My Favorite Word Game
It's basically a dressed up version of Hangman, in which you have to figure out a series of words to fill up a pyramid. You start off with a nine letter word, and work your way up to a three letter word (seven words altogether).
There are two modes, Adventure and Classic. Classic allows you to choose a pyramid from four experience modes. Each experience mode uses a different percentage of the dictionary to pick the words from: 20%, 40%, 80% and 100%. The lower the percentage the easier the words. Adventure mode has a story about an archaeological exploration that you progress through as you play the game. The first quarter of the Adventure mode pulls words from 20% of the dictionary, the next quarter uses 40% of the dictionary, etc.
There is a timer, but it's only there to let you know how long the game is taking in the Classic mode. There is a level that rises or lowers depending on incorrect letter choices and correct solving of words in both modes. If the level hits the bottom without you having solved all the words in the pyramid, you lose that round. There are bonuses you can earn in the Adventure mode (revealing all vowels, revealing a single letter of your choice, etc.), that act as helpful clues.
It's a well-designed, smooth-playing game. The bells & whistles add to the game instead of detracting from it, and it's not designed as one of those overly-cutesy games. The Adventure mode story has enough of a hook to keep you interested. There's a Hall of Fame that records the highest scores so the game has a lot of re-playability. Unlike a lot of word games, this one will offer a continual challenge at the higher levels for people who have a good vocabulary or want to improve theirs.
It's a good single-player game, and would also be good as a family or multi-player game, due to the ability to choose the difficulty level in the Classic mode. Even in the Adventure mode, later on when the words start to get harder, the kids can still have fun trying to guess what letter is needed.
This is my go-to game when I'm in the mood for a word game.

nice hangman-style Word game
The background, music, special keys, and graphics keep this from being a boring hangman-style game. It could be a little difficult for kids who may not know the bigger words, however it's not too challenging (the first round of challenges, anyway), so they will be able to play and guess anyway. It's a relaxing game, and if you're looking for something to pass the time and enjoy Word games, you may like this one.

It was OK
there was nothing to assist you in figuring the word out. You just started blind, and continued all the way through.

Guessing game?
This game is dumb. Except for a couple of "themed" days you just have to guess at letters until you find one. This game would be richly enhanced (and a lot more fun) if it gave you some idea of what kind of words you are looking for. The theme is Amazing Pyramids, why not use words that are found in each scene of the "adventure"?

The first few levels were fun because I hand't played a game quite like this. After the first segment though it lost a lot of it's appeal because it was no longer new. Now I play it for just one pyramid at a time.

Amazing Pyramids
This game is unexciting and not challenging at all.

Just for kids.
Very disappointed here. Game was really for kids. Not very imaginative.

This is rubbish
I usually really enjoy word games, even simple ones, so I decided to give this a look. I tried it out before buying, thank goodness, as I only got four levels into it before it messed up, by rejecting a letter that turned out to be correct, leaving me with no letters left and an unfinished word. C'mon guys,

Hanggame.
The time it takes for the next challange to come up is much to long and many of the words were just silly,I could not find them in the dictionary even.shame because this hangman type game has the potantial to be good fun.

a year later and I still play this game
You build words starting with long words at the bottom of the pyramid and work up. As you level up, more obscure words are used. The most frustrating part of this game is when you finish a pyramid and have to wait while the endless graphics effects circle everything. If it weren't for this incredibly annoying and boring aspect, I'd play the game for hours and much more frequently. Some of the pyramids have words that are part of a category (eg things related to movies# but most are random. There are two kinds of mini-games; one where you make as many words as possible out of a given set of letters and one where you unscramble the letters to create a word. It expects a certain word so you can create a perfectly good word but if it's not the one it's looking for, it doesn't count. Same with the pyramid words; it has to be the specific one it's looking for. I can live with that on the pyramid but it seems to me like any legitimate word should be accepted when unscrambling letters. This is a game I played several times initially. Now I go to it when I need a change of pace; I play a few rounds #until I get bored with waiting for the unnecessary graphic show at the top of the pyramid and then come back days or weeks later and play a couple more rounds. With some minor improvements, this could be 5 star entertainment.
