Addictive but too many legit words aren’t deemed valid
My wife and I do the daily gram together plus we have setup a game room for us to play short games against each other throughout the day.
I would give 5 stars but too often it doesn’t consider legitimate words to be valid (For the record, we use the ‘most words’ dictionary option). For instance, I just played a game where it said vitiate is not a word and I recall a previous game where allah was deemed invalid. Is it possible to use Webster’s Dictionary as a basis to determine the validity of a word?Show lessOmar Coming!!!

Glad you're enjoying the game! 'Allah' isn't accepted because it is not considered an English word, but rather a proper noun. If you want uncommonly used words like 'vitiate' to be accepted, you and your wife should play with the 'All Words' dictionary in your game room. That will accept any valid English word. Please let us know how it goes!Obscure words
These puzzles are great, but up to one third of the words are so obscure that perhaps 1% of the reading public has never heard of them. And annoyingly, some words are accepted in both American and British spellings.
If they want these puzzles to be engaging and fun, they should stick to words that people have actually heard and used.Show lessJ.n.o
Buggy?
Too often words played during the game are refused, only to be included in the valid word list the next day. What gives?TheRealGynomite
Daily puzzles arriving late
I like this app and find it to be a better value than the NYT Bee. It’s also harder and (at least for me) almost impossible to get to 100% of the words since it obviously uses an extended dictionary with many unusual/lesser known entries (for instance, “donjon”, “ejido”, ”jeon” are among the words that came up in a recent puzzle).
However, the one thing that bugs me is that next day’s puzzle and prior day’s answers take a really long time to arrive. It’s almost 9:00 pm Pacific time as I’m writing this, and the today’s puzzle still hasn’t shown up. Compare that to NYT Bee, which releases its new puzzle at 12:00 am PDT consistently.
I also haven’t yet figured out the “game rooms” feature, but it’s not a concern.
Ultimately, If you like these type of word games, you will get a lot of mileage with this one. The UI is clean and simple, it doesn’t take too much space or crash your phone. It doesn’t have any annoying extras or ads. My only ask from the dev is to release the daily puzzles/answers a bit sooner.Show less_vigil_

Thanks for the feedback! In investigating your issue, I realize that you caught a bug! The daily gram is released at 1AM UTC-4, which is 10PM Pacific time. So you are getting the new game the night before at 10PM, when everyone else gets it. However, because of the bug, it just says the wrong day. For people on the east coast, the new game will be labeled Friday June 12, but yours will say Thursday June 11. So we will fix this - but rest assured, you are getting the new game when everyone else does. I also highly advise you try creating a game room. Even if you just play in it alone, you can create unlimited games there of different sizes and with different dictionaries (common words, most words, all words). However, it is most fun if you have friends you can invite to the room and play competitively. In my opinion, its the most fun way to play! Feel free to email us at 5149.dev@gmail.com if you have any other thoughts or questions.Thanks for the fix of font size
Love this app. Had a problem with font size a few weeks ago from a flawed update, but developer provided a timely fix. I am changing my review from 1 star to 4 stars. (I will go to 5 stars when it works in landscape mode.)Jasper2743

Thank you for the feedback. We’ve been hearing that our iPad support isn’t up to par and are working on another fix. Thank you for your patience and I’ll update this when it’s fixed!Best word game!
This is my favourite game to play and it never gets old. The app works really smoothly and has a nice aesthetic. Super easy to play with friends but also a lot of fun on your own!lani_hk
Latest update ruined iPad use
Font size suddenly absurdly large. Can't use in landscape mode any longer & barely usable in portrait model. Please fix.
I got a swift response from the developer to my disappointment - who says a fix is in progress. Will update again when the fix is in. Thank you for listening.
May 20 -- Issue with size is still not fixed. Even in portrait mode, the letters are much too big on ipad. I find it frustrating to try to use this app.Show lessT123A456Z789

Easy-to-use app with artful graphics in a soothing, eye-pleasing color scheme - and more importantly - FUN FUN FUN!!
Playing with friends is great!! The short, spontaneous games keep things fresh and exciting, and I love challenging a group of friends throughout the day. I’m terrible at it, but it’s so entertaining that I don’t mind losing all the time.
Thank you for making this game - I’ve been recommending it to everyone!!Show lessmmt2133
LOVE THIS GAME!!
I play all the time with friends. So much fun!!!!!!L515!!!
Cannot play game in landscape mode with last update
I play this game in landscape mode on my iPad. The recent update causes the Delete button and Submit button to hide under the Words/Play/Scores panel, thus I cannot play while in landscape. It has functional spacing in Portrait, but just barely. Very frustrating. Suspect that the UI change for small screens is the problem.
Will remain 1-star. Is your fix to this issue is to not allow landscape mode play at all? Not satisfactory. Also recommend that player’s word list be visible on Play page rather than having to switch to another page.Show lessPTprof
