Think hard! And turn those lumps of coal you call brain cells into some brain gems!

If you like word jumbles, crosswords, word ladders, word association, bad puns, anagrams, fill-in-the-blanks and trivia you should try Brain Gems!

Brain Gems is a fun and addictive word game that combines elements from all of these games into a nice shiny diamond!

Each puzzle consists of crossword-style clues where all of the answers fit into a diamond shape. So shorter words are on the top and bottom, while longer words are closer to the center. Once you answer a clue correctly, you reveal that word in the diamond!

And once you get one answer right, you now have another hint to the remaining clues, since neighboring answers share letters!

Clues are a wide variety of trivia, definitions, pop-culture, movies, television, stars, quotes, bad puns, songs, capitals, language, vocabulary, logic, fill-in-the-blanks, geography, word play and much more!

If you love word games, then you just might love Brain Gems too! So test your skills and solve the diamonds!

Pros and cons of Brain Gems Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Brain Gems Lite app good for

Recommend for word game lovers, especially those who like to unscramble letters.
Great game for exercising the mind. However, it could be better by adding some scoring and keeping track of it. Scoring could either be against a time frame for completion or against the times posted when other individuals completed the same game.
This game is a fun jazzy combo of the kinds of games named in the description. I enjoy playing it without the timer. I would love an option for different music. Other than those two small * wishes*-- bravo,, Give it a try! @mzzlee
Great game to pass some time and you might learn something while your at it...
Love the concept. Very fun word game. Wish there was a skip button so that if I give up I dont have to wait for the time to run out.
This game keeps me awake at night!! Hahah it seems that every answer is on the tip of my tongue but can never figure them out. It keeps me enterrained

Some bad moments

I enjoyed the old version of the game a lot better. The only thing I like about the update is the larger keyboard. This new version feels overly childish, slow and is also boring. I can hardly muster enough focus to make it through one or two animations/words appearing before I think of closing the app. There is also something wrong with the sound. I foresee some updates (back to the previous) in the near future.
I liked the graphics better on the old one. The set up was better and more user friendly. My sound wont turn off. This new version is horrible.
Kept freezing up on me. I lost all my stats each time it froze. I deleted and reinstalled twice hoping it would be better. Just deleted for final time. It never got better :(
Lots of fun and makes you think! If you want the ability to save your game, just turn off the timer before you start a particular puzzle. You can turn the timer on/off anytime so try it both ways to see what works best for you. Happy puzzling!
Its a good concept but I think the developer/researcher needs to be more careful with clue/answer accuracy and with being MUCH less ambiguous. Ive found two after playing 4 games. Heres an example: "South American Rica starter" Im a Spanish teacher so I know that the game was looking for "Costa"--but Costa Rica is a few hundred miles north...in Central America. They are distinct regions. "Exciting". The answer was "Arousing". Just because Im excited (thrilled) doesnt mean Im aroused. Maybe "Stimulating" would be a more accurate clue? Just some things to consider--things that would make the game less frustrating and make me want to quit.
In the age of info one doesnt have to ponder long- I like this because I feel my brain cells shaking off the dust without too vigorous a work out. Entertaining cuz most are ez but fun to complete. Like it a lot!
