Easy

I was disappointed that the puzzles arenโ€™t more challenging. However, the greatest challenge for me was the font. It is too large and is uncomfortable to read, especially when playing a word find game. Make the font smaller, more simple, and emboldened and the game will be more fun and wonโ€™t strain the eyes.

Absolutely Amazing

The word search is absolutely amazing going over meaning different categories. It gives people many challenges within even helping Kidd with their spelling. Great!

Just plain fun!

Perfect for waiting at the airport.

Could use some more polish ...

While it does what itโ€™s supposed to, it looks a little drab. Suggestions:
1. The word list doesnโ€™t sufficiently contrast between those words that have been used, and those which have not. Perhaps the ones that have been used would be plain and gray, while the others would be bold and black.

2. Allow user to change fonts, at least one being a sans serif font.

Also, itโ€™s not clear what the difference is between the HD and non-HD versions.
