Wordscapes is a puzzle game that tests if we can spell several different words using the letters provided. Players flip through the letters in one continuous motion and once they are guessed correctly, the letters will fill in the blank spaces of the provided word puzzle. If they connect a word that does not exist or does not match the riddle, they will not be penalized.
If they form a valid word that does not match the puzzle, it is a bonus word. Bonus words earn players Wordscapes Coins, which can help them purchase additional power-ups.
