Much like Simple Machine's other titles, LEX keeps it simple. It's a word game for those with no interest in filler content or being overwhelmed by options. It works pretty well too, although some will wish for more variation in the long run.
As well as that, the more words created, the bigger the score multiplier - but ultimately LEX is a pretty simple game. There aren't any bonuses or power-ups to use here, coins to gain, or anything more than the satisfaction of a job well done and a place on the Game Center leaderboards.
Kind of like an appetizer before the main course, LEX is a bite-sized piece of shallow fun. Something that Simple Machine is generally pretty good at providing. Just don't expect it to be something that sticks in one's memory for any length of time, despite the original timer mechanics. It's just not that kind of thing.
