### 5/5 — My all time favourite

*2026-08-09, version 5.7.9*

Love Letterpress. Keeps me entertained, my mind active and teaches me new words.Enjoy the chat, especially learning about the life of someone else and also what they or I think of a particular move. Well done. I’ve played for years now and just love it.

### 5/5 — Is It Perfection Though?

*2026-08-05, version 5.7.9*

I’ve played this game since paying $4.99 initial download price. I’ve loved playing the game and learn so many new words it’s hard to remember them all. 
The concept and layout is perfect and it doesn’t have as high of a brain drain as WFF in my opinion. Something fun to pick up and see your color dominate the board.

I think Solobon should have a top 10 letterpress change forum or voting system to see what are the most requested features and share that on their website.  Then implement that change to the app.  I think that would encourage some newer players to stick around and legacy players something new to see.  My top pick would be new theme color schemes!!

### 5/5 — Fibre

*2026-07-26, version 5.7.9*

A brain tickler at its finest tickle nearly a sexy one.

### 1/5 — Ruined by bots

*2026-07-03, version 5.7.9*

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

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-06-19, version 5.7.9*

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.

### 2/5 — Faulty System

*2026-06-08, version 5.7.9*

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.

### 3/5 — Advertising

*2026-04-28, version 5.7.9*

The advertising is too much!

### 5/5 — Neat

*2026-04-21, version 5.7.9*

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.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-04-17, version 5.7.9*

This could be a decent game if they cleaned it up and made some minor changes. First, it CONSTANTLY gets stuck between turns. The only way to continue is to reboot the app. Second, the bot players make up words, like vav, bx, and other nonsense. It played the word “zanja” once, which I looked up and learned is a Spanish word for “ditch,” most commonly used in South and Latin America. That would be fine, if we could all use uncommon words in other languages. Third, I don’t understand why you can’t change color themes or reshuffle the letters! It’s annoying when I’m struggling for a word, and I just want to rearrange the letters, but can’t. And looking at the same board all the time makes the game feel static. It’s still somewhat addictive, but if it keeps crashing, cheating and having the same boring look, I see it getting old, FAST.

### 4/5 — GREAT Game

*2026-04-05, version 5.7.9*

But WAY too many words are able to be played that aren’t in the dictionary. Latest example, “Brotherings”
