### 4/5 — Cool game

*2023-02-04, version 2.18*

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

### 5/5 — Üzerine basılı tutup yararlı değinki gözüksün

*2020-06-21, version 2.14*

Online bölümüde olmalı karşıdaki oyuncularla yarış şeklinde olursa dahada eğlenceli olur. Çünkü bizaman sonra insan sıkılıyor seni gaza getircek rekabete sokcak bişey kalmıyor. Bence online bölümü de olursa efsane bir oyun olur.🙋🏼‍♀️ 🙏🏼👌🏻 Buarada geri dönüş nezaketinde bulunduğunuz için teşekkür ederim ☺️ O yüzden yıldızımı 5e çıkardım 😄

### 5/5 — Yararlıyı işaretleyin👍🏻👍🏻

*2020-05-25, version 2.14*

Harika hem de muhteşemmm👍🏻👍🏻

### 1/5 — Mola özelliği

*2020-05-10, version 2.14*

Merhabalar.

Oyunun süreli bir oyun olması, oyuncu oyununu oynarken (oyuncuyu hiçbir zarara uğratmadan) “oyunu beklemeye alma” özelliğini de sunmanızı gerektirmektedir. Yoksa oyuncu hayatı beklemeye almaktadır. Hele de çocuklar. Bu özellik eklenene kadar oyuna puanım 1/5’tir.

### 5/5 — 20 Seconds of Fun

*2019-01-30*

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!!

### 1/5 — Sınıf seçilmiyor!!

*2019-01-29, version 2.14*

Ben 5. sınıfım ve bize öğretmenimin öğretmediği kelimeler var hiç beğenmedim birkaç kere oynayıp sildim şuan iPad’imde yüklü değil!!!

### 5/5 — Harika

*2019-01-24, version 2.14*

Oyunların PADİŞAHI:)

### 2/5 — Could be great but is not

*2018-08-26, version 2.12*

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.

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2017-08-05, version 1.6*

İyi

### 4/5 — Intense

*2017-07-27, version 1.6*

It keeps me on my toes all the time and I'm getting better with my vocab
