### 3/5 — Not bad

*2013-07-22, version 1.3*

Good little time waster

### 3/5 — Fun but...

*2013-05-31, version 1.1*

I'm only at lvl 10 (and was asked to rate 5 stars for 250 coins), so thus far it's REALLY easy.  I'm hoping it is going to get more challenging!!  Right now, a 6 year old could play this...it does have the potential to be a good word game, though.  I'll update this later on when I can give a more accurate rating, but for now I may need those coins just in case it gets to be hard to figure out the linking word.  :)

Update:  At level 61 and still quite easy.  It's really unfortunate, because the potential is there for more challenging levels.  I have only had troubles with two, and the first one had nothing (that I could see) to do w/ any of the given words.  Could only give 3 stars due to the lack of progression of difficulty. I do think the person who made this is British b/c of some of the words/answers, if that helps anyone.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2013-05-23, version 1.01*

It's moderately fun. The problem is that it is too easy.  Also, the creator seems to be possibly British based on some of the word selections.
