  Unlock a tale of romantic love

"Dark clouds were lingering in the sky, waiting to open up and drench the natives of Lingrove. I was sitting on the branch of my tree house and tying a swing to it. Suddenly a fierce thunder erupted in the sky, making me jump. I fell off the branch, crying "ouch!" as I landed with a thud. I started calling names looking at the sky. An even stronger thunder yelled back at me, the rain falling harder.
"That's when I heard someone laughing. I looked around and saw a girl holding a basket of flowers. She was dressed in white and had the prettiest eyes. She just stood there, drenched in the rain, smiling and full of innocence."
And so begins the love story at the heart of Lingrove, a challenging new word game for Android. Can you work your way through the puzzles and unlock the rest of the tale?

Word Workout

The word games in Lingrove are simple to play but difficult to beat. If you've ever played the colored-peg game Mastermind then you already understand the concept: Try to solve the mystery word by guessing different letters until you've found the right combination. Every time you put the correct letter in the right place in the word, the game draws a box around it. If you guess the right letter right but place it out of order, the letter is be circled. Then you just have to try it in another slot on your next guess.
In the picture at left, for example, the game helps you get started by providing the letter "C" in the correct location. The first guessed word ("WATCH") does not reveal any other correct letters but it does eliminate W, A, T, and H from consideration. The second guess shows that P and E are also correct and in the proper place. It also reveals that there is an I in the word, but in a different spot. Third time's the charm, as the answer is "PRICE."

Solve with Strategy

Look easy? It's not. You only get five guesses and then the game is over. You can guess four letters correctly early on and still not figure the word out in time. If you have WA_ES, for example, there are many possible words but only one correct answer. It could be WARES, WAVES, WAGES, WANES, etc.
The best strategy, then, is to guess the most common letters first, and always choose different letters--other than the right ones!--to eliminate as many as possible each time. Note that all your guesses must be actual words, so it takes more thought than just randomly trying different combinations of letters.

Lingrove Love

The more words you solve, the higher your score. For every puzzle solved you also collect experience points (XP), which carry over from game to game. Each time you garner 15 more experience points, you fill up the Secret Meter and another part of the love story is revealed. Please, don't leave our little Lingrove lad pining for the object of his desire. Use your brain power to make sure the couple lives happily ever after!
Note: Lingrove is compatible only with HDPI screen resolutions of WVGA800 (480x800) and WVGA854 (480x854).
