It's... Buzz Words #6, a game that tests your vocabulary — in a fun way! If you want to see every edition, check out the Buzz Words landing page.
Hope everyone's week has started out strong. I'm always buoyed by listening to my favorite radio show: The NTS Breakfast Show with Flo Dill. Recommended if you like: a good time. Happy to take more music recs in the comments too (radio show or otherwise).
How to play: Stack words to build a tower all the way to the top of the screen. Each round gives you a set of blank tiles to fill, with one catch: There's a "locked letter" in every line. It's the same letter for the whole game. You fill the blank tiles around it to spell a valid word.
Those are the basics, but here are some "good to know"s:
– You can only use the same word once in a game
– Including rarer letters will increase your score
– There are three levels, where the locked letter changes (and the difficulty ramps up!)
– There's no timer, so feel free to ponder fun and/or rare words
