Always have a hint if you want – What's that Phrase? - Word & Saying Guessing Game Review

This game has different levels of difficulty, which is not a changeable option, that with each new puzzle changes. You can have a medium level, next a very very hard, then a very simple puzzle (or any variety of difficulty - five easy in a row). This really is all for the best though. You start off with a puzzle, blank boxes to put in your answer (you know how many and long each word is by the boxes and spacing), and below that, are a selection of the letters needed for the answer with just a few extra letters (the actual number varies with length of answer) to make it interesting. If you are unsure, you can type in an answer and guess, if wrong you don't get any points taken away. Also available to you is a button that takes away 3 wrong letters, but "costs" you coins (you win these with each correct answer); another button will place a correct letter in its spot, this also "costs" you coins. If you are still confused as to the correct answer you can select for the game to send you hints to your phone. If turned on (this is standard, which you are asked with a prompt, upon your first time playing, if you want it to be on or off), you are first sent a clue (after a day) with the FIRST LETTER of the answer; after another day you are sent a clue that contains the ENTIRE SOLUTION to the puzzle you stopped playing at. If you prefer, the hints can be changed (you can opt to get no notifications, have the notifications go directly to your phones pull down missed menu, or as a reminder that you have to respond to) in your iPhones settings. Alas, I think this game is very fun, since you can never really lose. If you don't have enough coins to get a clue or remove letters, all you have to do is wait for them to be sent to you. For me, having the random difficulty of puzzles helps me to come to a natural break in game play (example, when I come upon a puzzle that will take me too much time to figure out), so I can go back to my life off of the iPhone/iPad. It is almost like a built-in timer mode, which is good for this neurosurgeon to have.
