### 3/5 — Sympa

*2018-07-11*

Jeu aléatoire de la part de Lettro qui laisse gagner facilemunt mais sympa tout de même.

### 1/5 — HORRÍVEL!

*2017-07-13*

Não aceita palavras em português e inventa várias siglas sem noção. Ridículo demais este jogo.

### 1/5 — Primeiro deveria funcionar para depois ficar disponível para baixar

*2017-07-09*

Não reconhece a maioria das palavras, muito ruim

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2017-04-08*

I've been playing this game for about a week now and this been entertaining. No complaints here.

### 2/5 — Boa intenção

*2017-03-30*

O jogo faz palavras que não existem e não aceita algumas palavras que existem

### 1/5 — Na ja

*2016-11-01*

Erst hat es mir richtig Spaß gemacht - aber dann fand ich es ziemlich nervig, was es für seltsame Wörter gebildet hat...und dass ich irgendwann keine Leben mehr hatte und deswegen welche kaufen oder ewig lange warten oder lange Werbung anschauen soll. Ich denke, ich werde es wieder löschen. Schade, denn die Idee hat mir wirklich gut gefallen!

### 1/5 — Schlecht!

*2016-10-23*

Kennt Worte wie "Serie" nicht bildet aber welche wie "Tirasse" und "darob"

Einfach nur schlecht! Deinstalliert!!!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2016-04-27*

Loads of fun!

### 1/5 — Exists mainly to show ads

*2016-01-22*

This game literally pops an ad up between every game. If not careful you'll find yourself kicked out of the game into the App Store without a quick jump back. The game would have potential if the developer weren't using such a miserable user hostile funding system. 

After your free lives are up you can buy more at ridiculously high prices considering that the AI makes words of dubious provenance while rejecting real words from the human. I have no intention of checking to see if buying lives stops the ads. I'll find another game and avoid this developer like the plague.

### 2/5 — Dommage

*2015-11-24*

N'accepte pas certains mots français mais valide les mots d'une autre langue de l'ordinateur ! Dommage car jeu sympa
