Needs updating

I loved this game when it first came out. Not so much now. Once the developers lost Open Feint, the game got much less interesting. They said they would replace it but they never have. Also, the algorithm is made so that it is almost impossible to make long words and it is frustrating to have three and four letter words because of this. I so wish Inert Soap would pay attention to this game and bring back what made it fun.

Fantastic

Great mind challenge game. I enjoy figuring out new words for my vocabulary. With no time limit, I am able to stay calm and not worry about a stress causing time limit.

I wish I knew what dictionary this game is based on. Certain words are not in the dictionary that I thought were fairly common like OVA. I have a science background but some simple science words are missing.

Like it a lot

It does crash a bit. It seems to send me back to the beginning of the level when it does.

MAJOR upgrade!

I've loved the iPhone version of the game and played it since it came out. However, this iPad version puts it to shame!

The new look is MUCH better, and unlike half the games out there, it works no matter how I turn my iPad. Best of all, when I share my iPad with my family, we can each have our own game running on a separate board. So far, I prefer Infinite mode so I can plan my words very carefully, but there's even a game mode for my friend's four year old who is just learning to spell. The extra game modes cost an extra buck, but this game is already a fraction of the price of Scrabble, looks just as good, and I can play it by myself without waiting on friends to eventually take their turn.

I'm betting they'll raise the price once word gets out about this one, so I'd recommend getting it sooner rather than later.

Great game

Before the IOS8 glitch, this game worked beautifully and provided hours worth of entertainmentโ€” especially once the add-ons were purchased, at a very reasonable price. There is an assurance that the bug fix will prevent the game from freezing with IOS8 from the developer of this game, who is amazingly responsive to users. This is a highly recommended game for those who love word games.
