Really worth the price, I play this while watching something. The easy and medium packs are pretty easy to complete, but the hard pack is so hard and you'll spend a long time with it.

Fun to kill a few minutes here and there, but ultimately I can't recommend this game. The puzzles have been computer-generated using a lexicon of words that might be permitted in hardcore Scrabble tournaments, but would certainly not be common knowledge. Just playing today I've had to solve puzzles using "SL", "ACYL", and "HOD".

It's an oversight that reflects a lack of polish and playtesting by the designers. The game is 49 cents. Buy it and beware that once in a few puzzles you'll have to jam letters into the remaining squares until you hit upon an obscure acronym. How hard would it have been for the devs to review the final wordlists one time? Sl acyl hod, very.

Like sudoku, minus the charm and reliability - only frustration remains.

The game is missing the "undo last move(s)" function for when you need to delve into highly hypothetical forward guessing, which happens a lot. And yes, once you finish a level you can never replay it - although I'm not one to do that sort of thing anway. Due to its high difficulty (even in the "Easy" packs) and presence of some very uncommon words I wouldn't recommend it as a learning tool for students of English.

Luckily, there are great guides available to be done with it in a reasonable amount of time. Recommended only to achievement hunters and people who really, really like this particular niche.

Started on easy to see what I was getting into. Looked at the first puzzle, went "Okay, they're just insulting me here", switched up to medium.

Looked at the first puzzle, switched back to easy.

If you stick to easy the game has a pretty smooth difficulty curve from that insultingly simple first puzzle to guide you into the game. But don't think all the words are going to be simple just because you're in the easy puzzles; mostly they've been common ones so far, but it wasn't too far before I slammed into a word that I had to use an online scrabble cheat dictionary for (what the heck's an ibex?).

I've only cleared out the first board and am a bit into the second, but from those I'm willing to give it my recommendation. If you like word puzzles it'll keep you entertained when you have some time to kill.

Pretty great puzzle game. Really intense at times. Lost my progress and that has deterred me from playing it more but still just an astounding game. You'll like this if you like a challenge and have a decently large vocabulary.

The concept of the game is a really interesting one - sudoku crossed with crosswords - however, the execution is extremely lacking.

The Easy levels are timid, very quickly solved leaving one pondering if that is all the game has to offer.

The Medium levels are more of a challenge, starting off as a gentle tease working up to a really difficult challenge which can only be solved by understanding how words in English are formed and having a varied and wide range of vocabualry.

The Hard levels are extremely difficult, and although I welcome the challenge, the effort involved is extremely taxing on the brain and leaves one crying out for a break after about 5 minutes. The change in pace from Easy to Hard can cause whiplash.

To add to the frustration, there is absolutely no replayability in this game. Once a level is complete, you're done. You can't reset the puzzle and solve it again and you can't go back to it to get a better completion time. One go at it and that's all folks.

Additionally there is no explanation for any of the words later on. Granted this game is not a dictionary, but what happens if you come across a word you don't recognise before whilst completing the puzzle? e.g. As a Chemist, I understand the word "Acyl", which comes up in one of the later Hard courses; but not everyone would a) recognise this word immediately (as it has no vowels); and b) even if they guess this word, may not have a clue what it means.*

A decent game for lexiphiles, but definitely not a game for the general public.

*Acyl is a type of functional group in Organic Chemistry, which is characterised by a mandatory alkyl group attached to a carboxyl group, in the form R1-CO-R2.

I got this on sale, for like 20p, and i expected it to be a pile of trash.

OOOOOOOOOOOH WAS I WRONG!!!

This game is so absorbing; not a game you would dedicate your life to, but a fun, educational word game. "Lexica has been featured in a number of UK daily newspapers" yup, and even at £1.99, it is still cheaper than a fortnight of most newspapers. 10/10 for value.

Lexica is essentially a cross between typical crossword puzzles and scrabble. A really simple concept, but it is very well executed and can prove to be quite challenging.

There isn't much to say about Lexica that I haven't already, there are some small flaws with the game such as it being unresponsive from time to time, but other than that and the fact that you can't replay the same puzzles or see the solution properly once completed, I'm happy to recommend it to puzzle fans.

Lexica goes for very cheap in sales and is always featured in bundle packages, so if you have some loose change, give it a go. This is a good example of one of those games that you can open up when you "have nothing else to play", it kills a lot of time.

I LOVE this game!!
At first, it was overwhelming, seeing a scramble of letters. But it was like Magic when everything suddenly would fall into place. You need words and some logic skills. Unfortunately, twice I logged over an hour stuck on a puzzle which made me fall from COMPETENT to NOVICE, where I stayed even though my average puzzle time was 1.5 minutes to 10 minutes, and that was while at work....shhh.
I want to be able to play it again, but I see I cannot buy it again. Hopefully, there is some advice on this in the forums.

Pretty decent game. It a fun way to pass the time if you are kinda loaded on cash, or if you find it on sale, Its definitely worth the cents. Its pretty unique in concept, and it's pretty small and light so you can always use it as an alt+tab filler.

Mid-Sized Sedan
Mid-Sized Sedan

A casual, enjoyable word puzzle game. Provides a great challenge across its nearly 300 levels.

You are given the option between difficulties easy, medium, hard, each with increasingly difficult words respectively.

TL;DR, An enjoyable and lengthy puzzle game.

Bice little game
I'm glad I bought it

2 things;
Would be less tedious if it could automtically fill in the letters that can only go in one spot. Or move there when you click them.
Upon completion of the puzzle, the solved puzzle is immediately blocked by the menu and that feels disappointing. I often hadn't yet realized what the words were - I figured out where the pieces went, finally. But hadn't yet tried to figure out what they all said.

Ignore any attempt to suggest this is some sort of Sudoku thing with letters - it's just a 'fill in the crossword without knowing the clues" game and it's fine as far as that goes.

If you like the idea - you'll like the game, basically.

If it has a problem, it's that a lot of the solutions require guesswork - there's only so much you can do with logic before you have to try something - and there's no 'Undo' (just a total reset) which can make that slightly frustrating.

Another gripe is you can't 'swap' letters - that's just laziness on the part of the developer (you have to drag a letter off, move the other, move the first back instead)

As I said - if you like the idea of "make the letters fit the crosswords" you'll like it, just bring a large vocabulary!

While it's one of the best word games on Steam, many users, including myself, experienced a bug that completely wipes your save. So, if you care about progression, this is unacceptable.

Qix

A simple word search game without any clues. You have to assemble words from letters on four sides of a cross-word-like grid. On the medium and hard packs there's frequently no obvious place to start, and some of the words are a bit more obscure. Guessing a long word often unlocks the rest of the puzzle and choosing where to start is an important part of the strategy you need to complete a level without too much effort.

Lexica serves as a fun, challenging, but casual puzzle game. It acts as a practice for scrabble (or crossword puzzles) without any scoring (except the time taken). There is only one correct solution and finding it is done by rearranging letter tiles that either move horizontally or vertically.

When you have an almost correct placement of the letters it sometimes proves frustrating to overcome that mental hurdle and find different words.

My time spent in game is a smidge inflated - I occasionally left the game unattended (even overnight).

Pros
+ Fun, challenging word puzzle game
+ Simple mechanics make it easy to learn
+ Cheap when on sale (less than $1 I think)

Cons
- There doesn't seem to be an easy way to review completed puzzles. Often there is one last word that can be weird that is found by trial-and-error. It would be nice if the game gave you a chance to learn some of these words.
- A hover over definitions of some of the exotic words would be nice.

A great deal when on sale. There should be more SIMPLE and cheap puzzle games on Steam.

26/10

I love words, but am often frustrated by word puzzles as they are generally dependant on what is assumed to be common knowledge. With something like a crossword, if you do not know the word you cannot solve the puzzle. Lexica is a bit different because it presents you with all the letters you need to solve for the words. All the information is there; you just need to put it in the right place. Some of the mid-game puzzles I found to be much more difficult to solve than the late-game puzzles. Despite this odd difficuly curve, this is easily the most enjoyable word puzzle I've encountered.
Edit: I started to play this game with others and would sometimes return to my laptop to find several new puzzles completed.

Hard. So hard. Satisfy your lexical hunger through the consumption of more easily digested material, such as a ten pound thesaurus or the Encyclopædia Britannica. Play this game and risk frying your synapses. I did, and now I talk funny. Let my pain be your gain.

"Lexica" is a Word game. The game was developed by d3t and published by Merge Games.

The Game Review

Game Visuals

I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu.

Game Audio

I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu as well.

Gameplay

There are three different difficulty game modes to choose from: Easy; Medium and Hard.

The game plays like a crossword mixed with sudoku and scrabble. The objective of this game is to figure out the correct placement and spelling of words for each of the puzzles. There is a timer in the game, it only keeps track of how long it took to solve the puzzle.

There is an in-game tutorial showing how to solve the puzzle.

The game contains eight packs with twelve different puzzles for each of the difficulty game modes. In total there are two hundred eighty-eight puzzles.

There are thirteen different achievements that can be unlocked from playing the game. Each of these achievements does come with some requirements that need to be completed before they can be unlocked.

Miscellaneous

Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.

Lexica is a real brainteaser. With the different settings for difficulty, it quickly becomes quite a chore to find the solutions.

I admit, I used a guide. Just to shortcut things. But I still would claim it is worth the 3 dollars.

I played it for 10 minutes and didn't enjoy it very much, so I turned it off to try it later. Steam kept saying it was still running. I couldn't find any processes related to it running in my task bar, and eventually had to turn off my computer to get the thing to stop. So of the 173.7 hours it claims I've played, I've only played it for 10 minutes. I'm deleting it and wont be running it again.

I am recommending this game... but only barely.

I like word games. I especially like unorthodox word games. Lexica is a great idea for a word game. It creates some very interesting puzzles.

However, there is one caveat. I'm of the opinion that the puzzle should be "how do I slide these letters to make criss-crossing words", not "how good am I at remembering obscure words that I'd only ever use in Scrabble". For example, the first puzzle in the "Hard" category used the word "AWN". Are you familiar with this word? I sure wasn't. I had to look it up. It's a slender bristle that is a part of certain grasses. Yeah, so obvious, right?

If you're okay being frustrated with the occasional obscure word to enjoy the clever puzzle, then this game is for you. If you needed a dictionary to look up "caveat", you'll probably be pulling your hair out with this one.

A lot tougher than it looks. I'm assuming most players that made any sort of significant progress in this game had cheated, one way or another.

I'll still keep trying it, though, because part of me wants to believe that I'm the reason I can't figure this game out.

I've enjoyed this game a lot. It's like a cross between word search and cross word. My only complaint would be that I've come across more than a few words that many have never heard of. I assume they're put in the puzzles in order to trip you up, but these words themselves and their spelling are so obscure, it sometimes seems silly to put the letter combinations toghter because it goes against everything that I have been taught about the english language.
All in all still a great game. Needs new puzzles or a replay option.

Puppy Czar

Crosswords? Yeah, I like that.
Sudoku? That's nice, I can spend hours doing some.
Scrabble? Damn yeah, that's one of my favorite tabletop game!

This? ... Huh... Where to start.

It's like Crosswords, without hints.
It's like Sudoku, without numbers and hints.
It's like Scrabble, without someone to play with.

It's like the three of them; without fun.

There's a really big difficulty spike right in the first set of levels. I'm trying really hard to like this game, I just can't.
It's a whole "see every combinations possible and hope it fits the board with every other letters, then try again".

That's no way fun, unless you like to guess words for hours.

I liked this game. I like word games in general, and this one was different enough to catch my interest and I could play at my own pace when I had a few minutes here and there, no rush or anything like that. The easy levels are fairly easy but not too easy, and the hard levels are sure to challenge even the most seasoned verbalist. My only complaint is that once you finish the game that's it. no option to replay it at a later time or anything like that. But for $3 it is definitely still worth it. I give it an overall score of 7 out of 10. Not perfect but definitely worthwhile.

This game is a very good tool to learn some new words, at least for me as a non-native English speaker. And I reckon for those who are, too.
The only thing it lacks from my point of view is a mobile app, even if it wouldn't be free.

Lexica is a good diversion. With its three levels of complexity it offers a good number of challenges to everybody, and it's actually a good way to play with the English language for non-native speakers! The Steam achievements can offer you the additional bit of motivation should you get bored of the puzzles (at the end, it's the same type of game over and over again). Recommended!

While the interface for the game can indeed be confusing the first time you're playing, I admit that once you get used to it, Lexica is actually incredibly fun, especially if you're into both word games and brain teasers at once. It takes a while to get used to how the letters can move.
But I will admit that the easy puzzles aren't EASY.
Challenging to say the least!

An excellent game, at first, but then you start getting hit with obscure British words and it gets quite difficult. It's based on an English newspaper puzzle and they throw in Brit slang, Scotish and Irish words. The real killer is when you solve too many puzzles, your saved game vanishes. I had made it to the hard level and my saved game disappeared. I found a number of players online who stated their saved game was deleted when they got into the hardest level, too.
Of course, there are the other problems, you can't read the completed puzzle when you finish it, you can't go back and look at old puzzles and you can't skip puzzles. If you're looking for a hard, unsatifiying game, buy Lexica.

HereIsPlenty

This game is possibly driving me mad or maybe just improving my vocabulary and stretching my mental fitness. I know, I know, it is just slotting letters into a grid but you find yourself immersed in permutations till you find some that fit together. My advice is dont worry about the time it takes to do a grid just bask in the glow when you finally get it. Then you realise you are still on easy....

Santa Was Here

I love word games, but Lexica is mediocre at best.

Firstly, the UI is clunky. You cannot play full screen, and using a mouse is incredibly frustrating, as the game was clearly designed for a touch screen on a mobile phone.

Even compared to mobile word games, Lexica feels super bland. There's nothing witty or ingenious about the game, no mechanic that makes it special. You simply slide letters to try to make words. Puzzles don't even have a word theme, which should be a *minimum*!

This game is simply a dull grind fest that plays bad on PC.

I have to say I hate Sudoku and those new paper cross word puzzles, but I love word searches, scrabble, words with friends, solving enigmas, etc... When I came across this game during the Steam 2017 Summer sale for 99 cents, I figured what the heck I'll give it a try and honestly I can say this is a really good puzzle game.

The game has a tutorial which can help you get started, it features different puzzle levels starting from Easy and going all the way up to Hard, each level contains a number of puzzle packs with a number of challenges within them.

The game tracks your progress on each puzzle you work on, you can also earn Steam achievements as you complete certain tasks or goals as you play. Overall this game is challenging and fun, plus you really feel like you are smart when you solve a tricky puzzle. If you like puzzles and thinking games, this game is for you, give it a try.

Lexica was fun for me up until Medium Pack 5, where my understanding of the English language slowed me down, though it is not my native language. I tried to fend off guides for as long as possible, checking a solution for a single word here and there, but also checking words in an online dictionary, up until I couldn't progress without a guide and without feeling frustrated. It became a chore due to my own limitations, not by a fault of the game, cos it's the same game from the first to the last puzzle, 288 in total. How hard the Hard Pack puzzles were I can't say, cos I was rushing to the end with guides at that point, just to be done with it.

I would've liked to see a more educational aspect to Lexica. For example, all the words in an alphabetical order at the end of the game or at the end of each puzzle, where I can go over the words that I didn't know, even if the definitions aren't provided by the game itself. As soon as you drop the last letter in its rightful place, the puzzle is locked and at that point you can't revisit a solved puzzle, it only gives you the completion time. At the very least I think they should've included a feature to revisit solved puzzles. There are Steam guides and video guides on Youtube (up to Medium Pack 7), but the point of any game is for you to play it, not continue it outside of the game. Hard to say if it's worth 5 euros, but it's good fun for the most part and it looks nice. It's also nice to have it in windowed mode, so you can place it right next to Youtube videos, while you watch 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, if that's your thing.

Nice touch on a word-puzzle. You get free spaces to slide 1 to 4 different letters on, combining them to words. I don't think, it is really original, but O have never seen this spin on word puzzles. It's a bit like a mixture of Picross, Sudoku and the numbered crosswords (the one without questions, but all letters have a value).
It is a nice game, but it would much better fit on moblie for a Dollar. It lacks every normal PC option like resolution and fullsrceen. It doesn't need it, but it is worth mentioning.

Great word-building game for a cheap price. Ignore all the complaints about "should be a free [mobile/flash] game" from entitled gamers - if you like wordplay and don't care about superficial crap, you'll probably like this game.

If you're looking for the tight logic of sudoku, you might be disappointed. Lexica often relies more on intuition than cracking a step-by-step code, sometimes requiring trial-and-error. For example, if the puzzle includes an uncommon letter like Z or J, you might start by trying a few different words with that letter, and then build from there.

288 puzzles means you can play all you want until you get bored. I'm 4 hours in right now and not bored yet.

This is not a bad game but it isn't one that I can recommend.

+ Lots of puzzles to solve.
+ This game is probably good for expanding your vocabulary.

- No clue system in place.
- Basically impossible for people without a large vocabulary or for people with English as a second language.
- Lots of guesswork.
- Intersecting identical letters so basically, even if you got the word right, there is a good chance that you stuffed up the letters for the intersecting word.

Eh, it's okay. Just a standard puzzler.

Thumbs down for several reasons. All the puzzles unfortunately are pre-defined and so there's no endless mode, so the game lacks replayability. You can't replay puzzles you've solved, either. The game only accepts fixed answers, so even if all your words are valid, if they don't match the answer the game has, you can't win.

There's an error in Easy Pack 2, puzzle 6, where the "correct" answer involves the non-existent two letter word "SL". They said they would fix it. They never did.

Hard mode is more really obscure words than it is actually more challenging. I was hoping the puzzle size would increase, but unfortunately it stays the same.

This is a game I'd really rather play on my phone than on my computer, but as it stands I only have it on Steam.

Easy-to-learn puzzle game that prods your otherwise sluggish-to-respond brain to speed up. Much like a daily crossword, to me it feels like it helps speed up my cognitive responses if I do a few of these each day.

Oh...and it's also super cheap when it's on sale.

I recently played a game, Wordland that reminded me of this one and then I saw that I never gave this one a review. Both Lexica and Wordland are variations on word jumbles, but Lexica is a bit harder. In it you have letters on the outside of the board that can be slid into place on the main board. You have to slide them so that all the blanks are filled with real dictionary words. It's fun if you like the sorts of games in newspapers. I like that it opens in a tiny window and is multitasking-friendly.

With the sole exception of having the game reset your progress entirely, at random, I'd say this is the best word game I've ever played. Get it.
