Rubbish,

Thur 18 April 2024

Tried this but it’s rubbish.

I don’t know what type of dictionary they used but “knob” was met with;

“Word does not exist.”

Deleted. Don’t waste your time with this.

Finally! I found a game that has only one word and lets you make as many words as you can without limits or fuss. I would like to see the game have a back space button so I could clear a letter without clearing the entire letters I entered. I told my sister who downloaded the app and loves it! Thanks!

Simple and fun

Hard to find simple word games - this one is good!

Exclusions and inclusions don’t make sense

I wonder who developed this game. It doesn’t seem like it isReally based in the English language. The game excepts words like Raja and Rani (Asian Indian terms) and negroid but not negro.I’ve been counted a lot of words that it should have accepted and a lot of words that I am surprised were accepted.
ILike this game in concept. I used to play it on paper and thought itWould be convenient to play on my phone. I find it clunky and arbitrary. There’s no payoff when you find all the words or the longest word. It has no bells and whistle’s and no” kudos”.
