Good start

The app seems to follow the alphabetic rules but lacks the artistic flair seen in hand drawn solutions.

One one way to create

Only circular sentence structure with one word per circle. Now way to create a line or one circle sentences. A bit annoying and not worth $3 for such limited options. Probably better free apps.

Brilliant
