Why we picked this?

We like Word Mess because it’s accessible to gamers of all ages. At the beginning of each round you’re presented with a word or type of word that must be discovered among the mess. You have a limited amount of time to track it down and tap on it. You’re able to play all on your own or compete with your friends in head-to-head battles. You’re also able to compare your skills via Game Center.

You like seek and find games. You don’t even have to care a bit about words to enjoy hunting them down. It’s a fun challenge no matter what word your searching for.

You hate the pressure of timers in your seek and find games. It’s you against the clock all of the time, every time.
