Word Forward isn’t about spelling the longest words or the most clever. It’s about using chess-like strategy to clear every tile and declare victory in 500 puzzles. It requires cunning and strategy - Word Forward is a brain teaser that will really make you think!

I am going to keep plugging away at this, but unless something significant changes I simply cannot give this a heads up.
FYI, I got this on a really good sale, but it hasn't even been worth the half a buck I paid.
Everything seems to work, I think, thought as a word puzzle it is bland and flavorless, as one would expect.
This wouldn't be an issue if the game was interesting, or fun, but it isn't. Right from the very first puzzle, it is Brazil nut busting hard.
I consider myself reasonably bright, and am university educated, well read with a hefty vocabulary, but there is no getting into this one.
One would expect the addition of a short tutorial and a learning curve starting at the low end to allow a person to get into the flow, but aside from a quick rundown of the controls and a handful of options, nada.
It is so bad it makes me wonder if this is the same game the other reviewers played!
Thumbs down on this offering.

I really like this game! Totally my kind of puzzle game. Super simple, but challenging and satisfying.

You have to like word games and have good English vocabulary to get the most out of a game like Word Forward. The interface is simple and reasonably well done, but dragging diagonally between the squares on the board can sometimes take more than one attempt. If I could wish for one thing it would be Steam achievements, because without it, the game can become quite monotonous.

Brain-pleasing, highly addictive puzzle game with an earworm of a theme tune. Would 100% recommend to all of the word lovers out there. One minor complaint: when I beat Level 500, the menu stopped working. I consider that a crash. Tried it again and got the same result. Not much of a congratulatory message! :-)

Great game. I'm a big fan of the dev and this is just another lovely game by them. The UI and music are insanely pleasing and relaxing. It's more of a puzzle game than a word game, which is perfect. It requires quite a bit of strategy, which adds nice depth. I recommend it.
