Good clean fun

Challenging enough, and educational while still being fun. If you like word games and enjoy learning new things about a variety of topics, you will likely enjoy this app. Well done!

Glitchy or what?!

I love games of vocabulary and spelling. I was enjoying this for a very short while until the game wouldn’t allow me to spell some words like ‘atom’ correctly and it kept changing it to ‘aton’. I tried 4 times and carefully tapped the letter m. But to no avail. Similar glitches were present on other pages. ( as the page on Mona Lisa)
So perhaps I do not completely understand the rules?! Why doesn’t the system allow me to spell such a word correctly?!
I would be happy to change my rating if there were an explanation for this issue.

Spelling

Spelling of words for a program teaching English with a picture of the British flag in its icon should not use American spelling of English words! Color is spelled colour correctly if it’s English. And no I am not from England, however that is where the English language is from, so if education is important in a program there should be at least some way to spell the words both ways.

Word Nerd Heaven!

I’m a word nerd who reads with a red pen using editors’ marks. Mind The Gap is perfect for me—I get to learn about a wide variety of subjects while I’m filling in the gaps.

--Chicago Blue

Nothing too exciting

And selections are from a specific point of view. One starts to feel like there is an agenda behind the specific selections. Kind of a turn off for me, but maybe someone else’s point of view.
I little too easy though. The words are obvious. Especially the shear quantity of filling out “and” “the” “in”. Not too stimulating.
