Cool game
The game is cool the only thing that I don’t like is when you try to find out the word that you misspelled it doesn’t give you the correct answer that would be a nice bonus to actually see what the word was that you misspelled
20 Seconds of Fun
Great game that every word game lover will enjoy! Anagram lovers will rejoice over this one. Easy to play, nice mechanics and a leaderboard to keep you challenged. Excellent!!
Could be great but is not
As noted by others this could easily be a great game since the idea and mechanics behind it are really good.
But the major problems which make this utterly useless have still not been addressed. Namely:
1) the biggest problem is the dictionary it's using. When you only have 20 seconds to un-jumble a word, it becomes a joke to arbitrarily disallow a bunch of perfectly acceptable possibilities.
You can fix this easily in a number of ways. For example: A) allow all acceptable words from a dictionary of your choice. Or B) if the word entered can be found in the dictionary but is not the one you want us to find, simply re-set the 20 second timer and make the game be about hunting down your specific word.
2) another problem is with the interface. After you solve one word, the clock immediately starts counting down the next 20 seconds BUT you have to wait a good 2 seconds before entering your guess. Otherwise you get all kinds of problems with your 1st letter not registering or getting double selected. By the time you've cleared and restarted you've already lost 4 or 5 seconds which is a quarter of your allotted time. This makes the 6-letter word option utterly unplayable.
3) the repetitive use of the same words gets to be quite annoying. You get past a run of say, 100 words and you're pretty much just tapping the same 100 words. That's not a game, that's a waste of time. Occasional repetition is acceptable but when 8 out of 10 puzzles are ones that you've just solved, that's a design flaw.

Intense
It keeps me on my toes all the time and I'm getting better with my vocab
Fun
It's harder than you think at times with the clock but fun,
Fast and fun

Fun.
Fun nice little time waster
Disappointed
It is frustrating when you put in a correct word but it is rejected because it prefers another. For example instead of pears it only takes spare.
I am also very disappointed with the selection and frequency of words such has lynch and slave. I find it VERY offensive.

Great game if you have a few minutes and want to quickly play a game to pass the time.
