The most frustrating part of this game is when you finish a pyramid and have to wait while the endless graphics effects circle everything.

As you level up, more obscure words are used. Rated 4 out of 5 by NaughtyPenguin from a year later and I still play this game You build words starting with long words at the bottom of the pyramid and work up. Even in the Adventure mode, later on when the words start to get harder, the kids can still have fun trying to guess what letter is needed.This is my go-to game when I'm in the mood for a word game. Unlike a lot of word games, this one will offer a continual challenge at the higher levels for people who have a good vocabulary or want to improve theirs.It's a good single-player game, and would also be good as a family or multi-player game, due to the ability to choose the difficulty level in the Classic mode. There's a Hall of Fame that records the highest scores so the game has a lot of re-playability. The Adventure mode story has enough of a hook to keep you interested. The bells & whistles add to the game instead of detracting from it, and it's not designed as one of those overly-cutesy games. There are bonuses you can earn in the Adventure mode (revealing all vowels, revealing a single letter of your choice, etc.), that act as helpful clues.It's a well-designed, smooth-playing game. If the level hits the bottom without you having solved all the words in the pyramid, you lose that round. There is a level that rises or lowers depending on incorrect letter choices and correct solving of words in both modes. The first quarter of the Adventure mode pulls words from 20% of the dictionary, the next quarter uses 40% of the dictionary, etc.There is a timer, but it's only there to let you know how long the game is taking in the Classic mode. Adventure mode has a story about an archaeological exploration that you progress through as you play the game. The lower the percentage the easier the words. Each experience mode uses a different percentage of the dictionary to pick the words from: 20%, 40%, 80% and 100%. Classic allows you to choose a pyramid from four experience modes. You start off with a nine letter word, and work your way up to a three letter word (seven words altogether).There are two modes, Adventure and Classic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bpup from My Favorite Word Game It's basically a dressed up version of Hangman, in which you have to figure out a series of words to fill up a pyramid.
