### 2/5 — Maybe with more players

*2024-04-30*

Has potential. I kept getting the same random opponent. That random opponent not playing back.

### 5/5 — Swedish word game I hope takes off in English. Try it out

*2023-03-13*

I was looking for a word game and ran across this one in the App Store and thought I would give it a try. It’s a little like scrabble except you play all your tiles on your board and your opponent plays their tiles with the same letters and layout and then the scores are compared after three rounds. You can also play in a solo mode. It was a little bit hard for me to find where the rules were and the solo play but it is the tile up in the left-hand top corner that opens the menu.

### 4/5 — Fun challenging word game

### 5/5 — Roni

*2022-07-24*

I really do enjoy this game, it challenges me and doesn’t bore me…

### 5/5 — I play everyday

*2022-02-02*

The mechanics are simple enough to learn and see yourself progress. It’s like Scrabble, but your score is completely based on your own board. I love this game and would summon my inner Beth Harmon to play world tournaments if such existed for Roni :D! 

I easily spend hours on the game and my competitiveness inspires me to learn more words to play with, ha. 

I could see myself playing to pass the time if I’m out waiting for an appt/at the bus, or playing just for fun at home when I want some chill time. 

You can play practice rounds, with friends, or PvP random matching. I’m waiting for more players to challenge, :D so get in there & good luck!!

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2014-07-07*

I understand trying to promote buying the full version.  But having a countdown timer forcing users to wait before continuing is not the way to make me part with my cash.  It makes me resent doing so as it's a nasty tactic. If the game is good, which it seems to be, I'd buy it for that reason.  Put off playing...
