Text Twist Online

Text Twist is a cool, simple but mind testing game. The goal of this game is to simply guest many words as you can untimed or with time. This game will make you a Word Master, because as you play the game, the computer will randomly give you one single word that is twisted. As a text twist master, you are the one assigned to solve the jumbled letters to form one single word and advanced to the next round. Personally, knowing many words is a big help in the modern world today, especially English words our national language. Here is our country, that's a big plus since Philippines is one of the leading country for speaking English, well except me for that because I'm not that good in english, LOL! 

Here is the game's main panel.


This game includes the Untimed, Timed,  Word of the Day, Lightning and Crossword. Other menus are the settings, how to play, high scores, trophies and quit. The settings is basically the settings of the game thus, the sound and the resolution. How to play is the directions and instruction for playing the game. High scores are the lists of players from the highest scorer to least for the five different Text Twist games. The quit is simply use to exit or terminate the game.

The Five Text Twist Games

The Crossword Game
This game is untimed game, the main purpose of the game is to guest all the words that will fit into the crossword puzzle. Any words may do as long the words came from the twisted letters given by the computer. To begin you have to answer first the longest word because this the key to answer all other words for the puzzle. 


The Lightning Game
This game is my another favorite Text Twist game because of the time pressure, having the timer will make the game not boring. This game is just like the other games, the only difference is that, here you only have 5 key words to answer for 1 minute and 20 seconds to advance and play another round. But, don't worry since that 1:20 time is not fix, your time increases as long as you guessed a word. First, the computer will give the first twisted letters, then after getting all the four words the computer will give the fifth word. You can switch to the other words if you can't answer the current word and go back to that word later. Once you don't get all the key words in time, the game is over.


The Timed Game
This is the most exciting Text Twist game for me because you have the also the time pressure on your mind while answering the hidden words. You have only 2 minutes to play this game. The main goal is to answer first the key word which is the longest word. The longest word is the combination of all the twisted letter given by computer. If you can answer the key word, you have two options; first is you either just continue playing and guessing all the other left words until the time expires to have more score, or move on to the next round and play another hidden words. This game continues as long as you can answer the key word in time. You also have 2 passes if you can't answer the key word, after you used those your option is just to give up and play another game from the beginning


The Untimed Game
The rule of the game is just the same as the timed game. The only difference is that here, you don't have to worry for your time. You can advanced to the next round as long as you can answer the key word. You also have 2 passes here, consuming all of those will lead you to give the game or just continue thinking to guess the key word in order to advance to the next level.


The Word of the Day Game
This game is just like the timed game but you can only play the game once a day. 

Next are the Trophies


All in all there are 24 trophies available to claim in the game. These trophies will automatically enable when you complete a certain achievement.

Text Twist is a game that is educational, unlike other online game, this game is definitely for free. Some school uses this application for teaching purposes. Here in our country text twist is implemented to educate students. Personally, when you play this game, you are not only enjoying it you are also in a learning process, so called unspoken learning process. There are many versions of this game online or offline. There are also portable versions wherein you can even play this game in a cellphones/mobile phones. I hope developers of this game will come to the concept of the game like Tetris Battle, wherein a PvP game is possible. Hmmmm... maybe someday!
