Why we picked this?

Word Turds is intended to be lighthearted fun. In each puzzle you’re presented with a collection of letters, and you must create valid words from them in order to fill the toilet paper squares at the top. If you come up with a valid word that isn’t part of the puzzle, it’s added to your “Stool Sample” collection. Fill the collection to earn bonus coins, which can be used to purchase hints. The game includes eight level packs in all.

You’re able to take a joke. Even with its unique theme, it’s a very capable word game.

You don’t find the theme amusing.
