WARNING: don't start to play it unless you want to start another addiction. Fun and fast-paced! Beat the clock and beat others! Great graphics, sound and design. Easy to play, not so easy to master. Aim for high score against other players or challenge yourself for most tiles played, longest word and ALL STAR words. Every game is different! See you in the SpeedWords Arena! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying problem *2013-07-18* Sometimes when you put up a tile and then decide you want to change it, you can't grab that tile until you move every other tile away from it. **Developer response:** Hi! This one was fixed in an update. Hope you're enjoying the game once again! -David ### 2/5 — Cannot connect to server *2021-10-29* Very annoying as it will not connect to the internet! And my Internet is working fine! ### 2/5 — I really DO NOT LIKE this new version! *2016-01-29* Before I updated this game, I loved it. Now, there are so many problems, I don't know where to begin. First, the fonts in the list of players' names is so big, I have to scroll to see where I ranked. The ads at the bottom are bad news because they pop up and cover the screen if you put your finger in the wrong place. Also, video ads come in when I am in the middle of a game and it ends my game!!! I understand the need for ads, but this is ridiculous. None of these annoyances were present in the earlier version. I don't see myself playing this game like I used to. **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting these issues! Your result is now automatically scrolled into view, and I have removed all of that annoying advertising. And, there is a new feature showing the top words played in each round. I hope you find the game even better than before. If not, please let me know! -David ### 2/5 — Disappointing Update! *2015-10-04* I really liked the old version! This update is really frustrating and disappointing. :( **Developer response:** I've addressed all of the known frustrations in updates, including removing all advertising for free, so I hope you're enjoying the game once again! -David ### 2/5 — Messes up *2013-12-13* I would like this app if it didn't mess up so much. Sometimes you can't remove a tile. Sometimes if you remove a tile and then put it right back 3 or 4 words turn red even though nothing is wrong. Will never be popular unless fixed ### 5/5 — The best word game I’ve ever played *2022-01-10* I genuinely mean that - it’s the first game I add whenever I get a new device. This game deserves a much larger audience as it is simple and fun but deceptively challenging. There is no constant ads like some of the big name games. All round amazing game which will improve mental sharpness at speed like no other game. **Developer response:** Thank you! Love the community around this game and it’s great to hear you keep coming back with every new device! ### 5/5 — Fast, Fun and Free! *2015-03-22* A cool challenging word game. Much more entertaining than scrabble any day of the week! **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! And I may be biased, but I completely agree that it's way more entertaining (and fair!) than regular Scrabble games. -David ### 5/5 — Addicting...challenging...FUN *2014-12-11* A fast paced game where you have to create words as fast as possible from a set of letters while new letters are added every few seconds or as soon as you use them all. The challenges are to make words out of starred letters for double points and make long words for additional points. You have to think fast because you are playing against everyone else in the arena. You will constantly be trying to improve your personal best and beat everyone else in the arena while always wanting to play just one more game. ### 5/5 — LOVE * LOVE * LOVE *2013-02-12* I absolutely LOVE this game! ### 5/5 — Top notch idea and execution *2013-01-29* This is quite a challenge. I recommend this game to anyone that likes BananaGrams. Excellent game and execution. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game!! *2012-12-31* No other Scrabble game can compare. I actually deleted Words With Friends because it's just not as fun. I'm obsessed with this game! ### 5/5 — ADDICTING *2012-12-24* Very fun! I can't stop playing! They just updated it! Its now on the iPhone as well as the iPad! Awesome! ### 5/5 — Very addicting *2012-12-18* I love the game. Wish there were leader boards. But hopefully in future updates! Overall it's great to play! A bunch of us get together and play... the 2012 'r 13 way of playing a board game :) ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2012-11-19* A family affair, I play this game with my daughters and grandchildren located in different states, it is so much fun whether you are a child or an adult. My grandchildren like to challenge Grandma! The game is fast-paced and really makes you use your brain. GREAT GAME! ### 5/5 — Love it ...no waiting to play *2012-11-14* Love this game. Fav part is you can always play no waiting for people to make moves! This game rocks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
