Just Words tests your ability to come up with words! In each game, the skill will extract a letter of the alphabet, and will challenge you to find a word starting with that letter, for each one of five categories chose from this seven:
- animals
- capitals
- foods
- professions
- proper names of person
- things
- States of the World You will receive one point for each letter that makes up the correct word that came to your mind. If this is your first time using this word, the points are worth double!
The accumulated points will be used to climb the weekly ranking. If at the end of the week you're in first, second or third place, you'll win "bonus" words, which you can use when you need a hint.
The prizes you can save by playing are:
- 3rd position in the standings: 3 suggestions
- 2nd position in the standings: 5 suggestions
- 1st position in the standings: 10 suggestions All players ranked in the top three, even if tied, will win the hint word. You can use hints when you get stuck: if you can't think of any words while playing, you can ask "Alexa, give me a hint", and the skill will find a word for you. The skill provides the ability to play as many games as you want every day, without limits.
Each day you will have two free hints to use, to which you will add those you have won (placing yourself in the top three in the ranking) or that you have purchased. With the multiplayer mode you can challenge your friends and family!
To play with multiple people, you need to be in the same room, and you all have to speak to the same speaker (from Amazon's Echo series or other devices that allow you to use Alexa).
The skill will ask for everyone's name, and decide the order of play. It will be fun waiting for your turn, hoping that the player before you doesn't steal the word you were thinking of! To play and have fun longer you can in fact buy packages of:
- 50 tips
- 100 tips
- 200 tips
Packages do not expire and you can use hints as and when you want. You will also be able to join the "Word Club", which is an additional paid service with a monthly subscription.
Being part of the "Word Club" will allow you to:
- participate in a separate ranking, reserved for club members
- play with categories that will vary with each game from over 29 different categories Access to the "Word Club" is based on a monthly subscription, with automatic renewal. Before making the payment, however, you can take advantage of a free trial week.
Unsubscribing is also very easy and you can do it at any time:
- access the Alexa app on your smartphone
- tap the menu at the bottom right
- go to Skills and games
- go to Your Skills
- find the skill "Just Words" and touch it
- go to Settings
- scroll down and tap on Manage Subscriptions Examples of sentences you can use:
"Alexa, open the Just Words"
"Alexa, ask Just Words for the rules"
"Alexa, ask Just Words how many suggestions I have"
"Alexa, ask Just Words for help" This is an example of how to play a match at this game:
The skill will extract a letter of the alphabet and say it to you, for example the letter "A".
Alexa will then ask you to say the name of an animal starting with the letter A.
You can answer immediately, or ask for more time. If you can't think of any animals with A, you can say "pass" or say "give me a hint".
If you pass, you move on to the next category without earning any points.
If, on the other hand, you can answer with a correct word, for example "alligator", you will earn 6 points, or 12 points if this is the first time you use this word. Have fun!
