“Lateral thinking - Word Game” is a game that exercises your mind and develops lateral thinking skills. You have to put the words in a logical order to make the correct sequence and complete the chain. Every sequence has 9 words. The first and last ones are fixed. The other 7 are in a random order. The player has to change the order creating links between the words. In the correct sequence, each word forms a pair with another, i.e. the first word is linked to the second, the second to the third, etc. The links between words may be logical or contextual. Here are some examples: ‘Rose’ is linked to ‘Bed’, as in a ‘bed of roses’. ‘Air’ is linked to ‘Port’, as in ‘airport’. ‘Bird’ is lined to ‘Stone’ as in the expression ‘kill two birds with one stone’. ‘Page’ is linked to ‘Paper’ because a page can be made of paper. ‘Romeo’ is linked to ‘Juliet’ because of the famous play. ‘Good’ is linked to ‘Nothing’ as in the expression ‘good for nothing’. ‘Paris’ is linked to ‘France’ because of its geographical association. ‘Love’ is linked to ‘Hate’ because they are opposites. ‘Wonderful’ is linked to ‘Fantastic’ because they are synonyms. ‘Hammer’ is linked to ‘Nail’ because of their logical use together. Good luck!

Almost fun

Some relations are unclear due to their subjective nature--being clouded by popular culture terms. It makes things needlessly difficult. Also, the way it's made clearly limits lateral thinking as you must have the words in a particular order before it lets you move on to the next set. I personally had several occasions where the order in which I arranged the words seemed correct to me (and made sense), but were not deemed "correct" by the game. Due to the ambiguous nature of words due to different perceptions, this isn't the way lateral thinking actually works. The game could be fixed by adding a percentage grading system instead of an all-or-nothing system.

It'd be nice if they gave you more feedback on your answers. It just tells you it's "wrong" and then you can never find out the "right" way they want the order. I wish it weren't so frustrating.
