No landscape mode…
This game would be better if it allowed landscape mode. Otherwise it’s ok. Deleted.
Make more levels!
I finished all levels a long time ago and occasionally check back to see if you’ve added more. Sadly, no.I enjoyed this game immensely and I’m waiting for more!

Lettercraft is a great game. The goal I set for myself and have never achieved is 3 stars for every level. This becomes annoyingly difficult at level 50 give or take levels behind or in front. It’s not challenging or fun. It’s frustrating in a bad way.
Absurdly fun word nerd game
The levels are quick and just hard enough to be super fun.
Seems like the developer has moved on. No gripes here but I’m hoping they come back to make more games because I love the two on offer!
If, per chance, they were to spend some more time with LetterCraft, these are my tiny little UX dreams.
1. In Levels Mode: show your previous score/word count in the summary. This way you can play the same levels while adding a bit of new challenge.
2. In Levels Mode: when hitting the pause button, show the level’s requirements. My tiny brain forgets sometimes! Particularly when the requirements are a little dense like “Start with the letter L with at least 7 letters”
3. “Generate Levels” mode. Instead of requiring the developer to come back and create new levels, a “Generate levels” mode would do exactly that. If the generated level involved a specific letter, the game would know to add that letter to the center, etc.
4. Shuffle all letters feature with a point and/or time penalty?
And a few tiny, ignorable bugaboos:
1. Levels mode: seems like the time is a little shorter after hitting “Retry”. At least, the first color shift happens faster than if you END and start again.
2. Probably nothing to be done about this one but thinking out loud here… When you’re racing to use a few red letters and create a word with, say three yellow letters and three red letters and the color shift timer runs out before you submit the word, it’s pretty easy to get a word error that transitions your yellow letters automatically. Would be nice if there was some way for the game to know “that was a real word but you didn’t submit it on time so I’m not going to ding these other letters”. I know, crazy pants.
Sorry this was so long. Did I mention I love this game? 😍🥰😍🥰😍

Love the game
I love Lettercraft but after level 200, it has said “to be continued” for a couple of years now.
One of My Favorites!
I absolutely recommend this app! The word game is one of the best around! It alerts me to the times of day when my brain is at its peak. Playing in the evenings, I can tell that it’s harder to think of longer words. But I still play anytime so that I can challenge my brain!!
Good but bad too
It’s needs to give the person more time to get some letters because little kids play and I like it’s because it helps with spelling so it’s a good game but a little bad
Challenging game
It remains fun & challenging even though I’ve been playing it a long time.
Love. More Please
Love this game and continually play the 200 levels available over and over... would love some fun mixups and other ways to play or more levels. Well designed and fun app for all word puzzle people.
Lettercraft rules
Yet another awesome game Starbucks has recommended me to download. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great game
I love this game! It's a challenge, quick and really makes you think. A good game to just pass the time and even enjoy with friends :)
Need more levels
I would give is game a 5 star rating, but I ran out of levels. It's taken me over a year to get to level 200 ( I don't play everyday or even every week), but now what? I guess I'm done with this app?
Enjoyable
I've had shocks with what words are and are not included however, I've allowed it to become part of the challenge. Overall, I've enjoyed the board game and the levels each with a unique agenda
Fun
It's a word game!
Poor Vocabulary, Unclear on Rules
At first the game is relaxing and simple, but I'm not sure how the team selects words for their dictionary. The app does not tell you upfront which words are not counted, such as proper names of cities or the like. The app also doesn't recognize many words used today or different variations of spellings. For example, it corrects bleu - as in "bleu cheese" - to blue. Although the first spelling is technically French, it's the correct way to refer to bleu cheese. I guess what I'm saying is there isn't much leeway when it comes to vernacular.

Well made, but should include all English words
Though some of the other reviews on this app have made me cringe, such as people not reading the level description and then leaving a bad review, or getting personally offended (and, apparently, having mental breakdowns) over the lack of inclusion of "America" and "Christmas". The fact of the matter is that though there is likely no political agenda whatsoever behind which words don't work, some English words just... don't work.
I'm an app developer myself, and this issue is just... silly. A quick Google search shows there's an APK called Lexicontext you could use to fix the dictionary, or there's a workaround to access the phone's dictionary. User input could be checked against the phone's dictionary in one quick conditional statement. This is an easy fix.
Anyway, five stars for your otherwise clean programming, good design, and because some of your other poor reviews were undeserved. The dictionary issue would take maybe half an hour to fix and would resolve the vast majority of complaints about your app. I would highly recommend you push out an update.

Does not understand the English language
This is perhaps a good concept but a terrible execution.
A very simple four or five letter word can be understood but the higher-level word such as, say, Eucharist was denied as not a word.
Perhaps the programmer should've used an English dictionary in developing this app.

Challenging Fun
If you like words, you'll enjoy this game.
Fun but lacking
I love the game but it is a toss up what words the designers included and which they do not. It is very lacking in vocabulary.
It tells that your words do not exist but I'm pretty sure America, belligerent and several others are.

Challenging and Fun
This is a great game that's challenging enough to keep you engaged -- but not so challenging you're frustrated. I play all the time and love it.
