Just use the RESET button if you get stuck. - HINTS are available to help you solve the trickier levels!

About me I am a non-techie mom of 3 kids, and came up with this game while helping my kids with vocabulary. Developing this game has been a family affair, with everyone contributing their bit. My 14yr old daughter created the graphics for the game. I have 10 year old twins who helped me with compiling the word lists, and with testing. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Probably *2020-11-09, version 1.2* Okay. I freely admit I am a word snob, a grammar nazi, a devoted worshipper of letters, spaces, and marks on a page. I call it an eccentricity; others call it a personality disorder. Potato, patato. I gave this 5 stars on the first night, but then I got to know it better and the magic wore off. This game has no mercy. I mean, the word "mercy" is not a real word according to the game dictionary. There is also no "pith." And while it admits there is such a word as "professor," it will not allow you to "profess." Strange, huh? These are just a few examples. I get that folks might not want to hook up with every word they meet, but here the dictionary appears to be a random selection of random words. I really like the game concept and the potential for strategy, but it needs a more respectable vocabulary. The puzzles are fun for an occasional hookup, but this not the kind of game you take home to meet the parents. ### 4/5 — I enjoy the game but I’d enjoy it more if it stops resetting. *2020-08-18, version 1.2* I have reached the Champ/Expert Section but every time I close out of the app it resets. I have to input all those words to get back to where I was. It’s frustrating. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear of your problem. Could you please use the “Send Feedback” button in app settings (gear icon on main menu) to get in touch with us. We can find a solution for your problem. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Kinda boring *2020-07-22, version 1.2* I love me some word games but I got to level 15 (granted in the rookie section, but I like to start easy when I'm trying out games), and not only did I get raked over the coals with ads that they fade in so at first you think it's part of the game, but also there was no challenge whatsoever. Nothing remotely causing me to need to think at all. Sad times. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The game does start easy but gets challenging further on. I think the ads (that appear after every 5 levels) might seem too many in the beginning as you move through the levels quickly, but wouldn't once you are past the senior level. Ads are a necessary evil for us to help monetize our effort. I would urge you to give it one more try! Thanks Neha ### 3/5 — Points are hard to come by *2020-03-26, version 1.1.1* Fun, addicting game, but points/coins are very hard to come by. I have played other word games in which this is the case, but if I do spend the coins for a hint, the hint should not disappear so quickly. If I use the 5-coin hint that shows every other letter in the answer, it disappears if I get the answer wrong. It should stay up until I get the answer right. Should be an easy fix without having to rewrite the code for the entire game. ### 3/5 — Update? Received response from developer offering to fix glitch. I will take them up on the offer *2020-01-10, version 1.1.1* All my hard work getting through the Master’s level was wiped out with the update. Wants me to restart at Rookie. Don’t think so. Bye bye word hook up. **Developer response:** Sorry for the problem you are facing. I would hate to loose you as a player. I believe we can get this resolved. Could you please use the feedback form in the settings dialog, or email me directly at wordhookup.helper@gmail.com so that we can get you to continue from the Master level. ### 1/5 — Spelling errors!! *2020-01-08, version 1.1.1* Seriously. It’s quite difficult to guess the correct word if they have it spelled incorrectly in the app. Ugh. ### 3/5 — Still locked out *2019-12-10, version 1.1.1* I did the update and I am still locked out of all of the levels I previously mastered. I have to start at puzzle one every time. Time to delete. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-11-17, version 1.0.9* One of the best game apps I’ve tried. The reason for only 4 stars, which I’ll change to 5 if the problem is corrected, is I completed the Master Level and it shows two more levels are live but they are not. I can’t go any further and there is no explanation anywhere as to why this may be. Again, a great game except for this one problem. ## Frequently asked questions about Word Hookup ### What is Word Hookup?
