Word Solitaire is an extremely fun, extremely challenging word puzzle game. Players are drawn a Solitaire setup; however, in place of typical cards, there are cards with one letter on each. The object of the game is to move the cards around the board to unveil all the hidden letters and make words out utilizing each letter. All letters much be used, so it's a lot trickier than it sounds! Letters can only be moved onto other letters that would help form a word (ie, you couldn't move "L" onto "Z", but "U" onto "T" is fine).
That all may sound hard, but there are a few helpful options. A lamp is featured at the bottom right corner of the screen. Here, you can opt to burn up to three letters that simply aren't working for you. You will get penalized for each, however. On the bottom left corner is a small deck of letters. These additional letters can be used at your discression, to help form words.
Gameplay is surprisingly challenging! There are multiple levels to allow for lots of playing time. The graphics are beautifully done, and I love that famous artwork makes up the backgrounds. High scores are tracked by fastest time, high score, and low move count, which is a great feature that allows players to aim for several goals. Twitter integration is great, but I would love to see some global high scores - one thing the game is missing. All in all, Word Solitaire is a fantastic game, put out by a fantastic developing company.
