Introduction

Here's a fun game that you can enjoy: you're going to need to fill in the blanks. It's a complete-the-phrase type of game with elements from anagram puzzles, crosswords, and hangman.

You're given plenty of free puzzles and you'll find it will actually be a workout for your brain while having fun.

Challenge Yourself

This game is a fairly new release and features 100 free puzzles for you to work your way through. These puzzles are spread out over more than 30 categories such as songs, toys, and candy. The game is easy to understand but not so easy to master. Because this game can be so challenging there are four different levels of hints to help you out. What's really great is that these hints are free to use so you won’t end up stuck on a puzzle. This is a unique twist on typical fill in the phrase games so it will feel fresh and fun. Blankety-Blank also supports Game Center so you can see how you stack up next to your friends when it comes to your score.

The app is free to play the first 100 puzzles, as mentioned, and after that you can purchase additional puzzles. These in-app purchases range in price from $0.99 for individual puzzle packs or $1.99 to unlock all the puzzle packs. The app currently has 4.5 out of five stars from users who are clearly loving this challenge.

 

The Gaming Experience

Launch the game to be taken to the main menu which is clean and simple. If you want to move straight to the “Play” option then you can do so. Your category is shown on top of the screen, there is a time clock ticking away, and your score is on the upper right hand. Your word will appear with letters scattered along the bottom of the screen. Your job is to fill in the blanks with the correct letters to make the correct word. If you need a hint, just use one of the four hints offered at the bottom of the screen.
