### 5/5 — Challenging and addictive!

*2022-08-20, version 1.1.2*

This one is fun AND good for the brain! If you are looking for a mindless game - move along. It’s really challenging - in a good way - definitely exercises the brain! It started to click for me after a few tries and then I was addicted to beating my own time, increasing the difficulty, and of course, challenging my friends and family and trying to beat them! Love the background colors and stars too! Very satisfying!

### 5/5 — So many words

*2022-05-19, version 1.1.1*

Beware, 5 letter puzzle fans, this one includes lots of 4 letter plurals and present tense verbs!
 I wish there were more stats collected: and some Game Center integration. It runs quickly, so if you feel you’ve accomplished something great, it goes away quickly.
Still my brain feels very exercised after a few games!

### 5/5 — Fantastic new game

I don’t mind “wasting” time playing because I feel like I am improving my brain-End it needs improvement. I love word games and I found this one challenging and easy to understand so I could start having fun from the jump!

### 5/5 — Move over Wordle - you can play this all day long!

*2022-01-12, version 1.1.0*

This game moves quickly and you can determine your level of difficulty. I enjoy trying to beat my previous records and increase my difficulty with each round. The words are great, and some are really tricky! But it’s fun for any level any time of day.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2022-01-03, version 1.0*
