Adlib for Windows 8, Windows 10: a New Take on Word Games

If you love word games and want to play them on your Windows 8, Windows 10 system, then you really need to consider the Adlib app, as well

Word games aficionados will be thrilled to learn about Adlib. This Windows 8, Windows 10 word-puzzle game comes as a combination of the classic word games and jewel-matching games, having both awesome looks and great gameplay. Unlike other Windows 8, Windows 10 word games, Adlib has managed to impress us with its simplicity and top notch quality.

Although it could use some improvements, we are glad to say that is the best such game we’ve had the pleasure to test in a while and even if it’s not a free game, we think it’s worth buying, especially thanks to its low price.

Adlib – The New Word-Puzzle Game

We’d really like to see more games like Adlib. Not from the gameplay/type point of view, but from the design perspective. We’ve seen so many games that bore you to death with menu after menu after video after another menu. This takes all the enthusiasm that you have when you start the game and blows it to smithereens.

However, the developers of Adlib thought of that and so, the player doesn’t have to endure this any more and they can instantly enter the game and start playing. But we’re moving away from the subject here. Point and fact: Adlib lets the player instantly play with no intermittent menus or other nonsense.

As we’ve mentioned before, Adlib is a word-puzzle game where the user has to find words and they get points for each find. However there’s a twist: the words have to be at least 4 characters long and they get extra points for each word that is longer than that. Also, the player has some nice features to make the game more interesting.

When finding words becomes more of a challenge, then the user can move around the letters, but only on each row (left-right), so they have to make due with what each row has. Moving letters between columns (up-down) is not allowed. This makes the player think of every move he makes, in order to get the best possible outcome.

Also, from time to time, on the board appear some special letters, colored differently than the others. Some of them will explode, making room for other letter or combinations, some give extra points and some are blocked, so they cannot be moved.

The aim is to discover the hidden words and earn enough points to advance to the next level. However the board fills up one row at a time, and when it reaches the top, the game is over (think back to the old-school video games with the doctor that was throwing pills in a jar, or the well known Tetris).

Overall, Adlib for Windows 10, Windows 8 is a great game, and those who enjoy word games should definitely give it a try. It looks great, it works flawlessly and it’s fast and responsive. All the qualities that make a good game can be found in Adlib.
