Squell – Puzzle Game Review
Squell is a Puzzle/Word game from Compassionate Robot Studios LLC, first launched in 27th June 2024.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 26+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Squell Stand Out
Squell is a casual spelling game that challenges your vocabulary and your spatial reasoning. Imagine Boggle got a little too friendly with a Rubik's cube and you've got Squell. Rearrange a grid of letters to spell words. How many moves you make matters, but get good and keep the game going to rack up tons of points.
Squell games are controlled by how many moves you make, so you play it at your own pace. It's a great game to put down and come back to later, since all progress is saved on your device as you play and you can always review the words you've already spelled. It works offline, so it's great on a plane, a train, or in that waiting room with no cell service.
Squell is simple to play, but with plenty of strategies to uncover and master, you'll come back to it again and again!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Squell is super addictive – Im still only working on 4-letter words & have spent hours trying to beat it! The simple format makes it a great brain challenge.
We love the game! Its challenging, and different. But when using different word checking resources, there is little help with Squell. And there is a chance you know an existing word that isnt counted towards what the game recognizes as being a possibility. We suggest at least expanded options, one of which shows what words are actually possible on the board. And for fun, it could show what these words mean. But again, all only as an option for those just getting into the game or trying to expand their vocabulary.
Well conceived word game, with simple, effective UI. The game greatly misses an internal scoreboard, which keeps track of ones best scores across games over time. As it stands, there is no such feature in the app, even though achieving a high score is what this word game is about.
Downloaded this the other day. The game is easy enough to jump right in and start playing but challenging enough that we find ourselves coming back often and trying to beat our high score. Each level gets progressively harder and keeps things really entertaining.
Squell is a fun word game where you drag letters around a grid to spell words. The exciting feedback when you match a word keeps you hooked, and the increasing challenges make it engaging for all skill levels. With its clean design and smooth gameplay, Squell offers a fresh twist on classic word puzzles. Give it a try and enjoy the fun.
Its challenging and a fun little word game. Just wish they would add a leaderboard to it.
This has quickly become our favorite word game. We are obsessed.
Squell is a great little word game to play while needing to pass some time for a few minutes. Its fast but challenging. We highly recommend it.
Really enjoy it. Our 6-year-old is transfixed.
We recently downloaded this new game, and it has quickly become one of our favorites! From the moment we started playing, we were hooked by its fun and engaging gameplay. The game not only tests your vocabulary but also challenges your spatial reasoning, making it a perfect blend of brain exercise and entertainment. What sets this game apart is its unique approach to word puzzles. Its not just about finding words; you also need to strategically find the combinations, adding an extra layer of difficulty that keeps things interesting. The graphics are crisp, the interface is user-friendly, and the overall experience is seamless. We've only been playing for an hour, but we're already addicted. If you're looking for a game that will keep your mind sharp and provide hours of fun, this is definitely the one to try! Highly recommend.
Such a fun game to play while just lounging around.
Great game for brain engagement. Fun to work against the move count to spell words. Working out strategic moves before moving the tiles feels clever & smart.
Looks simple but is secretly complex, we keep coming back to it. Love these word-based games so much.
