### 5/5 — A keeper

*2025-01-14, version 2.2*

This is a great basic anagram game, if you like the 9 letter games in the paper you’ll love this.

I was initially a little frustrated that words I put in weren’t included on the list but then realised the game comes with the only the easy word set free (i.e. a simpler dictionary set). I paid the very small price to upgrade and now I am quite satisfied. I haven’t even tried any of the hard level games yet.

I like that I can look up definitions for words I don’t recognise and that the game automatically enters your word once you’ve completed something valid.

Edit to add: A little frustrated by the jump in difficulty from medium to hard - so many words I’ve never heard of. Still the odd word not in the medium level that probably could be but overall it’s a good level of difficulty.

No ads, support the developer by paying for the harder levels.

### 3/5 — Reveal button hater

*2021-08-18*

I absolutely hate the newest update because the spot the reveal button is in is where your right thumb automatically goes when typing. I can not tell you how many games I have not been able t finish because my thumb accidentally hits the reveal button. This is so disappointing especially when you are at 98%.  Please please please move it to the top pod the page or something.  It is in the worst place possible.  I can’t believe no one else haas complained about this. 

Thank you. 
Disappointed in Ohio

### 2/5 — App changed with last update

*2018-04-03*

This was a pretty simple yet addictive game of anagram. You would pick the length of a word and then find that word plus as many smaller words made up of the letters as you can. You could pick four or eight letter base words for example. Now after the update you can only choose easy medium or hard words and the length of the base word is random. But you also do not get to guess all of the smaller words as some of the rounds won't let you guess three letters for example.  I wish it would go back to the old game format.
I started playing this again and noted that there are many non English words included.  They should stick to one language in the word possibilities.

**Developer response:** Hello Lost!

Quite a while in the making, the newest version of Nagaram | anagraM has just been released.  It has the ability to select minimum and maximum word lengths, in addition to Easy, Medium, and Hard dictionaries. 

I think you will appreciate these changes, plus a few others, like New Game and Reveal buttons on the front page. 

Keep an eye out for it in the App Store. 

Feel free to contact me at the email address below if you have questions.

### 5/5 — Best scramble game!

*2017-12-25*

I play word games all the time and I love the functionality of this game. The latest version separates easy, medium and hard words, increasing word obscurity with each level. Hard level words tend to be longer and are truly a challenge even for regular word game addicts.

### 5/5 — My favourite type of word game

*2017-07-13, version 1.8.1*

This is a great app and is my favourite type of word game.  It always runs seamlessly and the letters are a good size.  Tons of games too.  Thanks.

### 3/5 — Great games

*2017-06-20, version 1.8*

I am enjoying this but there is no facility for saving finished games so you do the same ones over and over again. Okay if you have a poor memory.

### 5/5 — Great game now even greater!

*2017-01-05*

This is the best anagram game on the App Store. I purchased the full version to get access to all the anagrams, not just the sample set. I have been playing it for a couple of years now, and the latest update has made it faster and easier to play. There have been only a few repeats in two and a half years, so I get a good brain workout with this game....

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-07-05, version 1.4*

Fun anagram game. Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2015-04-06, version 1.4*

Great! Just wish it had more.

Version 2.2 in memory of Bernice and Larry.

### 2.0 — 2017-12-21

Now with Easy, Medium and Hard word selections.
All new and improved!  New colors, new words, new look!

Easy uses a smaller dictionary of general English words.  Medium uses a much larger vocabulary, and Hard is...well..hard, weighing in at about 245,000 words!  In honor of iPhone X, Hard words has 10 letter words too!  Sometime Hard is so hard we skip the 3 letter answers and only look for 4 letter words and up.

Version 2.0 in memory of Laura, Nagaram's biggest fan.
