### 5/5 — New twist

*2013-02-21*

More challenging than plain boggle. Original.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2012-03-26*

This is okay. I really like boggle games, but the drawing across the letters is really stiff. If you don't get it dead on, it doesn't register the word. Also you have to go pretty slow to get it to register each letter. Has potential. I like the slide twist.

**Developer response:** I hope you'll try the latest version - many improvements.
