### 1/5 — Issue with the tourneys

*2023-02-04, version 1.2*

I have been playing Word Shaker HD lite for a while, and I have noticed that sometimes, users best words have a Qu in them, when the board doesn't have a Qu tile in it. So I looked at one of the users whose Game Center profile was public, and saw that they also played Word Shaker Christmas. So, after playing the hourly tourney on Word Shaker HD Lite, I installed Word Shaker Christmas to test something out. In the tourney section, I saw my own username on the scoreboard, but word shaker Christmas allowed me to play again. I played the word shaker Christmas, and it was a different board. The word shaker lite board had one Qu tiles and the Christmas board had two Qu's. Since I got a higher score on Christmas, it replaced my score with the higher score from Christmas. This is an issue, because people playing word shaker had lite may have a worse chance to win the tourney because someone else has a different board on word shaker Christmas. I suggest that you either remove the tourney function from word shaker Christmas, make it the same board and not let players play both, or add the Christmas to a separate leaderboard.

I put one star so you may notice this comment. Other than this issue, the game is very good. 

Thank you
A word shaker Hd lite player.
