This video shows Word Connect for the levels listed in the title.

What is Word Connect Pro?

Word Connect Pro is a Cross-word lite game where a group of letters are given and the player needs to fill the puzzle using only those letters given.

How to play

The player drags the pointer across the letters to make a combination. If this combination is a word, the player will be rewarded.

Review of the game?

The music is relaxing.
The concept is fine.
This game is good for those people where English is their primary language. Some of these words may not be known to non-native English speakers.

However the word list leaves much to be desired:
Some words are not known to the game - like MAGE.
Some words are known but their plural is not - GAME is acceptable and GAMES is not.
Some words are accepted in some levels but not in others.
The game considers SAGEM, GPS and DIY as words. They are not. (Sagem is the name of a French company and GPS is an acronym while DIY is shorthand for Do It Yourself.)
So this game needs to reconsider its dictionary file. We used a Scrabble dictionary to find words which stumped us - and still got stumped.

What about advertisements?

When connected to the Internet, an advertisement will appear every 3 or so levels.
This game uses a cloud save feature over local storage. So if you enter airplane mode to play, remember to connect before you close out the game to keep your progress.

Any objectionable material?

You have to really go deep to find anything objectionable in a word sorting game. Words like SHIFT can be rearranged to have a naughty word shown. While the word is not counted as an acceptable word, or even a bonus word, some parents would be bothered if their young child accidentally saw it.

So what is the bottom line? Is this a worthwhile game?

As word puzzle games go, this is not a bad game - but with the aforementioned caveats. Just be warned that this game may frustrate you at times.
