7 Little Words uses a super-simple formula that works really well. It feels a bit like a crossword or anagram game, and it's got me pretty hooked. Each puzzle presents you with seven clues for seven mystery words, and twenty two- or three-letter combinations. Put the letter combos together to make words that fit the clues. Your goal in each puzzle is to use up all the letters to create seven words.
The nice thing about 7 Little Words is that it relies on elimination. If you don't know a 7 letter word for "New Hampshire Stone," complete all the words you can and then experiment with what's left. I've certainly been challenged by this game, but I've never felt out of my depth. If you're truly stumped, you can't get stuck – you're free to move onto any puzzle at any time.
Here are the answers:
