When you tap Emoji Cats Word Guess’s dictionary setting menu, you’re probably not surprised to see Easier and Harder, ditto for Spanish, German, and French, but then right there in the middle, what is Swords doing there? I heard from one Emoji Cats Word Guess user who had assumed that “Swords” just meant super hard, and then was surprised to find that it really did mean actual swords.
Well, as described on Emoji Cats Word Guess’s “About” screen, the Swords dictionary is a bonus feature for anyone who would see “emojicatswordguess” (for example, Emoji Cats Word Guess’s Google Play Store listing URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tachyonlabs.emojicatswordguess) and want to parse it as “Emoji Cat Sword Guess” in addition to “Emoji Cats Word Guess”, which I personally found highly amusing. 😹 ⚔️
Swords is a currently-150-words dictionary of types of swords plus names of named swords both real and fictional. One thing that can make Swords pretty hard is that as it contains swords from many different countries/languages/eras/works of fiction/etc. it can be hard to predict good common letters or letter combinations. Below is a list of all 150 swords with very brief descriptions — I wouldn’t make a list like this for any of Emoji Cats Word Guess’s other dictionaries, which contain many thousands of words, but for only 150, why not? If you know of any other swords that you think should be included in Emoji Cats Word Guess (single-word swords only — alas, no Sword of Gryffindor, though I do have it elsewhere), post about them in a comment below, and I may add them to the database.
