User reviews

Ruined by bots

Used to be when you initiated a new game you’d be playing against a real person. Now it seems Letterpress uses player bots so you’re playing against a machine

Best game

Of all games and all my years of playing (yes, I am old!), I always come back to Letter press. It is my absolute favorite game. It uses my brain, it's challenging yet relaxing and players are kind and respectful.

Faulty System

Playing against a bot works fine... except it's generally unfair because of their unlimited knowledge in vocab. Therefore, you'd have to play with real people to enjoy. However, when you try to play 1v1 with another person, the system does not start a "new" game. Ads pop up and distrupt play time as well, making it difficult to keep other players engaged as many don't want to wait long periods of time for their opponent to respond.

The advertising is too much!

Neat

It’s pretty cool, you can talk with people also. I’ve been playing it for a lot of years. You can also see the definitions of whatever you make a word of.
