Needs work. Odd vocabulary.
Ruft and Lyam were among the words in this game. Looked these up - ancient German? Confusing. Why? Went back to the App Store. No indication this game will include ancient German vocab. Ruft could just as easily have been turf. But Lyam?
Has potential to be a fun learning tool, but the vocab and interface need work.
Game needs instructions. Also a finish now button or a time out. Without these and the extremely obscure vocabulary this becomes a guessing game and misses its potential.

Obsolete and nonsense words
The words used are so obsolete or just plain nonsense that you are guessing at 99% off the words.
Racial slur
I downloaded another app from this developer to practice my braille. I was appalled when one of the words was a racial slur against Latinx. I emailed the developer in case it was a mistake.
His reply: “People see what they want to see. I'm not responsible for a tiny fraction of the population that wants to see something that was never intended.
There is no issue to rectify. Since I use the same database of words in other apps I'd suggest you never download another app of mine just to be safe.”
Even if I was wrong (which I wasn’t and proceeded to show him through multiple definitions from from online dictionaries) this was not an appropriate response.
I would give a negative rating if I could. This is not acceptable.
