While the main starter word must involve the use of all scrambled letters on the screen, the subsequent words can be any legal word, as long as they fit in the spaces and use the letters from the adjoining words. The Crossword feature once again involves scrambled letters, but this time they need to be placed into fixed numbers of spaces. As you get words correct, time is added, however, so your overall time can vary. Lightning is a fun game where advancing to the next round requires that you solve five puzzles of increasing difficulty, while also being timed with only two minutes. These two games have you using a bank of letters in which you must fill in as many different-length words as possible.
Timed and Untimed are the same game, but with one you are under the wire via the countdown. This scrambler consists of five modes of play: Timed, Untimed, Lightning, Crossword, and Word of the Day. It would have been nice to offer up a bit more in terms of different modes, or possibly even more variations, to fill out the gameplay options a bit. Unfortunately, the few modes of play present in Text Twist 2 aren't quite enough to satisfy. While there are a few different modes of play, the entire premise of the game, as is suggested by its title, is to unscramble the given letters and fit them into the different sized boxes that accompany them. Text Twist 2 is a very basic game with even more basic features.
