Stretch the Brain! *2022-03-01, version 3.2.3* I love this! I am addicted to word games and this game allows me to challenge ME - plus it is a GREAT way to challenge kids / grandchildren! I screenshot the start of a round…. Play the best to my ability and then screenshot…… I manually write out the letters and available space words ( I don’t draw the books 🤣) On the top right corner of the page I write my ending score./ plus how many words I personally made. I do a screenshot of the entire word list - so we know at the end because I do not know the point system- this works for us 🙂 “Granny found 38 out of 45…. What can YOU do?” Makes for interesting conversation in car trips or sitting around the house! Excellent game! PLEASE KEEP UP WITH APPLE updates so we don’t “lose you” like we have 3 games that are no longer available 😢* not from your company * ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-06, version 3.2.3* Like this game...easy to play, works without a problem. Similar to other games, but this one seems to hold my interest. ### 5/5 — Good game *2018-12-04, version 3.2.3* Like word games? If so you will enjoy ### 5/5 — Addicted *2018-12-03, version 3.2.3* Great game. This was my best subject in school. I am now 79 and still good at it. ### 4/5 — Fun *2018-10-10, version 3.2.3* A great addictive game but it needs a bigger dictionary like Scrabble. It doesn’t recognise the word “stile” for example. Why not? ### 5/5 — Very Relaxing *2018-03-22, version 3.2.3* I use this game to wind down every night and hopefully I'm improving my spelling skills while I'm at it ;) ### 5/5 — Still fun *2018-02-22, version 3.2.3* I really enjoy this game. ### 5/5 — Addictive game! *2018-01-10, version 3.2.3* I love this game! Great to aim for higher levels (I have got to level 14 once!). I find levels more relevant than score as the number of words possible affects the score available ### 5/5 — Fun, fun, fun *2017-10-20, version 3.2.3* I enjoy this game and now play it only on Level 7 - it goes quickly since there are far fewer words! ### 4/5 — FUN *2017-09-10, version 3.2.3* LOVE IT!! (TIE, LIE, EVIL, LIVE, LIT) ### 5/5 — Word Spell *2017-07-08, version 3.2.3* Fun, fun game - fast and addictive! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-06-21, version 3.2.3* Lots of fun to play. ### 4/5 — Addictive, challenging and frustrating *2017-05-22, version 3.2.3* This is a great game but you really have to concentrate particularly as you move through each level as your time gets shorter. Personally I think level 6 and 7 should have a little more time as I find it nearly impossible to get past theses levels then it becomes frustrating. I used to play this game a lot but have never yet got past Level 7 so only play occasionally now. ### 5/5 — Brilliant!! *2017-05-20, version 3.2.3* This spelling game is great for all ages, including adults. I play this game all the time and it is fun, and I am a adult. Try it, it will improve your spelling significantly. ### 5/5 — Word Spell *2017-04-16, version 3.2.3* I love this game. I've played for years. It always challenges me. ### 5/5 — Hooked *2017-02-25, version 3.2.3* I love this game it is great. I just wish it had more then just 7 levels. Can this be done? Please can you work on harder levels cuz I need to be challenged more. Can you do this plzzzz. Thank you for any help you give in addressing my request. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-01-21, version 3.2.3* I've had this app for many years and even though it's a simple concept, I enjoy trying to get to level 7! The fear of running out of time usually keeps me from getting there! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2015-08-17, version 3.2.2* This game rejects easy English words, such as trope, gaol, ripens, opines, and chard, but allows words that do not exist in English, such as plower, nuder, and deers. If you have a good vocabulary, just walk on by this game. ### 1/5 — word spell *2012-06-24, version 2.0* I'd like it if there was a version that wasn't timed. Also, I'm confused at the scoring: each level, I score more than the goal, yet when the game is finished, my score is less than the goal???. ### 2/5 — No more updates *2020-10-27, version 3.2.3* No ipdates ### 2/5 — It's just OK-needs improvement *2013-09-07, version 3.0.2* This Anagram type word game is just OK-there are MANY similar games WHICH ARE SET UP SO MUCH BETTER. I played this a little but I intend to delete it now for a few reasons-Mainly I don't like the delay of when I press "cast" to submit my answer-it just takes too long-it should be immediate since I'm playing on a timer but instead it makes this "swish" noise & it unnecessarily takes up time-I like to keep my game moving & that pause really annoys me (possibly younger kids may enjoy that but I do not). Another HUGE drawback is I can barely see the words I got correct-As they are SO TINY-appearing on the sides of the books up top-so they are also displayed vertically-I like to see the words I already got & the way this is set up makes it almost impossible. I also do not understand exactly how the game determines moving you to the next level, I was playing level after level then in my last game I got the largest words correct & almost every word except a few 3 letter & 4 letter words I didn't guess in time & my game ended-apparently I didn't score enough to keep moving to the next level & most games like this always move you to the next level when you guess the hardest words so I'm confused by the scoring & for these reasons I am deleting the game now as I have it a fair chance & I'm not very impressed-I think MAYBE younger kids may enjoy it more but as an adult who enjoys word games, this is not one of the better ones. ### 2/5 — Wordcast *2013-02-03, version 3.0.2* Used to LOVE this game until this most recent update. Now it doesn't perform nearly as well; sticks a lot, freezes, gets hung up and doesn't register some words. There is no reason for practice games. What good are these? Waste of time, wish I could get back the version I had before the so called "improved update". Get rid of the changes! ### 3/5 — Could be a great game *2020-06-27, version 3.2.3* There is too much time hesitation in between when you ‘cast’ a word and going on to cast the next word. For a timed game such as this, it should flow immediately and seamlessly. For me that’s a major hiccup. Also, quite a few words that I’ve tried to use that I know are in any basic English dictionary; they are not accepted. Aside from these things, it’s fun. ### 3/5 — Word spell *2015-04-19, version 3.2.2* Game is fun. Challenging to a certain extent. However once you have played it a few times it becomes repetitive. Remaining time could be added as extra points instead of waiting for the time to run out ### 3/5 — Good Update *2014-06-15, version 3.1* Frustrating game as it is designed so that you do not beat it! That, coupled with the American spellings and some of the obscure six letter words make it even more annoying. However, a good brain game and excellent time waster! ### 3/5 — Ok game *2014-05-29, version 3.0.2* I agree with some of the other reviews. Not a great game, but ok. Hard to see the words on the books. One round had HATTER as the big word, but didn't account for THREAT. Still, it's an interesting twist on this type of game. ### 3/5 — Words *2013-03-12, version 3.0.2* Good game with hours of fun, not bad and best of all it's FREE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-03-05, version 3.2.3* Driving my car and still trying to find the missing words, and yes a plethora of stars for solving a game, please! ### 5/5 — Fun and educational *2025-11-28, version 3.2.3* Helps with memory, logic, spelling and attention. ### 5/5 — Game freezes and needs to be reinstalled frequently *2025-05-01, version 3.2.3* I love this game and I’ve been playing it forever but recently it freezes up on me mid game constantly and I need to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it to work again. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-04-13, version 3.2.3* It’s amazing I like this game so much. Easy to use, and fun to play when you need to pass the time. Quite addictive as well. Beautiful, I love it. ### 5/5 — Educational *2023-10-22, version 3.2.3* This game makes me think, I do not use the timer as I like to take my time to figure out words. It is very challenging, I only got all the words one time. ### 5/5 — Can't put it down *2022-12-15, version 3.2.3* Love this game. Only issue is that the words on the books can barely be read. The font is tiny and hard to read, especially on the lighter color books. Maybe the books should have been flat instead of upright. Fix the text size and it would be perfect. Love that you can do practice games on any level and advance. This way you don't have to start at level one all the time. Just wish that when you finished a practice game, you weren't kicked back to the home page but had an option to try again in the practice game. Other additions that would make it better are *Ability to pause/come back to a game in progress *A way to see your Top 5 scores with level *An untimed version that allows advances when you reach the score. Still give it 5 stars though. ### 5/5 — Fun and entertaining *2021-03-07, version 3.2.3* I love this game because it helps to improve my vocabulary and spelling. Very entertaining. Highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Word spell *2021-02-20, version 3.2.3* Challenging and enjoyable. Encourages to do better. ### 5/5 — Brain exercise *2021-02-15, version 3.2.3* Word Spell has become an integral part of exercising my brain following multiple brain stem strokes. I use it nearly everyday in conjunction with other exercises to keep my brain active and has become my favorite. It is really nice to have a “game” which doesn’t require in app purchases to continue using. I commend its developers on such a useful yet entertaining app. ### 5/5 — Happy to find this one *2020-08-27, version 3.2.3* The only game out there that reminds me of word whomp by Pogo. They discontinued it unless you join their game web service. Funny. I can’t join them because my email address is on file as my login on one screen already. But when I try to reset my password it can’t find my login. It’s a flaw in their page programming that they cannot fix. Haha haha.
