Even though I was attempting to read the letters backwards, this is still one of the coolest word games I’ve ever played. I love puzzles, and I love electronics. How could it get much better than that? The Cubed Electronic Puzzle Game from ThinkGeek will give you hours of fun – and hours of banging your head when you can’t figure it out!!

Some puzzles are hard. They are puzzles to the power of one. Some puzzles are super hard, and those are puzzles to the power of two (Puzzle Squared). This puzzle game is so difficult, it’s puzzle to the power of three (Puzzle Cubed, or Cubed Electronic Puzzle). Ok, so you can argue the puzzle pieces are also cubes, and that’s why it’s called what it is – but just go with us, mmkay? Because this puzzle really is hard; it’s actually 600 different puzzles in one. Here’s why:

Cubed (for short) is composed of four electronic cubes. Each one is surrounded on four sides by magnetic connectors, and each displays 1/4 of the puzzle on its LCD screen. Now, you just have to figure out how the pieces connect together as you connect the cubes via their magnets. There are even two separate games you can play: you can make pictures and icons by forming a square shape, or you can form words in a rectangular shape. All 600 puzzles are shown in the instruction manual, but when you hear the timer beeping down, there isn’t enough time to cheat. Get ten puzzles solved in a row and you win. Fail and you are (well, we won’t tell anyone…just keep trying until you win)!

Each electronic puzzle piece has an LCD screen and 4 magnetic connectors. The pieces connect together to form the puzzle solution. There are 600 different games in all!! Yes – six HUNDRED. See what I mean? You will spend literally hours and hours playing with these blocks, and still never manage to do it all. It’s just not humanly possible!

You can keep score and then compete against friends if you wish. Let me know how well you do at the word games. I’ll bet you that when I’m not playing it backwards, I can beat your score!
