Touch Arcade:

Word Laces is not a typical game, and in this case that’s not exactly a good thing. This word-puzzle game can range from fun to downright bothersome as you try to mix and match a variety of different letters or combinations of letters to spell specific words based on the picture you see on your screen.

Word Laces does good things. The difficulty is perfect, the images are all high quality, there are no bugs that I’ve seen, and it does entertain at first. Unfortunately, the grind in the game is unreal and the lack of variety makes it less fun the more you play it. The game has its strong points and would be great for helping children learn spelling and vocabulary, but for the general public it’s just not good enough.

Not every game on Apple Arcade is a gem.
