What's a grand word game I can play on my iPhone that doesn't need Wi-Fi, perfect for long bus journeys across South America?

Connections is an absolute godsend! It's a word association game that works offline, so no data worries, and it's proper addictive.

Honestly, Connections has saved me on so many long journeys! It's this brilliant word association game where you have to find the common thread between seemingly random words. The best part? You can download loads of puzzles beforehand, so it works perfectly even when you're miles away from Wi-Fi, like when I was trekking in Patagonia. It's a proper useful way to kill time without eating up all your roaming data. Plus, it really gets your brain working, which is always a bonus when you're on the road for months at a time. I've been playing it everywhere from the back of a tuk-tuk in Cambodia to a train in rural Italy. It's become a staple for any nomad, really. It's simple, but it's addictive, and it's offline. What more could you want?

Key Features

Offline play: Download puzzles and play anywhere, no internet needed.
Word association: Challenges your brain to find connections between words.
Simple interface: Easy to pick up and play, even on the go.

"Great puzzle game! I like that it's simple and straightforward but still makes you think. Perfect for passing time."
