Thanks for a wonderful gift
Thank you Seth.
I love this App
It’s definitely helped me learn new words and new anagrams. I don’t know why but my iPad version won’t give me definitions. I’d pay for this app, just saying. I love tournament scrabble and I am improving yearly with study. This tool really helps.
It’s tricky knowing what the word lists are, the abbreviations are confusing. Updating the app description here in the App Store would be nice — add latest lists and describe what they mean. For instance, the latest NASPA list has two for 2020. The one with the S is for school or students and has more ‘objectionable’ words removed.
Thanks for such a handy tool!

Works for Me
Albeit, this App has a couple of drawbacks when compared to Zarf which, to many, was the Gold Standard. However, ULU is more than I could have hoped for and, for our purposes (wife and I), it is exactly what we needed when we go head to head in our Scrabble competitions against each other. Thank you for developing this wonderful App.

Lives up to its name
The only other feature I wish it had was definitions, but get that this a licensing issue or whatever. Thanks for an exceptionally useful tool, Seth!
Excellent app
Great!!
Almost Perfect
Love it but is there any hope this app will ever include definitions?
CSW19
How soon will the lexicon be updated to the new CSW19?
Needs Better Word List
Unfortunately the word list lexicon is quite small.
It really needs TWL 2016, which is copyright. Why can’t for a fee or something we get a better lexicon.
I am using this app to replace Zarf and Zyzzyva, which no longer work on my iPad.

Love it!
Zarf died...I cried. Needed comparable program for my iPad. Ulu does the job. Maybe no major bells and whistles (yet?) but at least now I can sit back in my big comfy old recliner and actually (easily) figure out which stems my aging brain has misplaced! Yeah... Seth, you rock!
It’s good, but...
It’s good but there is room for improvement. I’ve only been using it a few days and there have already been several times when the scrabble app’s “teacher” said there was a better scoring word I should have used - but it wasn’t even included in this app’s word list. And yes, I see that there is an option to add my own lexicon but after doing a google search, I’ve realized that there’s more to it than just searching for a “TWL06” link, and therefore, it is beyond my abilities...
In addition to including a scrabble word list, I really wish there was an option to sort the words based on scrabble scores (ie highest scoring word to the least). This is something I used very frequently with the Zarf app, which sadly, has become obsolete due to a lack of updates and it’s inevitable incompatibility to the newer OS’s...
basically, if you just copy the Zarf app & keep it updated (which, it never needed due to bugs - just so it’s compatible), u could easily charge an upgrade fee of a $1-2 and make a killing off those who can no longer use Zarf!
But that’s just my suggestion...

Response from developer
The official Scrabble lexicon is copyrighted, so it cannot be included in ULU. Thanks for understand.
Doesn't seem to work for scrabble
I downloaded the app but the only lexicon was for WWF not OWL3 for scrabble.
Response from developer
The official Scrabble lexicon is under copyright, so it cannot be shipped as part of ULU. Thanks for understanding.
Useful utility
Very handy for scrabble players. You have to manually load CSW15 lexicon yourself which could be a challenge for some - but I suspect this is a copyright thing.
It's simple and fast and will presumably become the de facto standard once 32-bit Zyzzyva is killed off by iOS upgrades.
I would like to see the front and back hook letter for words in search results, ideally, but kudos to the author for a clean and simple app that works well. Thanks!

Hooks front and back
It is a very nice compilation but would be so much
better if you’d include front and back hooks.
better if you’d include front and back hooks.
Font size
Would it be possible to adjust size of fonts for better visibility?
Seth rocks!
This will be wonderful to have, especially if Zarf dies on iOS 11.
Every word game player should have this!
Indispensable for any competitive word game players, and a very suitable iOS 11+ replacement for older programs!
