### 5/5 — Makes you think.

*2026-04-03, version 1.38*

Fun game!

### 5/5 — Change isn’t always good

*2026-03-19, version 1.38*

Your new algorithm makes the game less fun and more frustrating. Too many all consonants. Less vowels.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2025-11-29, version 1.34*

I'm 72 and a skilled Scrabble lifer. When I played a word that included a tile in a word already played, a message appeared saying "Connect with a tile on the board"  and that's what I'm doing. After a few tries, I give up.

### 5/5 — Top Game for Scrabble fans

*2025-11-16, version 1.34*

I love this game. It’s a short form of Scrabble, it’s fun and it’s addictive. Read the straight forward rules and enjoy improving your score.

### 5/5 — Q10 game

*2025-10-19, version 1.32*

Enjoyable when I need to take a short break!
 Still a favorite pastime. 
Try it, it’s fun!

### 1/5 — Creators Need A Dictionary

*2025-10-08, version 1.32*

Today was the last straw. There have been several times in the past when this game would not let me use a word that is in the dictionary. Today however put my patience over its limit. “Fetal” and “Lean” are both in Webster’s. I would suggest the creators of this game read a dictionary! I’ll find a different crossword-type game.

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-09-30, version 1.31*

Game always gives the worst letters and especially duplicates

### 1/5 — Q keep up thinking

*2025-09-28, version 1.31*

I building up my vocabulary and use my brain and thinking
Learned a lot vocabulary.

### 2/5 — ???

*2025-06-11, version 1.30*

Not enough instructions !! Made 2 words used up all the tiles. What happens next ? How do you get more tiles ? Plus where’s the music that’s supposed to be there ?

### 4/5 — Double Letters

*2025-04-17, version 1.29*

Used to love this game, but recently it’s changed. Most selections of given letters are full of double letters. Sample of initial given letters of last game: TTRRIIL. I deleted the previous game as the initial given letters included EEOOTTU. I like a challenge, this now makes the game frustrating, not fun.
