Gameplay
4 Pics 1 Word's gameplay is very simple: each level displays four pictures linked by one word; the player's aim is to work out what the word is, from a set of letters given below the pictures.[2] Players will find themselves seeing commonalities between two or three photos but being unable to figure out the linking word. [1]This game has endless content and daily challenges that will keep players coming back. The game is said to follow the freemium model: although the game is free, microtransactions are available to help the user progress through the game more quickly.[3]
