Can't get the letters in boxes, don't "snap" in
I know the answer to the first one is green but I cannot put the letters in the boxes and have it except each letter. I don't see a way to go continue in the game if the letters don't snap into the boxes. iPhone 6. Tried website no support, not sure how to get help.

My students loved this app right from the start. They really liked thinking of the connection between word cards. It was also having the spelling practice.
Great app for word association and critical thinking!
This app is definitely for spelling practice and critical thinking. The word association is fun and can be challenging. The child earns stars and can buy digital cards with stars, however this feature is not explained very well.
Happi Words a Happy Experience
This app allows learners to explore word assoication by presenting photos that players must determine what they have in common. The learner can then select letters to spell out the common word. The app appeals to players because of its game style with reward cards for completing an activity. It includes hints such as category and part of speech. The animation is colorful and applealing.

Colorful, Educational, Fun!!
My 2nd grade students didn’t want to put this one down! They loved the challenge of trying to guess the answer and spell the words without using the clues. They also loved getting a reward with every answer. This one really holds their attention! So much fun!!
Categorization Fun
A fun and challenging app for kids. Students must decide how three pictures are related. It promotes thinking beyond common categories of food, animals etc. Instead students identify things that re hot or things that fly. Even my language delayed students found it to be fun. The different level of hints were helpful. The card reward system was not clear. Otherwise a great way to build understanding and analyze similarities.

Great Critical Thinking App
Progressively gets more difficult as children solve. Children enjoy the challenge. Great for ages 7-10, but I'll use it for my gifted 5 & 6 year olds. Love the added feature of having several users.
Fun new way to work on spelling.
Cute new way to work on spelling and mixing in other concepts. Really neat for students to work on language concepts (categorization) while spelling words. I enjoyed the cards that were available for purchase with the stars that the students earned. I would love to have the ability to choose words for the students to spell or arrange them by difficulty, so the early spellers would only get easy words.

Fun app
This app covers word associations (categories) and spelling. It allows the child to work for collectable electronic cards as a motivator. Good for vocabulary skills.
Word Association Fun
Happi Words is a fun way to learn word associations and increase a child's vocabulary. This game allows the student to earn rewards (although the cards are not associated with the activities and seem to be a little abstract for students who would need to use this type of activity to increase word association knowledge). The stars they earn along the way will help your child buy the more expensive cards. There are wonderful hints the child can use but beware; the hints will cost some stars. This is a great way to encourage your child to think through the problem before trying to use the hints and use up those valuable stars.

Fun Word Work
This was a fun app to work on finding out word associations with the pictures on the screen. I liked being able to see how the words were related based on the type of word, which would be for more advanced younger students. I didn’t see how the card selection worked as you moved through the game, but the test of the app was nice.

great word game for kids
I love working on spelling with kids in this great problem solving game. Cute graphics. Great for vocabulary deveopment.
Fun & Challenging
This app can be fun and challenging for children. Having the students guess the relationship between the pictures is part of the challenge and then knowing how to spell the word. The purchasing of "cards" with earned stars seems pointless and not very interesting.
Definitely Recommended
Great app with a creative way of teaching abstract concepts, such as word associations. Also mixing the associations with a little spelling and card collecting gives a lot of added value. Not to mention that it has loads of content, nice graphics and a great hint system.
Wonderful word association game
Each problem has three pictures and the child tries to figure out and spell the word that describes them all. We think that it is nice that there is no penalty for needing more time to solve the problems. It is also not possible to get stuck as there are several ways to ask for help and there are just a few letters to choose from. As a reward kids can collect cards so there is an incentive to try to solve each problem without help. The less help you need the more stars you get. We were also very happy to notice that the app has the ability to add user profiles so that several kids can share the same device.

The content is sufficient. I could see using it as a supplement activity to the science curriculum. It would be even more appealing I'd there were more interactive activities. I thought the graphics were cute and would appeal to the age group it targets. I could also see using it with students with modified curriculums in higher level grades. I am just being introduced to next generation science standards and wonder if the units are aligned to match them.

I like the concept
There needs to be a series of tasks for the child to complete. It's just too slow moving for my students. Too many bells and whistles and not enough content. So with the limited space I have on my iPad, I will be deleting this app, sorry. It could be a good app.
Great for Grade 2 and up
This app is a great way to work on spelling and how 3 items are the same. The prompts are a great way to provide a little bit of help if it is necesary.
Great to promote thinking
This app is good to promote thinking in children. I have a pre-k student and a first grader who play and both have fun identifying the common modifier.
On my iPhone, it is sometimes difficult to drop the letters in the correct places. To me, the drop zone is too small and not really centered on the square.

Cute way to practice
Increasing in difficulty, this app allows students to using critical thinking skills to decide the common factor between 3 objects. It also gives hints as to whether the word is a noun, verb or adjective. There are specific letters chosen and a designated number of spaces to spell the word, so sometimes it takes a minute to figure out what word matches. I also like the cards you collect as you earn points. It creates an encentive to earn more and allows kids to save up for something else if they want.
