### 5/5 — Love  it

Nice puzzle, helps you come down from a busy day. Try it you will love it. MC

### 5/5 — Major addiction

*2023-04-05, version 1.14*

Good day chaps I’ve reached the point that I’m not going to ever stop playing this game. I’m over 610,000 points with a max game of 400 pts. Average game of 350 pts. I’ve been playing for over two years and see no end to it my goal is to go over 450 points per game max letter count is 7 I love it.

### 5/5 — 100 words

*2023-03-09, version 1.14*

Nice quick game.    I would love it if we could keep going beyond 100 words to see if we can double, triple, or even quadruple our words found.

### 4/5 — Great Brain Workout

*2022-10-29, version 1.14*

This game can be as challenging as you choose to make it by using only higher scoring words. My one suggestion is that words found containing more than seven letters be counted, perhaps as bonus points, rather than be unusable.

### 4/5 — Review fun

*2022-08-09, version 1.14*

Helps with using your brain. This is a good game for any age from children learning to spell to adults remembering words.

### 5/5 — Spell 100, daily

*2022-06-13, version 1.14*

This app is hard to find, but I sure love “spell 100,” and use it at least once a day to exercise the old noggin. 

7x7 grid of letters that you spell words using adjacent letters. So far I haven’t failed yet
