### 4/5 — Not a bad version

*2018-05-18*

This is a good version of the game.  It would be nice to be able to change the background color though.  That orange is a little much!

### 5/5 — One of my favorites

*2011-08-20*

A great electronic implementation of a word game I used to play as a kid.

Feature request: It would be nice to be able to mark letters as not being available in certain positions.

### 5/5 — Super addicting!

*2011-05-05*

It's a really simple but hugely addicting game. It's great for when you need to kill a few minutes or if you're bored you can play this easily over and over again. Download it!

### 5/5 — One of the best word puzzle games on my phone

*2011-05-04*

I love this game. It really is probably my favorite game on my phone. It's one of those games where you start playing and then don't want to stop until you figure it out.  I'm completely addicted.  I can't believe it's only 99 cents... what a deal.

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2011-04-29*

I love this game! Great fun and a good challenge.
