Margot’s Word Brain

You know the type. Frequently seen with the morning paper tucked folded under their arm, with the day’s crossword halfway completed. Known to awkwardly insert uncommon terms into conversations, finding joy in the confused looks cast their way by others. Currently schooling you in fifteen simultaneous on-going sessions of Facebook Scrabulous. They are the vocabulary addicts. They are the word nerds.
And they’re also often DS owners, a fact that’s been exploited by several publishers, including Nintendo itself, in the past — first-party efforts appealing to this audience have previously included the brain-training series of mental exercise games, and this past spring’s Crosswords DS. Margot’s Word Brain is the latest title to hit Nintendo’s portable and attempt to capitalize on that same lexicon-crazed crowd. And it does so by closely copying the conventions created by those same Nintendo games, along with several other past word-based puzzlers.
First, the similarities to Brain Age. Like that popular 2006 title, Margot’s Word Brain begins by having you turn your DS system on its side, to hold it in “book style” mode. Also like Brain Age, this game features a smiling, helpful instructor character (the titular Margot) who explains each game’s rules, and offers encouragement and score assessments after each session. And, also like Brain Age, the substance of Word Brain’s gameplay is made up of timed, mind-exercising activities that are meant to test your mental agility more than your hand-eye coordination.
