Bookworm Adventures Deluxe
Developer: PopCap Games
Publisher: PopCap Games
If you like puzzle games like Dylan Loney’s Words For Evil, you must also like Bookworm Adventures and the game’s sequel Bookworm Adventures 2.
In this game, the screen is split in two. The worm named Lex is at the top and grid of lettered tiles is at the bottom. You have to spell out words coming from those tiles. The most interesting part is that the attack is stronger if the word is longer.

Scribblenauts Unlimited
Developer: 5th Cell Media
Publisher: Warner Bros.
Scribblenauts Unlimited is a superb video game! Imagine being a little cartoon boy Max who can make magic by writing words. Yeah, that’s right. He has a little notebook that transforms every written word into a live thing. That is absolutely fabulous. It has only one small downside. It may be a bugger when you find a word which game doesn’t recognize. I mean, I call it a negative aspect, but in spite of this, Scribblenauts Unlimited is a big pleasure to play.

Simplicity, minimalism and just right amount of details are enough to make a good puzzle game. Your task is to move grid of tiles (in either columns or rows) in order to align three or more of the same icon. Of course, nothing comes easy, as you move that grid of tiles there are all kinds of creatures to make your task difficult.
