~~~~~ What is Zen Word? What kind of game is Zen Word? ~~~~~

Zen Word is a game where the player needs to find all the words that can be made from the given letters. So, for the letters ONT, one can spell NOT, TON and ON.

~~~~~ Is Zen Word “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~

Apart from supporting the developers, spending real world money allows for extra hints.

~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Zen Word? ~~~~~

There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game.

~~~~~ Is Zen Word fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~

For those who enjoy jumble-style puzzles, this game can give you a nice dose without the commitment of larger puzzles.

As with any word puzzle games, challenging is a relative term. It all depends on your skill level and vocabulary.

Is this a grind? Only if you need to do multiples in a short time.

~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~

This game is advertised as having no ads. Putting the game into airplane mode will stop the banner ads.

~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~

Pros:
Has soothing background music.
A good learning curve to the game.
Clues make sense. No obscure or far-fetched clues when looking back at the puzzle.
Lots of levels.
Daily puzzles.
Suitable for children, we would say 10+.

Cons:
We really could not find anything seriously wrong with this game.
Most games of this type use a cross-word format. This allows the player to figure out what words have yet to be guessed. In this game, the words are just listed alphabetically. This changes how you can approach the game. This isn't a con per se, but can take some getting used to.

~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~

Absolutely! This game seems to have done everything right. If you are a word-smith, you absolutely must get this game.
