Love this game!

A word game that becomes more challenging as it progresses, but lots of fun. You can only play it 500 times and it ends. HOWEVER, you can DELETE the game then and INSTALL it again, as the creator of the game told me when I wrote him to tell him how much I loved Word Forward and was sorry it had ended. It turns out that the letters in the games are entirely random so you are not playing the same games you played on the first install. I love this game so much that I just installed it again for the third time!

Forget Wordle, THIS is a word puzzle worth playing

Love this game. Only had it for a couple of days but it’s the perfect morning coffee word puzzle. Much more involved than Wordle, without being too onerous.

My favorite word game

This is my favorite word game of all time. I’ve reached Level 500. I was disappointed to discover that is as far as it goes. There’s no other word game that seems as challenging so I don’t know what I’m going to replace it with. I would definitely have rated it 5 stars if the levels had continued.

Clever and challenging word game

This is a clever word game perfect for those who, like me, do not want a timer when playing a game. You can take your time. Start over as many times as you want to. This is a great game for one person. Well worth the incredibly reasonable price of 99¢.

Learning is for ⏹s!!!

-5:5 stars, won’t accept my meme words like Vape and Yolo but will accept ava and jee, which I had to google and learn what they mean. How dare a word game give me more vocabulary !!!
