Great but needs some tweaks...

I play this game every day and really like it, but it needs a few things. Like a hint feature which might give you the first letter of a word (possibly a limited number of hints per game) and definitely more flexibility on what words are accepted. Unfortunately, it doesnt look like the dev is still doing updates. :(

Poor use of dictionary

I find this game utterly frustrating. The choice of words are extremely poor. Todays game wouldnt accept "diary" but had the word "duchy" instead. It is impossible to get a perfect score. One game used ASCI as a word. Give me a break!

Got rid of features!

Unless I am totally missing something, they got rid of some features with the update. You can no longer play random games and there is not a high score list. If you want those features, do not update. The additions are relatively insignificant. The game itself is still fun, with a nice UI.

:(

Please bring back random games and make the words in alphabetical order.

Eh

The latest update makes buying this app pointless. The justification for paying was to get 500 random games to play, but the update took away random games and you can only play once a day, the same as the free app. Dont waste your money.

Features brought back

Love this game. I hated that one of the updates removed random games. Thank you for bringing random games back. Great game.

New addition

It would be great to have this app capable of displaying/playing horizontal in addition to vertical (when rotating the screen, having the screen flip according to how the iPad is held). Adding a clock display that shows what time it is in your area and how long you have been playing a puzzle would be great as well. Im not a big fan of the dictionary that was used for these puzzles seeing how half these words are a little far fetch; but I can say, it does make them very challenging.

Fun and challenging

With the middle letter always required in building words, that makes this game more challenging than other similar games, it definitely makes me think harder. My one issue is that the random puzzle is anything but, youll get the same one or two puzzles over and over and over. Once youve gone through the back log of calendar date puzzles, not being able to play a random puzzle just kills the replay value of an otherwise good game. Fixing that bug would make this a 5 star game, in my opinion.

Addicted

My husband and I are now addicted to this game. Though I agree with some of the other reviewers that it is frustrating when you find a real word that is not in the solution, it is nice not having a lot of really obscure words clogging up the solution lists as happens in a lot of games.

Is it necessary?

Is it really necessary to have a crowd of people boo me when I only get 92% of the words right? Real confidence builder!

Has problems

I really enjoy the way this game is set up, etc. The biggest problem is that it does not recognize too many valid words, or gives the message "that is a valid word but not part of the solution". I am finding it more frustrating than fun. I have other, better word games that recognize all valid words. I will keep it for a while I guess, but seems just too limited in the words it recognizes.

Word storm

Do not buy this app. You can spell loads of words with the letters provided and they wont be accepted. Ridiculous. Only the words they identify are accepted as correct. Waste of money!

Great game!

I love this game! The only way I can see to improve it would be to add a feature to display the words in alphabetical order. This way you could find the words you have already used easier. This would be especially helpful if you find some words, leave, then come back later to find more.

A very fun game

A fascinating game.A glitch in the game is that it does not accept all words. It only accepts the words the creator cf the game chooses to accept for a particular game.This sometimes is frustrating.Also,agree that words should be alphabetized to help in solving a game. Otherwise,a really enjoyable game.

Only 1 issue

If they update to put the words made in alphabetical order (as MANY other reviews have also suggested) I would give five stars. Very good game, but having to peruse the entire block of made words to find one you want to see if you did already is a major Pain in the behind. Really, aside from that, it a great word game. I do seem to make a lot of words that get me the message that they are valid, but not part of the solution- but that is only annoying when I am stuck at 75% and really want those to count! :-)

Tragic Flaw

This game is limiting since it preselects the answers. I just hate the message, valid word but not one of the answers.

Needs to sync

This is a great game. The only downside I see is that it doesnt sync across devices. It would be great if I could start a game at home on my iPad, and then continue the same game on my iPhone while on the go. Any plan to make that happen?

In agreement with others

Words should be in alphabetized and defined by length. When that happens I WILL give it a 6 stars.

Would not purchase again

The game doesnt recognize all words, even common ones. Sound settings overwrite hardware mute settings, which is not good.

Annoying

The developer of this game uses words not found in a US dictionary and ignores 100s of words that are used in everyday conversation. Makes for an extremely frustrating game. Would not recommend.
