It’s good me and my mom play it together and we have fun except I think names should count cause I keep forgetting that you can’t do names but good overall. And a lot of people say this is a word and it doesn’t say it’s a word but you can’t do names or countries or states or cities so you should know that
This game can be rather fun for nerdy word sleuths like myself, but the word choice/dictionary options can be incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I’ll just *try* something if I’m desperate for a move & am shocked that it worked — but the most *annoying* thing is (at least in the puzzle version) that there will be times when say a six-letter word will be denied for being “too short” but then a random three-letter word will work (& even if you can extend that three-letter word to something longer, that will be denied)!!! I just don’t understand the logic in that at all, & adding to the grumpypants frustration is the fact that there’s no explanation or “rule book” to explain why that is the case. Writing this review is the only option I have! 🙄
I always play Rush mode because it’s quicker and more fun in my opinion. My issue with it, however, is how difficult it becomes after you get past a score of ~7,000. Asking me to create a 6 letter word including the letter Z, Q, J, or X is insane, especially when I’m having to rely more so on getting lucky with the letters I’m given rather than actual strategy. Creating a 6 letter word is already hard enough, but trying to include the less commonly used letters makes it impossible 95% of the time. I also usually end up losing because one of the columns on the sides keeps stacking up throughout the game as I can’t find any words to make out of the letters and delete the tiles. It’s not my fault if you give me four E’s on top of each other and I have nothing to work with. The letter algorithm needs to be better. Otherwise, I enjoy this game and have a high score of 29,000 on Rush mode (which I will probably not beat any time soon because of how lucky I’d have to get)
I love this game. It's the only thing I play. I resent the fact I'm now paying $7 a month for it. There should be an option to just buy that game. I often make it in the top 250 but can't find anywhere the number of players. So of I score 177 how many people is that out of? That's an important & obvious question. Also I'm tired of the same letters being highlighted every day! Q & Z. We get it, they're harder letters to use. But it seems like every day those are the letters highlighted. Also there should be some options to add a letter or something. And it doesn't recognize alot of words like places, names or common Spanish words. Even if I challenge ot will say this isn't a word. They need to expand that.
First, if you love words, you should give this a try. It’s challenging and addictive, especially if you just want to unwind after a long, crazy day. I recommend it to everyone. With that said, the ability to challenge whether or not a word is real is frustrating. I found tendre during a game, and while an online dictionary admits it is archaic, it is in fact a real word that still gets some use in historical fiction. This game doesn’t recognize the word, and leaves me wondering if I’ll run into other words like this as I go along. It also seems to accept some proper nouns but not others. All-in-all though, still a fun game.
I love word games like crossword puzzles and rearranging letters to create words. This one’s a bit unique in that there’s a heavy dose of strategy involved for “search” and “tower” modes. I find myself taking a long time to think through each move, almost like I’m playing chess. Unfortunately I don’t have the patience for that kind of methodical, slow-moving strategy, so it’s not a perfect match for me. It doesn’t help that I sometimes have trouble selecting the right letters, especially diagonally. Although I am liking “puzzle” mode and overall I appreciate the concept, with the bite-sized games. I also like the nice, clean design.
