## What is Almost Anagrams?

How many words can you create using letters from the word "veterans"?   Would you believe it is possible to form over 150?  Test the extent of your vocabulary in Almost Anagrams!

Each game of Almost Anagrams will present you with a randomly selected word from its extensive database.  You then see how many words you can create using letters from that word.  Remember, this is ALMOST anagrams, so you do not have to use all of the letters in your new words.  At the end of the round, a summary of the words found as well as the words not found will be shown.  You may be surprised at just how many possible words there are!

Almost Anagrams features 2 modes of play:
1. An exciting timed mode - As the clock winds down from 60 seconds, form new words to add small chunks of time to the clock.  See how many words you can find before time runs out!
2. A casual untimed mode - Take all the time you want and find words at your leisure.  When you decide you are finished, tap "MENU", then "Quit To Summary" to see how many of the possibilities you found.

More amazing features!
* New "Hint Mode" available during untimed play.  When activated it will:
    * Reveal the letter count in an available word.
    * Allow you to reveal consonants one-by-one.
    * Allow you to reveal vowels one-by-one.

### 1/5 — Rubbish,

*2024-04-18, version 2.8*

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.

### 5/5 — Dennis S

*2024-04-13*

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!

### 4/5 — Simple and fun

*2023-07-02, version 2.8*

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

### 3/5 — Exclusions and inclusions don’t make sense

*2022-03-31*

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”.

### 4/5 — words..

*2021-12-21*

I like the word game, it keeps you thinking and you can be surprised by how many words come to mind!

### 5/5 — Well……

*2021-12-08*

5 stars is the only way to get my comment in. 
If i could find all those worlds in the dictionary, I will love it.

### 3/5 — Good game, but…

*2021-06-08*

I don’t understand why perfectly innocent words, like certain body parts, are not acceptable, but a pejorative like “yid” is.

Otherwise, fun game.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2020-11-08*

Fun. I’d like to see a scoring system so I can challenge myself to beat past scores. I’d also like to see more than one shuffle option.

### 5/5 — No Hype

*2020-08-06*

Nice, basic anagrams game without the obnoxious hype you have to endure with most game apps. 

Please consider displaying the percentage of words found in addition to the number of words. This way we could know if we are improving without taking time to do the math between rounds.

### 5/5 — So Much Fun

*2020-06-25*

If you love working with words. This is your game. Excellent.
