4 Pics 1 Word

Gameplay

4 Pics 1 Word's gameplay is very simple: each level displays four pictures linked by one word; the player's aim is to work out what the word is, from a set of letters given below the pictures. Players will find themselves seeing commonalities between two or three photos but being unable to figure out the linking word. This game has endless content and daily challenges that will keep players coming back. The game is said to follow the freemium model: although the game is free, microtransactions are available to help the user progress through the game more quickly.

Effect on cheating

The game is written from an English dialect perspective, as well as contains some unfamiliar words, causing some people to turn to cheating sites or apps to get the correct answers.
