Review: An interesting way to do a word find

A word find on a Kindle? Yep, and it actually works decently once you get the hang of it. Basically, the reader is just finding the words on the screen (the honor system), then when you click to the next page, they are crossed off (instead of circled) for you. There is no use of the 5-way controller in finding the word. For that reason, I don't really consider this "interactive", but it is fun just the same.The puzzles themselves are challenging, with many cases where the word is almost spelled out to try to trick you. It's easy to cheat by paging ahead, but don't do it! All the words need to be found in the order they are listed. You can't skip around when you happen to find a different word. There are only 15 puzzles, so it won't take you long to finish. The only good thing is you can come back to it in the future and the words won't be circled--you can start searching again.Make sure you read the instructions first, and if you are like me and have your font a little higher than normal on the Kindle, change/lower your font size if necessary so everything fits on one page. Also, the Amazon description says this is "optimized for larger screens". Well, I don't have a large screen Kindle (just the newest basic model) so the letter grid is a bit small for me.Worth the free download, but I wouldn't pay for it.
