puzzles feature more common, everyday words, while medium and hard levels incorporate obscure, specialized, or uncommon vocabulary. This range allows players of all English language skill levels to find an appropriate challenge.
Many reviewers report that the simple yet engaging gameplay loop becomes quite addictive. Solving a puzzle provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment, motivating you to tackle increasingly difficult brain-teasers and test your vocabulary further.
However, some players criticize the lack of replayability for solved puzzles. Once you complete a puzzle, you cannot revisit or replay it to improve your time or score. While some argue this is in keeping with the point-and-solve nature of word puzzles, others feel it reduces the game's long-term value.
Overall, this game seems to resonate most strongly with fans of word-based logic puzzles who enjoy challenging their linguistic and vocabulary skills. The unique fusion of Sudoku-style logic with Scrabble-esque wordplay creates an engaging experience for enthusiasts of both genres, with the scalable difficulty making it accessible to a wide range of puzzle solvers.
