Overall, I've enjoyed the board game and the levels each with a unique agenda ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-01-16, version 2.1.1* It's a word game! ### 3/5 — Fun but lacking *2016-07-20, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun *2016-07-16, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 4/5 — Good game *2016-06-06, version 2.1.1* I'm enjoying this. ### 5/5 — Great brain exercise *2016-05-31, version 2.1.1* Nice Game with great design. ### 5/5 — Good challenge *2016-05-16, version 2.1.1* Very interesting app ### 3/5 — Review *2016-04-28, version 2.1.1* Fun but need to update!!! ### 5/5 — Addictively challenging *2016-04-18, version 2.1.1* I'm a word puzzle geek - I love doing Sunday NYTimes crosswords. I love Boggle (the 5x5 board - not the skimpy 4x4 version). I don't get caught up in just any old word puzzle, though. To grab and keep my attention, it has to have fairly simple rules, a clean design, and above all has to be challenging. Lettercraft hits that trifecta, and then some. Pros: totally, completely, maddeningly addictive. The design is clean, colorful, and intuitive. Each level has a different, but simple, rule to follow. You can choose from multiple difficulty options. And the pressure created by unused tiles "heating" up and eventually disappearing is maddening and brilliant all at the same time. It's awesome that you have unlimited "lives," so you can keep trying a level over and over and over again until you get better and pass it. I've made it through all 200 existing levels, am thoroughly addicted, and am going through withdrawal waiting for more levels! (Are they coming soon?? Please??) Cons: multiplayer requires Bluetooth, which is really limiting. Serious bummer. I'd love to see a better multiplayer option - via Game Center, perhaps? Another negative is that the game can only be played with your phone/device in vertical position. A minor quibble, for sure, but it would be nice to have the option of playing with your phone in horizontal position. ### 4/5 — Starts fun, loses appeal *2016-03-21, version 2.1.1* I play word games to relax and pass the time. This game starts out fun but quickly becomes anything but relaxing- the colour changes of letters and shaking is annoying and severely distracting when you're trying to locate words. I've noticed that I can quickly locate long words when the match starts but the constant colour changes quickly make the screen an unreadable mess. Wish it could get an update that offers some alternative signal about the letter countdown, until then I've stopped playing. ### 5/5 — Great app - very addictive *2016-02-29, version 2.1.1* No issues and love this game. To the previous reviewer who has an issue with proper nouns being included such as "America" - it's not a vocabulary word. We don't expect any names to be acceptable in a word puzzle. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor Vocabulary, Unclear on Rules *2016-11-02, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Does not understand the English language *2016-09-07, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 2/5 — No landscape mode… *2022-12-27, version 2.1.1* This game would be better if it allowed landscape mode. Otherwise it’s ok. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Could be a good game *2016-07-14, version 2.1.1* It could be addictive, if you knew what you were trying to achieve. Making words, ok. But am I trying to break a goal? All I see is a lot of numbers at the end. It just is not intuitive beyond just making words. And what are the different types of play about. No instructions. ### 2/5 — Stressful *2016-06-28, version 2.1.1* No fun. Awkward and pressured. Deleted after three minutes. ### 2/5 — Starts out fun *2016-03-05, version 2.1.1* Until you spell a legit word, like "cake" and it says that word is not available on this level. Seriously? A kindergarten word not accepted in level one Easy mode??! Not worth it. Bye. ### 2/5 — More like a free preview than a free game *2015-04-01, version 1.0* Only the first 5 levels are free. The game concept was fun, although tapping letters quickly is rough on the fingertips! I'd love to see additional free levels, perhaps an ad supported version or a daily free level would do more to keep up interest in the game. As it stands, I deleted the app once I finished the free boards and don't imagine I'll download it again unless there's a featured update on the App Store with big changes. I'm afraid this word game with a lot of potential (a rare find lately) might get lost in the abyss of abandoned apps with this "fake free" approach. ### 2/5 — Nice game but... *2015-04-01, version 1.0* ...you have to pay to unlock the other levels of the game. You get to play 5 levels for free then there's various packages that you can choose to pay for from $0.99-$2.99. I'd rather you just charge the fee for the game and not allow one to play a few levels for free then ask for the money. Better yet, provide a free trial for a few days and then to unlock, you'll need to pay. The game is solid. You choose letters to spell words based upon the scenario ie only 5 letter words, only words with letter b, four letter words, etc. ### 3/5 — <50> *2022-02-24, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Need more levels *2017-07-23, version 2.1.1* 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? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Make more levels! *2022-08-10, version 2.1.1* 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! ### 5/5 — Absurdly fun word nerd game *2021-05-11, version 2.1.1* 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? 😍🥰😍🥰😍 ### 5/5 — One of My Favorites! *2020-05-25, version 2.1.1* 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!! ### 5/5 — Good but bad too *2019-12-20, version 2.1.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Challenging game *2019-06-02, version 2.1.1* It remains fun & challenging even though I’ve been playing it a long time. ### 5/5 — Love. More Please *2019-04-24, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Lettercraft rules *2017-09-18, version 2.1.1* Yet another awesome game Starbucks has recommended me to download. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-08-12, version 2.1.1* 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 :) ### 5/5 — Well made, but should include all English words *2016-10-04, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Challenging Fun *2016-07-25, version 2.1.1* If you like words, you'll enjoy this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
