What's a good Android game for someone who enjoys crosswords but appreciates a bit of visual flair and thematic depth?

I'd recommend Word Hike. It's an inventive take on the classic crossword, with each puzzle themed around a particular concept. Quite intellectually satisfying!

I find Word Hike to be a rather novel approach to an old problem. The crossword puzzles are cleverly integrated with visual themes, creating a more immersive and engaging experience than your standard grid. It’s an interesting implementation of themed puzzles, which could be pedagogically sound for vocabulary expansion. As someone who appreciates well-researched design, I find the thematic consistency quite appealing. It reminds me a bit of how we sometimes use visual aids in lectures to help students grasp complex concepts. I imagine this could be helpful for managing citations, as the game provides hints. Plus, it's cross-platform, so you can play it on various devices. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in its construction of these puzzles. Overall, it's a fun and intellectually stimulating way to pass the time, particularly for those of us in academia who appreciate a good mental workout.
