Word Morph - Kindle "Game" for a Penny

Mobi Games has another of their interactive titles for the Kindle at a penny. This time, it's Word Morph Volume 1: transform the starting word one letter at a time until you spell the ending word , by Leonid Braginsky. Unlike the Sudoku game, this one doesn't appear to require the Kindle DX, so I'll be trying it on my original Kindle.

Book Description
How do you make a flip from a flop? Obviously, by changing the i to an o. This is how you play Word Morph. At each step, you can change one letter to form a new word. The task is to transform the starting word one letter at a time until you spell the ending word.

For example, here is a puzzle:

east
----
----
west

You can get from east to west like this:

east
past
pest
west

Often puzzles have more than one solution. In the east to west example, you could also do:

east
last
lest
west

or

east
vast
vest
west

Sometimes the sequences are quite long. For example, here is one way to get from teach to learn:

teach
peach
peace
place
plane
plans
plays
slays
stays
stars
sears
years
yearn
learn

Each puzzle comes with one to three solutions. For most solutions a hint is available.

The puzzles are divided into several difficulty levels, from Novice to Expert, based on the length of the solution.

Enjoy the game!


There are four more Word Morph books in the Kindle store, all of them at $0.99.
