Frustratingly restricting, not for someone who really likes challenging word games – Word Circle: Search Word Games Review

The letters they give you can be used to make a variety of words, but you have to make the EXACT ones that they’ve thought of. For instance, they give you the letters B-H-U-R-S, I try SHRUB for the 5-letter word, it doesn’t work. BRUSH does. Similarly I try BUSH for one of the 4-letter words, doesn’t work. RUSH does. HUB and RUB work for the three letter words, but not SUB, only BUS instead. It’s completely random and you have to find out which exact words they want you to find instead of trying to find all the words you can. Sometimes I think it might be down to me trying less common of words, like MAR was not considered. But then in other rounds the fairly uncommon EWE was one of the answers, in another the niche word SKA, and in another the quite uncommon for an cask of alcohol TUN. The whole game becomes increasingly frustrating as time and time again you find perfectly good words that just aren’t accepted in the round and there’s no way to predict which. If the round calls for say three 4-letter words, it should accept any possibly 4-letter words from the set. That, or they should take the time (by quite easily running the letters through an internet word unscrambler, if they can’t be bothered to do much work) to find all the possibilities and make them available, at least as extras that are included after the main set if you happen to find them. If you really like word games, you won’t like this. If you like absent-mindedly stringing letters together and hoping something happens, play away.
