NymblesBasic for Windows

Nymbles is a new (patent pending) puzzle game that uses synonyms, antonyms and homonyms as clue words to help you solve two word phrases and compound words related to the puzzle title. It is fun, challenging and a great learning tool.

The Nymbles Basic app presents 5 sets of clues per game. This game will allow even elementary students a fun way to build their vocabulary. The student or player can compete against himself trying to beat his last score.

The title of the puzzle is the first clue. If needed, the hint button offers two more clues. It tells you the number of letters in the word and also whether the answer is a synonym, an antonym, or a homonym of the clue word given. There is an answer button, but students or players are encouraged to search for the definition of the clue word and to also use an on-line thesaurus. If the player chooses to use a dictionary or thesaurus, there are still choices to be made as to which word fits the puzzle title, has the correct number of letters, and helps make a phrase or compound word fitting with the second clue word given. The puzzles are fun, will definitely expand your vocabulary and will make you want to play each one again to better your score.
