Inappropriate Words

Klansman? Really? Really. Canceled my subscription and deleted the app.

Great w/ one flaw

This a great game that’s fun and challenging. One flaw: they very often repeat long words that make it too easy to figure out once you recognize the telltale letters. Spoils the challenge.
