ZType (Photoboslab)

Wordament (Microsoft studios)

This game combines hyper-casual gameplay with a word-search mechanic. Players compete against each other in real-time to find words on a grid. Though it doesn’t involve combat, the fast-paced word-finding challenge can feel intense, and it's highly addictive with its competitive leaderboard system.

1st Level - 3:28 seconds (on a crossword like game where I have to find multiple words in a jumble) 16 words to get the number of points to complete level.

2nd Level - 53 seconds to get 10 words that unlocked level. Certain words offer better points than others.

3rd Level - 2:05 seconds. 18 words.

4th Level - 6 minutes. Frustrating because certain words weren't counting ("SINNER") but the game wanted me to make a word like "INN" to progress to the next level.

Inferences - Varying lengths for different rounds could keep things fresh but maybe it would be better to increase and descrease lengths every few rounds (Every, round that ends with 5 or 0 could be slightly longer and harder than the rounds before or after to keep things exciting).

Wordscapes (PeopleFun)

Wordscapes is a word puzzle game combining crosswords with word searches. Though it’s more relaxing than intense, it’s highly engaging and perfect for hyper-casual play. It challenges players to find as many words as possible from a limited set of letters, making it popular for its simplicity and quick reward cycle.

Observations from playing it -

Levels 1 to 4 has just 1 set of 3 letters (Gives a faster sense of progression while learning)

Levels 5 to 8 are in a different environment (to compliment the fact that letters are now increased to 4 from 3). Similarly scenery changes for levels 9 to 12.

First advertisement popped up after Level 11 (I was invested by then).

Levels 13 to 20 have 5 letters per round and are in a different scenery.

Time taken for eeach round from 13 to 20 -

13 - 57 seconds.

14 - 59 seconds

15 (hard level) - 1:48 seconds with 2 hints

16 - 1:35 with 1 hint

17 - 1:20 with 1 hint

18 - 1:42 with 2 hints

19 (hard level) - 1: 30

20 - 1:58 with 1 hint

21 - 2 minutes (got frustrated at this point because the words in the crossword were multiples of the same word. For example - "CUB" and CUBS")

22 - 1:30 seconds

23 - 3:30 seconds, ran out of hints, got bored and zoned out.

Inferences - Less than one minute of playtime for tutorial/warm up rounds and 1 to 2 minutes for normal rounds should be good. 3 minutes plus may become annoying if game mechanics aren't engaging enough or it is too challenging.

Typing Game (Mini Games King)

Players play as a shark and must type the words on the fish in front of them to eat them.

1st Level - 10 words (Finished in 16 seconds)

2nd level - 12 words (Finished in 23 seconds)

3rd level - 14 words (22 seconds)

4th level - 16 words (29 seconds)

5th level - 18 words (34 seconds)

6th level - 20 words (33 seconds)

I use one hand to type so I was potentially slower than others could be. When a word is typed incorrectly the last correct letter is highlighted in red to help players understand from which letter they should continue typing rather than attempting to type the word from scratch.
