if you back out of the puzzle - you will get new words

If you're not good at unscrambling words, you can always search for a word unscrambler on the internet.

Spoiler












I find a lot of the words have ness at the end and the opposite may not be what we normally would automatically think of. For instance I found Softness and automatically thought of hardness, but the correct word was Firmness

I think the people who developed this game either or from the UK or Asians taught in English schools. I caught them spelling bungalow, bungalo or was it bungolo which is how some Asians spell it

I use to actually take my time trying to solve these word puzzles in the game. But after I figured out they were using different syntax then American English I decided life was too short to learn UK English and I started to just use the anagrammer to unscramble the words. I thankful they are not using words like Lorry and loo. lol

I have to say I enjoyed these puzzles, actually the variety of the word puzzles. The great thing about this game was the variety of the kinds of puzzles. Usually there are only one or two types used over and over.

Ok I can understand how people like the word puzzles. But frankly this is a hidden object game and I didn't sign on for a word game. But cool that is alright, but the syntax is off and that takes the fun out of it . I feel they should be bonus mini games but not games you have to figure out to beat the level. Not only that after you solve the puzzles you have to solve another one. I feel it takes away from a very good game.

OKay this game is whack! I made to words that were opposite and nothing happened! Something is screwy with this game. For instance I did forward and backward. But nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

Believe it or not that might not be the correct answer. I think I mentioned how this game had to be made by someone who English is not their first language. So it could be Forward and the antonym would not be the obvious like backward but something else like
backswept, sweptback, converse, reversed, , reverse, rearward, reverse, receding, reflexive.

I have to agree about these puzzles, most of them I haven't got a clue how to work them. They actually really annoy me, bonus ones are not so bad, but I'm too impatient for these tricky ones. I like to play games for relaxation, my poor brain can't cope with this LOL. Please, easy on the puzzles for the next chapter of the game.

I understand that some people don't like these word puzzles in a hidden object game, but I personally love them. I don't think they are hard at all, I am pretty good at word games. I agree that they should be a bonus for people who don't want to do them, but please don't take them out all together. Hidden object games are my favorite, but I enjoy the challenge and the option of a little added bonus game in between all that object hunting. But I agree that it should be optional for people who just want to hunt objects without a break in between. This way everyone is happy.

If you have a 'thesaurus' it comes in real handy when doing the "Opposite Attraction" puzzle. That's what I use when I get stuck.

I have the same problems with that part of the game. I am english, and the opposite of forward is reverse. BUT i don`t think that would fit into the clue. The word backword to us means dim, thick, idiotic, or basically not clever. I always thought I could not work them out was bacause of the differences in our language.
I just keep going back to main screen untill I find one I can do.

Darn...can't remember the opposite word to SHINING...but figured I'd start taking notes and list some of the solutions. All I have to contribute is 1 right now, but I'll post more as I get them... =) ...I'm replaying through the game...loved it so much the 1st time...now it's note taking time!

PERSUADE & DISSUADE - fairly easy one...
