This is sudoku with words — keeps the player mentally sharp by analyzing a 3 or 4 or 5 letter group to determine how it can fit into a larger word. Fun to play with school age kids. It shows them prefixes, suffixes, etc and how they fit with the root word. Congratulations on an excellent app. ### 5/5 — Excellent puzzle *2018-01-19* I love this, gets the grey matter working.

A challenge to get the grey cells working first thing in the morning is good and between both games I'm enjoying my morning cuppa and challenge thoroughly. I look forward to your next challenge.😀 ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2018-07-06, version 2.0* Love the game and the challenge of beating your best times.

Great fun and relearning to spell. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
