Well executed with one problem

This is a fun game that my friends and family play together and compete on scores. It’s easy to share scores with each other, and even the word lists that we end up with. The main problem is the words are very inconsistent in what is acceptable and what is not. Oftentimes words from the previous day that we check on are not actual words. It would be great if the developer used a standardized dictionary, such as Merriam Webster. Even so, thank you for a great game!

Good game but….

You will never ever get all the words without cheating because while some of the words may actually exist, there are words that have never been used by anyone ever in the history of time. Just be happy with reaching 50-80% each day

Needs some fixes

Fun game, but the daily stats don’t accurately save… sometimes they completely delete themselves. Also, many words in solutions are so obscure that it’s nearly impossible solve any daily puzzle without cheating. Hints would also be helpful.

Erasing progress

I’m tired of my daily progress being erased! I work on it in the morning and come back to it later in the day and all of my words are gone-starting back at zero. That’s brutal!

Errors in the App

There are errors inside the app, which ignores correct spelling bee answers. This is verified by checking the YESTERDAY tab and reviewing the correct answers you have missed.
Example, one correct answer would have been the word NOLL. The spelling bee answer was spelled NOLLL. Whoever input the solutions misspelled certain words. Making it difficult to get 100% win also not accepting the correct answer yet it shows up the next day YESTERDAY solutions/answers.

. Smart fun easy

Less functionality than website

The website has a nice table of starting letters and how many words starting with each letter there are. This is lacking.
Also it asked me to review it without seconds of stating my first game.

Getting smart

Need to improve my spelling, didn’t pay attention to it when I was small. This helps out a lot.

Roman Numerals?

I wish there were some guidelines in your rules about using Roman numerals. Some are acceptable (see June 26), but others are not. Obviously they must be at least 4 characters, but why is XCII accepted, but not CXII?

Word censors

“Sexes” isn’t considered a valid word? Really?!

Keeps Erasing Words

I really like this game however it has reset my stats automatically several times which I can live with but when it starts erasing the words that I’ve created during the day… I’m done! Deleting this app!!

Improvements

There are so many words in each category each day that you don’t allow as possibilities. That’s ridiculous and I have the feeling that you don’t allow it because you’re trying to be sensitive from being offensive, which is also ridiculous. Words are words. Also, the name of a country is also a word and almost every single group of letters. There’s an option to put a country or a state, but it’s not allowable by your platform. Incredibly ridiculous. This is why I give you one star.

Never saves your stats

Constantly deletes my progress for no reason. Erases my weekly records too

WTF

I’ve identified valid words and they were rejected-Then, the next day, I find these words in the highlighted “list of approved words” that I have *missed* (?!)
Has this happened to anyone else? It’s frustrating.

Spelling Bee is educational and fun

I always learn new vocabulary terms, including terms unique to non-USA usage. It is enjoyable, stimulating and challenging!

Same words over and over

If you download this, you’ll see that you get the same couple of puzzles time and again.

Really enjoyed the game however …..

After a week the app lost all my data, stats and even the games I had played the day before. Made contact, no reply. Now looking for another app that works properly.

Letters arent the same answer letters in web page answers.

Letters sonetimes aren’t the same letters that appear in NY Times answers website pages and Mashable and Bee Solver. It always was the same before! 😠😠Makes playing not fun. Letters used to mimic webpage and used to be the same same as in the game. Not learning as much. Game too hard to find all the words. Same as NY Times game except no subscription needed. losing interest when not able to see the day’s correct letters in answers on NY Times and Mashable. Fix this problem right away please. If not fixed will end in frustration and delete. So etimes posts game with pnly 2-3 answrs. Too short no fun. Automated games should be checked daily before posting.
