Word Alien is a free odd-one-out word puzzle game for Android. In every level, people in a real city hold up words. All the words share one hidden link except one. Find the odd word out and you unmask the alien hiding among the humans. Word Alien is made by ALEGRIA ASC and plays in English, Arabic, French and Spanish.

How do you play Word Alien?
1. Read the placards: four to six words.
2. Find the link that connects all of them but one.
3. Tap the odd word out. You have two or three tries.
4. See the rule and why the alien gave itself away.

What makes this word game different?
• Clever traps, not easy categories. The odd word often looks like it belongs, so you must find the exact rule, as in the best word association and logic puzzles.
• 1,000 levels in 1,000 real cities in 184 countries, from Paris, Cairo and Istanbul to Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, each drawn with its landmarks, river, coast or desert.
• Live weather and local time: play in the rain, snow, fog or night of the city right now.
• A daily challenge: one new puzzle every day, a streak and bonus coins.
• Professor Ink, a brainy octopus, explains every link so you learn something new.
• A passport with a stamp and a flag for every country you visit, badges and 20 stages around the world.
• Three power-ups: Hint, New words and Scanner, plus a free gift every 10 levels.
• Five lives that refill every 15 minutes, with a reminder when they are full.
• Calm or suspense music.

What kinds of links will you find?
Categories and hidden shared traits, things that work the same way, scenes, symbols, general knowledge and trivia, science, geography, history, literature, and word play. The first levels teach the game gently; then the difficulty rises with red herrings and expert puzzles.

Who is Word Alien for?
Adults and teens who enjoy word games, brain teasers, riddles, logic puzzles, trivia quizzes and general knowledge, and anyone who wants a short, smart puzzle break every day.
