Keyword is all about finding your 3 “key” words in a manner that rivals Boggle or Bookworm. It's played over five levels instead of the usual three for cash games.
What's it about?]
The foundation of Keyword is the same as Boggle: locate words within a letter grid, and each letter must be touching. The main difference between the two is that in Boggle, you're racing to craft a large list of unique words and are playing against others, whereas in Keyword, you're playing against yourself and it's only your top three words that count.
You only have 5 minutes in total to get through five rounds and spell 15 words in Keyword. As you advance in play, certain tiles morph into clones of the higher-scoring squares in Scrabble (2x, 3x etc.).
Pros and cons
+ Time bonuses are up for grabs if you're a frantic speller.
+ You can choose to skip to the next stage if you're stuck.
- It's not very enthralling.
The verdict
If you're okay with plain word games, Keyword can cater to you. If you like your vocabulary vivacious, though, you will be disappointed.
