A very usual picture when we went to our grandparents’ house. See them concentrated in their seats, with their close-up glasses ready to fall off their faces, pen in hand and magazine in the other. Thus some of them passed the hours, after thick volumes full of pastimes. Inside, soups of letters, crosswords, hieroglyphs and, more recently, sudoku, relieved the hours of boredom with activities that, in turn, brought numerous benefits to their mental health.
In the XXI century they are still selling this type of publications. We can see them, mainly, at kiosks and airport stores. They do not use batteries, they can be used in mid-flight and we train our brains a bit. And there are times when we would like to be able to make some soup of letters, emulate our grandparents, while we go on the bus. And this is where our beloved applications make their appearance.
We offer you 5 games of classic hobbies for Android. With them, you can play the usual games such as Word Search or crossword puzzles. Some of them, even, with a modern touch. Do not wait any longer and try these 5 games of classic pastimes for Android.
«Sopa de letras»
Who does not like a good alphabet soup? Now you can play as much as you want to an authentic word search, using your fingers instead of a pen. The mechanics is the one already known: a panel appears with a handful of disordered letters among which are hidden words that you must find. To mark them, it is enough to underline them with your finger, but in the order in which they are written: you must always start with the first letter and end with the last letter.
You can choose between several languages, not only Spanish. Así podrás practicar y aumentar tu vocabulario de inglés, francés o alemán, entre otras lenguas disponible. This way you can practice and increase your vocabulary of English, French or German, among other languages available. As you progress in the game the panels will increase the number of letters and, with them, the difficulty of them. When you have indicated the word, below you can see, in total, which letters are those that you have integrated into the line. Make sure you can read the entire word before you release your finger. As you solve panels you will earn coins that you can exchange for clues. The clues are accessed thanks to the icon in the form of light bulb that we have in the lower part of the app. We can also restart the game or solve it, directly. You can play the game, also, without an Internet connection.
«Cruzadas»
A classic pastime that consists of fitting different words within a network of squares that cross each other. Above you have the list of all the words you must enter in the panel, ordered by number of letters. Below, the panel where they should be placed. To go placing them, you just have to press a row in the panel, it will be shaded. In turn, you will see how the list of words whose letters coincide in number with the selected area has been shaded at the top. In turn, you will see how the list of words whose letters coincide in number with the selected area has been shaded at the top. You just have to choose the word that you think best fits and the game will do the rest for you.
Be careful with choosing the right one: here you will not be able to undo the movements and, once a word is placed, there is no going back … Even if that were not the correct one. We can ask the game for help in exchange for adding extra time to the resolution of the hobby. We can ask you to indicate the mistakes that we have or that you add a letter as a clue. A complete and very entertaining game of crusades, which you can play in Spanish or in many other languages. Simply download the dictionary of words in the configuration section.
«Crucigramas»
A game quite similar to the previous one: here we must find out which words are the ones that we should fit in the panel, thanks to the definitions of them. A very configurable game, because we can tell it how many columns and rows we want for the pastime, as well as the orientation and difficulty of it. Its gameplay is somewhat erratic: you have to be very aware of where you press, to choose well the row of boxes where we want to put the word, and the box itself. If the box is shaded, we will assign a letter, whether it is already a letter or not. For example, if we are going to write a word crossed with another, it is normal that there are boxes common to both words. Be careful with these boxes because we can change it without wanting to. Simply, you have to be very careful where the letters are placed.
Jeroglíficos
We have all played the hieroglyphics at some time. Those combinations of strange drawings that hide the solution to the enigma. There are some extremely easy and others a little more complicated. So much, that they may make you lose patience. The game will teach you different hieroglyphics that you will have to guess by writing the answer through an integrated keyboard. To solve the hieroglyph you just click on the green ‘Enter’ button. As you get rigth, the level of difficulty of the game will increase.
«Manía de palabras»
We wanted to introduce Mania de palabras because, despite not being a classic pastime proper, it can remind us of all this type of classic games. And because I also wants to put some modern graphics among so much austerity. In Mania of words you will have to form words with the letters that the game offers you, filling in a series of boxes. You must link the letters with a finger gesture, using several or all of the ones offered by the game. With coins you can ask for clues to the game, as well as participate in daily challenges that will give you rewards.
