User reviews

Brilliant concept but.....

I really like the concept of this but feel it could be improved in several ways. I'd like the movement to be smoother and without that horrible grating noise that gets on my nerves. I'm also disappointed it doesn't give a list of all the words not found at the end of each game. And lastly many of the boards have a really bad selection of letters like two Q's and a Z or two X's and a J so you have to keep abandoning games until you get better letters.
I'm editing this as the game is undergoing improvements. You will soon be able to choose the sound the tiles make and I like the tone much better. An added dictionary will also greatly improved the game.

Response from developer

Version 2.0 is now available, with multiple improvements addressing most of your concerns. You can now display a word list showing possible words at the end of the game, or ‘hints’ during the game. There are now several choices of sounds, and really bad letter combinations are prevented (although some combinations will still be harder than others, which gives the game more variety). Thank you for your feedback. I hope you enjoy the new version.
