If you liked Wordstorm, you'll love this

Simple, engaging game. Just wish the menu was on the bottom like Wordstorm. And maybe a timer option. Great game and well worth the money.

Keeps my brain & mind active

I have the Wordstorm game by the same person and wanted to try this one. I love it! The crossword type layout gives you clues at to what other words you can make from the letters

VERY FRUSTRATING GAME

Love WordStorm, but not this one.
Not a relaxing experience.
Not recommended.

Love it. Maybe add dark theme please?

Developers only reply to people they know.

00,04/ Weds 24 Feb 21/ Bewilderword is a favourite and we compete when able, although with migraines (me) and cluster headaches (friend) thereโ€™s times when one or both of us canโ€™t look at the screen. / ๐ŸŒท Sean, could you consider a dark theme option please on opening page & calendar views? Maybe slate grey? It would be the cherry ๐Ÿ’ on the ice cream. kind regards.

Bug issues (or user stupidity!)

Iโ€™ve run the game once, played for 30 minutes, shut it down. Now when it loads I can only purchase the back catalog of puzzles for $5.99, no other button responds. Iโ€™m sorry but one brief play is not enough to justify turning $6 of a fixed income to the developer.
