From the simplicity of crosswords and Scrabble, to new challenges like Wordle, it seems the human mind is built to enjoy playing with language. But while most mobile games come from the app store, word games are a bit more of a mixed bag. Typically simple, many of the best ones just work in a browser - you can play them from pretty much any device. Which are the best? We\u2019ve listed five firm favourites in our best mobile word games guide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651674263\/freysteinn-g-jonsson-LI03w3L-PxU-unsplash_sqahtb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Wordle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>All platforms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/wordle\/index.html\">NY Times Wordle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why play?<\/strong><span>Addictive and fun<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>Not hugely challenging<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>If you\u2019re on Twitter or Facebook, it\u2019s almost impossible that you\u2019ll have missed the meteoric rise of Wordle - a simple daily word game. As Wordle caught on, players shared the cryptic looking yellow and green block patterns that show how you\u2019ve done on that day\u2019s challenge. Curiosity about these enticed ever more people to give the game a go.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t yet played it, Wordle involves trying to guess a five-letter word in no more than six turns. You start with a blank slate, enter your first guess word, and the game responds by telling you whether you guessed any letters correctly (yellow), and whether they\u2019re in the right place (green). Use the feedback to refine your guess, try to avoid pitfalls, and with luck you\u2019ll get the answer before you run out of attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Wordle\u2019s difficulty is perfectly judged such that you\u2019ll solve it almost every day, and typically in only around five minutes. But even though there\u2019s only one word a day, the game tracks your history on a specific device - use the same phone every day and you\u2019ll get stats to show how you\u2019re doing over time.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, addictive, but not too much of an effort, Wordle makes an almost perfect short diversion. However, it\u2019s not all that satisfying if you prefer longer, harder challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673274\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-065708_fccmm8.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Quordle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>All platforms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quordle.com\/\">Quordle<\/a><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_10 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why play?<\/strong><span>Wordle, but harder and more engrossing<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>Takes a little longer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673274\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-071547_ehufiy.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>If you love Wordle, but maybe find it a little easy, you\u2019ll probably enjoy Quordle. This browser-based game works in exactly the same way as the hugely popular original, with the twist that you\u2019re trying to solve four five-letter words at the same time. You have nine guesses to do it, which sounds like plenty, but often proves otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Quordle requires slightly different tactics to Wordle, with your first few guesses likely to focus on ruling in or out as many letters as possible. Sometimes your early breakthroughs give way to stalemate as you burn through repeated guesses, and sometimes inspiration (or luck) strikes and you\u2019ll solve all four words with guesses to spare.<\/p>\n<p>This game offers a slightly more in-depth take on the Wordle experience. While solving Wordle sometimes feels anticlimactic, using logic to scrape through Quordle in nine guesses can make you feel like a genius. Like Wordle, it\u2019s free and there\u2019s just one game a day - it\u2019s a decent diversion on a coffee break or over lunch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Words With Friends<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>Android <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.zynga.words&amp;gl=GB\">Words with Friends<\/a>, Free with in-app purchases<br \/>iOS <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/words-with-friends-classic\/id321916506\">Words with Friends Classic<\/a>, Free with in-app purchases<br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why install?<\/strong><span>Simple multiplayer word game<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span> Feels quite arcadey<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>If you\u2019ve ever played Scrabble, you know how to play Words With Friends. Available for Android, iOS and other platforms including Facebook, it\u2019s a tile-based word game for two players, following very similar rules to the classic.<\/p>\n<p>You can play by yourself in solo mode, but the fun comes with challenging friends or others to a match. Play more, win more, and you\u2019ll find tougher opponents to give you a real mental workout.<\/p>\n<p>Because Words With Friends uses a smaller board than Scrabble, it can fast become challenging to place words. While that\u2019s part of the fun, we\u2019re less keen on the app\u2019s adverts, which are frequent and intrusive. Although you can subscribe to disable them, it\u2019s not clear how to do it from the app. Even with them gone this still isn\u2019t a particularly relaxing game - its cartoonish noises and animations might not be to everyone\u2019s taste. And while the countless goals, rewards and challenges help to \u2018gamify\u2019 the whole experience, some players will find it all a bit too arcadey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_21 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_22 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673273\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220426-154310_srs6ro.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_22 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_23 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><em>CTA: Need a bigger screen or a faster framerate?

While the original, no frills board game is in there, you\u2019ll need to barge past loads of intrusive messaging and the offer of multiplayer games with strangers before you get near it. That wouldn\u2019t be so bad, but even while you\u2019re playing you\u2019ll still get nagged to start other games with random people.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a shame, because it detracts from the experience that many Scrabble players would want - a no frills, device-based version of the classic board game. Happily there\u2019s still plenty to like in this app, including multiplayer games against friends, and a solo game against computer opponents with a choice of difficulty levels.<\/p>\n<p>There are some omissions, though - you can\u2019t play a solo game against more than one computer opponent. We also would have liked an in-person mode, where you could pass a single device around between multiple players. All the same, this is as close as you\u2019ll get to proper Scrabble on a mobile device, and it\u2019s not bad if you ignore the distractions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_29 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673277\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-095631_jc2ptz.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_30 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673274\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220426-191148_odoid1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_31 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673274\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220426-191621_jga4i5.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_32 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_33 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673276\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220426-190434_ghdla7.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_34 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Wordscapes<br \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_35 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>Android <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.peoplefun.wordcross&amp;gl=GB\">Wordscapes<\/a>, Free with in-app purchases<br \/>iOS <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/wordscapes\/id1207472156\">Wordscapes<\/a>, Free with in-app purchases<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_35 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_36 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_37 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why install?<\/strong><span>A great balance of relaxing and challenging<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why avoid it?<\/strong><span>You\u2019ll want to get rid of the ads<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_38 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_39 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The best word games combine wordplay with addictive game mechanics, and none do it more convincingly than Wordscapes. Like all the best games it has a simple concept - you get a few letters and a simple crossword-style game board, and you need to spell words with the letters. When you\u2019ve guessed all the words and filled in the board, you move on to a new one.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s even simpler than it sounds. On the first few levels you\u2019ll have just three letters, each of which you can use only once, so you\u2019ll only be making three-letter words. As you progress you\u2019ll move up to four, then five letters, with more complex grids and less obvious words. The difficulty curve is nicely judged. The game never seems to get head-scratchingly hard, but there are clues available if you need them.<\/p>\n<p>Play for long enough and you\u2019ll unlock multiplayer features, allowing you to create or join teams and play in team events. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll also see a mind-numbing number of adverts, which crop up roughly every other level. You can get rid of them for about \u00a36. While that sounds steep, without them this is an addictive and gently challenging game without the intrusive features found in some other word game apps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_18 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_39 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_40 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673297\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-115450_x8w4ju.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_40 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_41 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673293\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-115621_hx2eog.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_41 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_42 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673287\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-102747_krtg0q.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_42 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_43 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1651673293\/Pics\/Screenshot_20220427-113146_ykz6so.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something about word games that makes them particularly compelling &#8211; and often horribly addictive.
