Is this in the Pro Version? It wasn’t listed as a feature so I did not purchase it. Also, the very first word I looked up, “salet,” had no entry, so the dictionary needs expanding. ### 3/5 — Highly useful but seriously icky *2026-03-28, version 2026.1* Love how this app powers my word-game strategies, but the truly disgusting (almost pornographic) pop-up images that cant remove make me think twice about powering it up. Sorry! ### 4/5 — Adding *2026-03-24, version 2026.1* The numbers don’t add right ### 4/5 — Word look up *2026-02-16, version 2024.3* Much needed, enjoy using it ### 5/5 — Word lookup *2025-05-02, version 2024.3* Excellent tool for definitions and spelling.

Easy to use & dependable, too! I recommend it to anyone who’s a Scrabble aficionado & wants to expand their vocabulary for the game! ### 5/5 — Stickers *2024-12-19, version 2024.3* It would be nice if my most current stickers showed up first instead of having to look for them. Love Words!! Keep up the good work!!! ### 5/5 — I like the immediate respond It will take longer to look for the dictionary *2024-11-17, version 2024.3* This app is tremendously convenient to look up or clarify a definition with the same instrument at hand. ### 5/5 — Word lookup *2024-07-22, version 2024.1* Is a great help to spell many words.

What’s up? ### 1/5 — Words Not Scrabble-worthy *2025-11-07, version 2024.3* Too many “invalid” words, as classified in my online Scrabble game. ### 1/5 — Annoying pop ups *2025-08-11, version 2024.3* I don’t like clicking five different pop ups to play one word. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Word stinks *2023-05-22, version 2023.3* I removing it from my phone . It can’t find words correctly . ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-05-07, version 2021.3* Bad ### 1/5 — Too many obscure words *2021-09-06, version 2020.10* Words with friends would be improved by: Avoiding Latin words Avoiding obscure words like “the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.“ or an ancient Indian coin. Being more consistent with element symbols, eg Ti is ok but Cr, Co, Ca are not valid. AS WORDS WITH FRIENDS IS NOW, EACH MOVE IS LIKE A ROLL OF THE DICE. TRY ANYTHING AS YOU MIGHT JUST HIT ON A VALID WORD EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS. Your source is Wictionary but it should be Oxford English or Merriam Webster. ### 1/5 — I want my old version back. *2021-06-20, version 2020.10* Bad version for simply looking up meanings of a word. ### 1/5 — Lite Q *2019-05-02, version 2019.3* I absolutely dislike what has happened to this program. Every time I think I have a word I can use the game says it’s not acceptable. I only use this for the word game. Why are you making it so difficult. If you put it in the word lookup then it should be acceptable in the game. Otherwise please don’t list it. This is just a recent change. ### 1/5 — Not great anymore *2018-11-17, version 4.6* Not liking app since it changed to only seven letters!! Sucks! ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2018-10-05, version 4.3* I’ve been using this app for years. It was great, until today when it stopped loading. I uninstalled it thinking it might be a glitch. When I reinstalled and opened it, all the features I used to have I now need to upgrade to the Pro version to get. Despite already having them in the existing ‘lite’ version. Really crappy move. Deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like the immediate respond It will take longer to look for the dictionary *2026-08-03, version 2026.1* This app is tremendously convenient to look up or clarify a definition with the same instrument at hand. ### 5/5 — Extremely good *2026-07-11, version 2026.1* Happy with the app, very helpful when playing words with friends app and advertising is acceptable so all good ### 5/5 — Reference *2026-05-16, version 2026.1* Great scrabble reference ### 5/5 — Word Lookup Lite *2026-04-07, version 2026.1* Very cool ups my game for sure ### 5/5 — Complete *2026-03-19, version 2024.3* All the words are accepted by my scrabble app ### 5/5 — Disgusting ads *2026-01-18, version 2024.3* I like the app but the ads border on porn!
