Word Monaco: a word-based solitaire game for Palm OS (continued)
[Your editor is a geek, and so knows that 'mu' has a number of meanings, including as a letter of the Greek alphabet, a math term relating to the least value in a function, a proper name sometimes attributed to a continent that may have sunk into the Pacific ocean around the time of Atlantis, and something having to do with immunoglobins. This information is taking up the valuable space in your editor's mind that would be better served remembering where he put his keys. --Ed.]
When you win a game, the game presents you with the statistics of how many games you have played and how often you have won. It then takes you back to the setup screen to choose which kind of game to play. I would prefer to be given another game of the same kind that I'd just finished; if I want to change my settings I will go to the setup screen myself.
Overall, this is an excellent game. It is endlessly replayable because the letter tiles are delivered randomly, and the three difficulty levels and three play modes make each game different. I rate it a solid four out of five.
OUR RATING: 4 of 5
