Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I’ve seen enough word games to last a lifetime, and Words in Progress doesn't try to offend. It’s clean, it’s quiet, and it works. The vertical conveyor mechanic adds a slight layer of pressure that keeps you from just idling, but at its core, it's just another way to spell 'S-A-T-I-S-F-A-C-T-O-R-Y'.
It lacks the grit or the deep hook of a truly great puzzle title, but for ten minutes in a waiting room, it serves its purpose. If you're looking for innovation, you won't find it here; you'll find a stable, predictable experience that respects your time but rarely rewards your intellect with anything more than a 'Good Job'.
