FoLaWo™ Icelish - a English/Icelandic word puzzle.
FoLaWo™ - takes the classic wooden sliding tile puzzle and combines it with a brain challenging word game. Yes you have seen tile puzzles that use numbers or pictures before and there are many types of word games out there. But have you seen them combined into a challenging word logic puzzle before? I came up with this concept while watching how ESL students learn to spell words - writing the word over and over, and thought how can i make this fun/different & a challenge! - the end result is the FoLaWo™ Language series introduced to the world Feb 2013.
In FoLaWo™ Icelish - we use the Icelandic and English languages to solve the puzzle.
You are given clues to help solve the puzzle - but it isnt easy - the clues will be in either English or Icelandic but you must think of words which are the direct translation or have a similar meaning in the opposite language. So that means - clues ICE & answers ENG or the reverse.
If you know both Icelandic & English then its an interesting way to practice your translation skills. BUT if you dont, then FoLaWo™ becomes a really challenging word puzzle that will have you scratching your brain as you try the various tile combinations to solve the words.
▪Choose a 3 by 3 or 4 by 4 puzzle
▪Swap between Clues/Answers style - ICE/ENG or ENG/ICE
▪NO IAPs - hints are always FREE ( no coins etc..) & available if you wish to use them. But they do form part of your score.
▪3 game modes - EASY, MEDI, & HARD. - Ability to switch to EASY during play, if you get stumped.
▪Wooden tile graphics - an ode to the classic sliding tile puzzle.
▪Normal mode - random selection of words = thousands of unique starting puzzle combinations
▪Study mode - still random word selection, but from a small group of words = more repetition of words.
It wont happen overnight, but it will happen - FoLaWo™ is a challenging word puzzle but is also a language learning/spelling accessory. If your actively learning English/Icelandic - it can help you practice when not in class. If your not actively learning - its a quick and easy way to practice your memory recall of Icelandic/English words and maybe learn some new words.
FoLaWo™ is much like you using an online computer translator to find a Icelandic or English word - except you dont have to be connected to play FoLaWo™ and its a game, hopefully a fun game - but definitely a challenging game!

Enjoy!
