At minimum, ensure a definition is available for the pangram words. ### 4/5 — 4 stars instead of 5 *2026-07-06, version 3.3.0* The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I’ve played/had this game for a few years but I have NEVER seen the letter S. There’s been Qs, Xs, Zs, Ys, Vs, and Ws. But not a single S? I’m a bit baffled. All that being said, I play the game multiple times a week and enjoy it very much. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-02, version 3.3.0* Challenging and keeps my brain active at 72 years of age… ### 1/5 — Owner manipulates game *2026-06-19, version 3.3.0* Fun game, but…the owner manipulates the scores in real time as he makes up scores to beat you as you’re playing and you won’t win ever even if you come up with more words than anyone as you can see the owner fudge the scores as you’re playing if you’re clearly beating him and it stinks and is sad that the scores aren’t honest and he won’t let people play honestly and manipulates the scores prior to the games and in real time which is sad that he can’t handle people who best him which I do each time and it’s so embarrassing to watch him fudge the scores, but the game itself is fun. I just don’t understand why the owner’s ego won’t let you win fair and square. I’m an old woman who bests him every time and I can see him changing the scores as I’m playing and I don’t understand why I’m paying him money and if I deserve to win he won’t accept it and let people play fair and square. Sad. I hope someone else makes a similar version that will let you win if you actually do. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-05-22, version 3.3.0* This app is horrendously made. I suspect it’s been vibe coded. The UI is awful and has so many bugs. You are only allowed one pangram each day. The social features are strangely implemented and ham fisted. I would not recommend this. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-05-20, version 3.3.0* I love this game! It gives wide berth to word possibilities and you can play as many games as you want, to as many levels as you like. One of the good ones! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-05-14, version 3.3.0* What a wonderful find!! Great attention to detail with excellent features. Also the developer is very responsive to feedback. ### 5/5 — This game is so freaking fun and fun to play 😇 *2026-03-14, version 3.3.0* I like this game so much I’m able to practice my words and get better at reading the words 😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — I’ve played this game for years! *2026-01-10, version 3.2.7* This is the perfect game to have on my phone. I paid a very reasonable amount for the paid version a long time ago and have never had to pay again. It’s really refreshing when every other phone game has a ton of ads and recurring costs for paid versions. There’s an option to donate, which I’ve done at one point, but it’s not required. The creator of this app seems like a really genuine person who does his best to keep the app up to date. I had some tech issue a while back and he answered my email promptly and kindly. ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2025-12-28, version 3.2.4* Fun game but full of pretend words, too many nouns made into verbs, arbitrary use of proper names (Telford, a town in England, but not London, for example), many inexplicable spellings of real words. Not a recommended way to learn English. Still it presents its own challenges to solve. ## Frequently asked questions about Pangram ### What is Pangram?
