The app was last updated 2 years ago. ### 4/5 — Elementary app with limited features to offer *2025-05-26* I’ve played this game for years, but the app is old and doesn’t offer much. I don’t like that you can’t block the ability for another player to message you or to be matched with new games from random players. I really don’t want new games because I don’t have time and I have to decline them from random strangers and they’ll cuss me out for declining their games they start with me. ### 1/5 — DancingQueen *2019-10-21, version 2.72* Haven’t been able to open game for days as I’m in the UK, dont get to play in The short time it’s available, not good enough may not even bother going back. ### 5/5 — Good game *2018-07-09* I love this game. All of the twists make it more challenging. I’m not the best at it but it’s still fun and challenging. I enjoy it very much! ### 5/5 — Best word game ever! *2017-04-21* I've played many word games but Word Colors is the most fun by far! Not only is the game challenging, but you get to meet people from all over the world. I've been totally addicted for over 5 years and don't see that changing anytime soon. Great job WC developers! ### 5/5 — Word Colors *2016-02-17, version 2.5* This is my #1 most favorite Scrabble game!!! ### 4/5 — Good game.....but *2015-09-12* Word Colors is another good word game with enough to set it apart to make it fun and a worthy addition to any "Wordies" collection. That said, it has two flaws which might be to much for some players. One is the inclusion of the YAWL dictionary as a reference. Calling YAWL a dictionary is stretching the truth. It's more of a list of acceptable letter combinations that can be used. Many of them simply aren't words in any other format. "NY" might warm a Yankee fan's heart, but it is hardly a word. The second issue is that, since the bonus for consecutive letters of one color stays active, the letter "S" is extremely powerful almost to the point of being a "broken" letter. Crappy spellers need merely hoard "S"s to stay in the game. Not a game breaker, but annoying. All in all Word Colors is a fun diversion for wordies. Just throw out some of your old strategy and most of your vocabulary. ### 5/5 — Word Tricks is back in word colors!!! *2015-07-26* And I am so very happy to be able to play again;and in a more colorful format at that! Thanks people...I really mean that cause these word games have brang me nothing but joy,entertainment and a few really nice people I've had the pleasure of making their acquaintance,makes it extra funtastic. ### 4/5 — Nice twist on a word game *2015-07-15, version 1.5* Scoring is a bit of work and there's no auto calculate till you do a final submit, so I don't pay much attention to that. Otherwise it's fun. ### 5/5 — Exciting *2015-05-15, version 1.5* Love this game very addicting and fun. Love meeting new people! ## Frequently asked questions about Word Colors ### What is Word Colors? Word Colors is a word game that combines forming words with matching colors to multiply your scores.
