  • It’s very good

    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

  • Half & Half

    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! 🙄

  • Rush mode

    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)

  • Repetitive

    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.

  • Love the game, but…

    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.

  • Great for strategy fans

    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.
