Review: Typecrush Word Game

Posted in Reviews

About Typecrush: Typecrush is a word game that can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Really, there is only one rule: whoever solves the word first gets to pick the next word to be solved. It’s geared towards ages 7 and up, but younger kids could play with help or in a team situation. If you’ve every played hangman, you’ll understand the basic premise behind this game. One person picks a word (as simple or hard as they wish). They find the letters needed to make the word and flip over the color-coded circles, so…

This past weekend, while we were at the cabin, we decided to take a road trip to Sedona as we hadn’t been there before. It was a spur of the moment decision as Daddy just thought it would be fun. Of course, the puppies had to go on the road trip with us as it wouldn’t be the same without them. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous which made for an enjoyable trip. Much to my surprise, D looked up a gluten-free restaurant that focused on super healthy food, gmo-free, soy-free food. I thought we were going to just have a…
