### 1/5 — Xmas

*2024-12-28, version 1.0.6*

When I try to play the alphabet keyboard overrides the puzzle. Plus it oversized.

### 1/5 — N

*2022-03-03*

F***

### 1/5 — Clear as mud

*2022-02-17*

Anyone else tried this out and never at any point had a scooby what the actual aim is? Absolutely nothing in terms of even a settings option never mind a mention of how the game even works. 

Can anyone help me out here? Tia

### 1/5 — H

*2022-02-07*

H,,skas

### 2/5 — Too many ads and incorrect highlighting

*2022-03-24*

Ads seem pretty intrusive – in at least two cases it played an ad before you could even start a game which seems ridiculous. The highlighting is something that somebody else pointed out, but it’s really misleading. In my case it was a four letter word and I had [blank] I [blank] H. So I tried HIGH and it highlighted the first H in yellow which means that it’s valid but in the wrong spot, but there are no words ending in IHH. So in that situation the first H should’ve been grayed out. 

Another highlighting issue has to do with the incorrect letters. On the grid, they are light gray and the blank rows are white; however, on the keyboard they reverse it so that the incorrect letters are white and the unplayed letters are gray. Which is unnecessarily confusing. 

Anyway, I’m going to be deleting it now.

### 3/5 — A bit confusing

*2022-02-25*

Pretty straight forward, however I do notice when I create a word, some of the letter do get highlighted & I guess they’re secret /bonus words you’re supposed to guess, which it doesn’t explain in the game, should definitely give some hints maybe

### 3/5 — Image too large — won’t reduce to fit on screen

*2022-02-10*

I’d really like this app if I could figure out how to reduce the image to fit on my (12.9”) iPad. The way it appears, the grid of letter boxes fits but the keyboard only shows the top 2 rows. Usually pinching works to reduce an image, but not in this app!

### 4/5 — Same letter

*2022-02-17*

Would like to see the use of a same letter blacked out instead of yellow if it is not needed in the final word to win.

### 4/5 — Yy

### 5/5 — Letter game

*2022-02-15, version 1.0.4*

Good game

### 5/5 — 3 daily puzzles!

*2022-02-03*

The three daily puzzles are my favorite. Each puzzle with a different letter length makes the daily challenge fun! I am addicted

### 5/5 — Lots of Options

*2022-02-02*

I love that I have the one a day option to compete with or unlimited just to practice. Also different word lengths are challenging
