  • Programing

    Great game, but the programming is simplistic. Would be great to have feedback from the game. Every hand seems to be a junk hand. All vowels or none. All xkjz. Doesn’t seem random, so less about skill than luck. Discouraging for new players.
    Also, not sure what dictionary they have used. Accepts some words that are capitalized and rejects others that are in common use, leaving one to experiment, because, “hey, who knows”...

  • My favorite word game

    I love this game, it can move quickly when playing a live player. Also no lag playing the computer. I love how it’s so streamlined without animation or silly promotional gimmicks. A dictionary in the game would be great though.

    I do question the honesty of level 3 computer play. It seems like the computer wins by giving a really bad mix of letters to the live player and good ones to itself! I do always have an automated game going with my live ones, I wish they added it to the next play cue at the end of the internet challengers.

    Pay the $3.99 for ad free lifetime play, you can listen to music uninterrupted while playing.

  • Really fun word game!

    I like it because there is really no way to cheat at this game except using a dictionary. Not sure how they validate their qualifying words, though. I wish they would update the app to win letters or make moves. They have an online version but never play on a computer anymore so I have no idea what options are available. Everyone plays on their phone these days so need adapt the game to reflect what the players want. Otherwise, I have been playing for years and will continue to do so!

  • Wish I could give it five stars

    The ads are ridiculous. I understand that you get pop up ads with the freebie apps, but this is OVERKILL. This is my favorite game and we have the board game to play with friends when they come over. Some of the words on this app are not actually English words or spelled correctly. It’s almost like the game cheats, lol! However, I love word games and this does keep me occupied in a pinch. There’s room for improvement and the biggest issue with this would be the pop up ads. It crosses the line from ridiculous to downright insulting.

  • App not working correctly

    I have been looking for this game for quite some time now. I have been so excited since I found it that I've been telling everybody about it. However I'm somewhat sorry I did that because the game doesn't work that well. I have been trying to play with my Facebook friends. I have logged on to Facebook through the game. And still cannot find my friends. I have sent a message to you stating the same and have not heard anything back from you. Still disappointed but hopeful

  • Swap tiles

    You definitely get 5 stars from me if it was possible to swap all or some of your tiles when it’s your turn.
    You would lose your turn to lay down any, but it would make the game more interesting.
    Having to repeatedly pass on a turn because you have awful letters is very frustrating, definitely not fun!

  • Great game!

    Really fun to play. Moves can be made quickly. Lots of score drama. Great for all levels of ability. Love the glow! Makes plays quick and lively, love the stats and also love the chat! Totally worth buying the ads free and glow word.

    I play GrabbyWord too, it's a fun game with dramatic score variation but does not compare with UpwordsLite in the overall sheer joy of the game! Enjoy!!!

    By the way, do the UpwordsLite creators know how many people are playing the game online?
