Fun nice little time waster

### 4/5 — Simple, yet fun.

*2016-11-15, version 1.41*

I really like this game. Although, I had about 5 words that I know I spelled correctly and still lost. Every time that happened, unlike every other time, the "correct" word wasn't visible when you go back to the start screen. Also, an option to have all the sound off except a warning timer would be great.

### 4/5 — A Great Game

*2016-11-07, version 1.41*

Maybe 20 seconds is too short to guess but the game is very well. You need quick fingers and good vocabulary.

### 4/5 — Leaderboard confusing

*2016-10-27, version 1.2*

Such a fun and addictive game!
A bit confused about the leaderboard rankings. Got to 7th with 80.7 with a score of approximately 80700, then scored 250000 and didn't move up on the leaderboard. Can you help me understand?

### 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.

### 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!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-02-17, version 1.5*

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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2016-10-17, version 1.2*

The main problem with this game is that the given letters can spell more than one word sometimes, and it seems like it's set up to only accept one answer. According to the game, "prams," "hacks," and several other words I can't remember anymore aren't words. FRUSTRATING when you only have 20 seconds to guess the correct word. Once, the given letters spelled several words, so I entered 3 or 4 different words before my time ran out. ALL of them were real words you can find in the dictionary. Grr.

### 3/5 — Fun but fatal flaw

*2016-12-02, version 1.5*

One of the better word games but the words aren't vetted carefully. It is frustrating to provide a correct answer like "drapes" or "spared" only to lose because the game wanted "spread." The game should either only use words with one solution ala jumble or accept any correct answer.

### 3/5 — Kelime kısırlığı

*2016-10-04, version 1.1*

Aynı harflerden oluşan Türkçe de bikaç tane kelime olabiliyor ama oyun sadece bir tane sizin belirlediğinizi bulmamızı istiyor diğerlerini kabul etmiyor bu şekilde olunca da süre yetmiyor ve doğru kelimeyi bilemediğimizde sorulan sorunun doğru cevabını da gösterse güzel olur böylelikle oyun daha büyük anlam kazanmış olur bilmediğimiz kelimeleri de öğretmiş olur bu şekilde sadece zaman geçirmelik bi Oyun olmuş onu da 5 elden fazla oynayamıyorum   Öğretici olmaması sıkıcı yapıyor oyunu bana göre

### 3/5 — 20 seconds word game

*2016-10-03, version 1.1*

Enjoying it!

### 3/5 — Biraz zor

*2016-10-01, version 1.1*

Oyun güzel ama biraz zor

### 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 😄
