Shangri La is a word game in which you must form words with the available letter tiles. The available tiles are the ones that have at least two adjoining sides unblocked. They are easily identified by their yellow color. Each letter contains a certain amount of dots. The more dots it has, the more points you will get when forming a word with that letter. Also, the longer the word is the more points you get. You can form up to 8-letter words. There are also joker tiles that you use to replace other letters. Once you unlock the star tile and click on it, the puzzle is solved. Each puzzle has a certain amount of goals that you can reach, for which you will be awarded stars. As you play, you can also unlock tools that help you win the levels faster and more easily. There are also fortune tiles which contain surprises, but beware since some of them can make your life more difficult.
In addition to this, the game features colorful cartoon graphics. As you play, you will unlock beautiful landscapes and the characters are really cute. Sound effects are cool and the music is lovely, but a bit repetitive.
All in all, Shangri La is a nice word game that will surely attract many fans of this genre.
