Recently I discovered a unique vocabulary matching game, Virble. Virble can be described as a cross between Scrabble and Bejeweled. It is an upbeat and cartoony word game that is a lot harder than it looks. The player matches three or more letters in a string for points or to change their color to complete the game.

Virble quickly becomes exponentially difficult as the shapes the letter hexagons create make it hard to find any words to create at all. The game will soon have you doubting your vocabulary skills, but is a fun way to increase your verbal recognition skills.

This is one of the few flash games that save the player’s progress in the computer’s cookies. It’s a good way to spend a few minutes of free time and come back to it later. A lot of games are implementing this kind of functionality that does not even require the player to log in to retrieve their progress. The game starts out exactly where you left it as soon as it loads.

Virble is another unique flash game to try out that will really challenge your mind. I recommend it to anyone that is a fan of word games.
