GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA

A strange little side quest

A small trivia drop for Word Scapes: Arthur Wynne published a diamond-shaped 'Word-Cross' in the New York World on December 21, 1913; the name later shifted to 'Cross-Word' and then 'crossword'. A second detail makes the picture even better: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Word Scapes feel a bit more connected to the history of play.

Word-Scapes is a free word game. Crosswords is a classic word game where players combine words and overlap each other in order to complete a puzzle. It is an age-old game that has finally been upgraded. In Word-Scapes, you'll be tasked with filling out a grid of crossing words. The trick here is that you'll also have a selection of letters at the bottom of the screen. In order to fill out the grid, you must first connect the letters to form words. The formed words will automatically appear in the grid as long as you correctly identify and link the letters. The added challenge of finding letters in a soup of chaos makes this game all the more fun.
