Moxie - Word Traveler

I absolutely love playing Moxie! It is up there with Wordle and Words with Friends. I have been playing it since the beginning because all the Blue Ox games are fun and clever word games. Moxie is very challenging once you understand how to play. There is a tutorial as you start and stick with it because it cleverly explains how to play and tricks and to help you score the best words. Like Wordle you are only playing against yourself, but unlike ke Wordle there is no limit to how many games you can play in one sitting LOL! Once you’ve worked out the rules and understand how to play it is absolutely addictive — but in a good way. Playing Moxie has thoroughly helped my scores in Words with Friends. If you have a question, the Blue Ox team answer you quickly and give you a clear explanations to help you play your best game. I think this is the first review I have every posted but this game deserves my time and yours. It’s that good. Have fun!

I play it all the time. My husband can always tell because I am holding my tablet in portrait mode! I was wondering what if anything triggers the Word frenzy challenges. I have it on a couple of devices, okay 3. They are all on different levels. They don’t all do it at the same time. Is it a score thing? Some of them say weekend frenzy, but not all of my devices start the challenge. I am just curious, it is my favorite part. And of course, learning archaic Scottish farming words!🤣🤣

This game is all the good things that others have expressed, but it also has drawbacks. For one, there are few ‘rewards’ of coins or power tools along the way, just lots of “opportunities” to purchase same. All other games I play provide a small daily reward for checking-in, and bonus rewards during game play. Some levels are highly challenging (a good thing) but highly frustrating without power tools or coins to buy them (not a good thing). There also seems to be some stinginess when one runs out of lives, which take ½ hour to regenerate. I’ve used up all 5 lives, then closed out the game only to open it hours later and see that all 5 lives are still expired. As soon as I open the game, the first life is just beginning to regenerate. I’ve seen several times when I’m on Life #5 and it tells me I’m 26 minutes before the next life is available. Several minutes later when I’ve still not conquered that level, the clock resets back to 30 minutes until the next life is available. I have also been awarded 4 power tools upon reaching a new ‘destination’ only to have them all disappear after using just one. Also, the “Undo” tool is not available when one is at the end of the 5th life. Glitches or greediness? Either way, makes the game less pleasurable.
