Trust a word game developer to be a perfectionist when it comes to titles.
The Linguist: Word Craft, from player1games, has been rebranded to the more approachable and endearing name of Word Bop.
If you’re already a dedicated player of The Linguist: Word Craft, consider this a heads-up that one of your favorite apps is about to undergo a transformation.
Transitioning to Word Bop
Do not be alarmed. When you tap on the Word Bop icon—which will have automatically replaced The Linguist: Word Craft icon—you’ll find yourself right back in your happy place, with all your progress, purchases, and settings intact.
Introducing Word Bop
If you never got around to playing The Linguist: Word Craft, consider this your introduction to Word Bop.
Like Wordle, Quordle, and the many other “dle” games, Word Bop is a daily puzzler that presents you with a unique set of Daily Challenges every 24 hours. The difference is that you can play it all day if you like, rather than just once.
Gameplay Mechanics
Word Bop presents you with a grid of randomly jumbled letters, challenging you to find as many words as possible within a set time limit.
You can earn bonus points for finding certain words and use six different power-ups to assist you in your daily attempts. These power-ups include:
– Sweeping away an entire row or column of tiles
– Shuffling the board
– Undoing a move
– And more
Depth of Gameplay
If you’ve ever played Boggle, you’ll feel right at home. However, Word Bop offers a deeper gameplay experience, as the grid is three tiles deep. Clearing a tile exposes the tile underneath, requiring you to think on your feet as new word-making opportunities arise.
Enhanced Discoverability
Word Bop was always a fun and challenging word puzzler, and now it’s much easier for people to find and enjoy.
