If you’ve been addicted to the “Words with Friends” franchise since it first emerged onto our mobile screens back in 2009, you’ll be happy to hear that Zynga has released yet another game of a similar style. In this new addition to the family, however, players see themselves setting off on an adventure across the seas, as they solve level based word puzzles in Words on Tour. This addictive new game seems like a clash of the classic Words with Friends and its more recent counterpart Scramble with Friends.
Unlike the previous aforementioned apps released by Zynga, players are challenging themselves throughout the levels, rather than battling it out with friends. Instead of trying to one-up your friends word score, you’ll be racing to “find the phrase” before you run out of moves, or collect enough tiles before the level is complete.
“Over the past five years, Words with Friends has engaged hundreds of millions of players around the world by creating an organic, online word culture fueled by player passion for word-play. As the first adjacent game for the Words With Friends franchise that features puzzles and progression gameplay, Words On Tour taps into our players’ love for smart competition while delivering the gameplay and features they’ve been asking for,” said Jonathan Knight, vice president of Games at Zynga.
During more recent years we’ve seen some great tweaking happening from the developers with their already existing games, perfecting just about every aspect of the original Words with Friends, now leaving it virtually flawless. It’s great to see that Zynga have really stepped things up a notch with this latest creation, available on both iOS and Android, as they offer players beautifully crafted level maps and seamless gameplay. If you’re a fan of puzzle games, challenging your mind or just want to add a bit of fun to your life, I’d definitely recommend checking out Words on Tour in the app stores.
