Great game

I like how you can configure this game to how you want to play it!

Thank you!

Thank you, developer, for giving the option to revert to the previous layout! That sets you apart from the zillions of word games with the silly circle where you swipe back and forth. There are far too many word games with the circle, so Iโ€™m glad you gave the option to continue with the previous version.

Really sad

When I fill in the word ring it keeps banging on, and wonโ€™t fill in the words. What a sad loss.

Changed format

I used to play this game all of the time. The new format is very disappointing. Terrible layout. This will no longer be my go to game.

Response from developer

We are sorry to hear this. You can still revert to the earlier layout if you prefer - from the main menu of the game, select select the Settings (below the PLAY button). You can choose the "TAP" option under "Select Letters" heading. This will revert to the earlier layout. Regards,

Ruined the Game!

Iโ€™ve literally played this game every day for over six years, even with the family as we would take turns. The new update has ruined it! Horrible layout and tried to make the game like others with a zigzag pattern. Iโ€™ve deleted the app. So sad.
