Good, fairly mindless match 3 game, the flowers explode in a satisfying shower of petals, can be played in relaxed mode (which I appreciate!). The story-line is terrible though, what little of it there is ... it's told in "journal entries" by the young Monarch King, and simply makes no sense. Usual nonsense about an evil wizard covering the butterfly glade in amber, then there's a switch to a castle (huh, what castle, where did that come from?), more vaguely Celtic mumbo-jumbo ... so if you're looking to become involved in the story -- well, fuggedaboudit. But if you just want to chill and blow up some flowers, then this is your game.
I recommend this game!

I didn't find this challenging enough for an adult, too many hints. This game could be great for kids, though, since it can build vocabulary confidence and enhance spelling skills.
I recommend this game!

I'd give this more stars if I could -- as an English major it goes without saying that words are my "thing!" This game offers plenty of challenges for any wordsmith, and gives you plenty of time to come up with nice long words for more points. But you definitely don't have to be an English professor to play this game well and enjoy it -- there are plenty of words to be made from the letter selections given, and lots of potions and power-ups are awarded along the way to help Lex the Bookworm overcome the villains! The story is charming and cohesive, and some of the things Lex and the characters "say" are downright hilarious! Mini-games are fun as well. Highly recommended!!
I recommend this game!
