My all time favourite

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.

Is It Perfection Though?

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!!

Fibre

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

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.

Advertising

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.

Meh

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.

GREAT Game

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

So so

Surprisingly buggy for a game that costs that much

Great word game

Minimalistic and fun to play. The game favors the starting player heavily but you get to start about half of the games so it’s okay. After Scrabble was sold to a game company that completely ruined it with power ups and other nonsense this is the best mobile word game out there in my opinion.

Faded memories

Maybe my memory of this game isn’t accurate after several years away. I like it. The ads are extremely annoying. The asking price for premium is far more than I would consider paying for such a game.
I’ll go back to staring out the window now.

Letterpress

I'm addicted to this elegant little game! Limiting the number of days by which a player must respond is a very welcome feature.

One of the best chilled out games around

The iPhone can be a terrible distraction but also a good one too.

There are moments in your life you just want to while away the time.

Read an article, watch a video or play a game.

The issue with some of these things is that they draw you in and become a time suck.

Watch tik tok or YouTube and you’re there for much longer than you intended. Time suck.

You play a tower defence game and you are trying to get more and more and more. Beat the previous high score etc. Again time suck.

THIS game, a bit like the NYT puzzles, is perfect.

It allows you to play your move, a little bit of cerebral thinking (not beyond most people) and leave it alone. You can come back to it a few hours later or an even a few days later. No pressure. Respond back to your opponents move and so on.

It’s leisurely and interesting. Every game is different.

But most importantly it’s not a time suck. It is a stress reliever. A chill out session. It is simple and brilliant.

I love this and I think you will too (especially if you love puzzles and word games).

Love this app

Been playing it for a decade and still love it!

Werbewahnsinn

Das Spiel an sich macht Spaß, leider wird bei mir aber jeder Spielzug mit einer Werbeunterbrechung beglichen und daher fliegt es nun wieder runter.

Response from developer

That is incorrect. An ad does not trigger with each move. Play multiple games at once (try the Bots) and you'll see this is the truth.

Buggy

The 10/28 update introduced bugs. Others have reported some, but most annoying is that the shake-to-rearrange feature no longer works.

Great game!

Great game!

An Ad site masking as a Game.

Downloaded “game”, entered one single word and an ad popped up taking over the screen. It’s not a “ game” if it will not allow you to even begin to “play” it.
