App keeps crashing
Response from developer
Sorry it took more than 10 years, but I think I got the app to stop crashing.
Could be better

Thanks for your feedback! Word 2 Word now has an expanded dictionary featuring all words known by more than 70% of the U.S. population. All puzzles can be solved at or under par by using only words known by more than 90% of the population. Most important, people who buy the full game now have the ability to enter Custom Words if they want to augment the existing dictionary with words that aren't included in the app.

Thanks for your feedback! I agree this is lame. After some thought, I removed the hint button. I might add it back in a future version, but no promises.
Ridiculously limited dictionary
The algorithm that calculates the minimum number of steps between words also needs work--on several occasions I completed the puzzle in fewer steps than it said was possible.

Most important, people who buy the full game now have the ability to enter Custom Words if they want to augment the existing dictionary with words that aren't included in the app. Regarding the number of steps (called par in version 2.0) it is indeed possible to solve puzzles using fewer steps than recommended. That's a bonus for those with a bigger vocabulary. Par is calculated by only using words known by at least 90% of the U.S. population, so solutions don't rely on knowing jargon or uncommon words.
