Fun, addictive, with a bug

Way too addictive!
There is a bug preventing one from guessing a proper noun and yet I have gotten stuck in games without end where the word was clearly “Hebrew,” “Muslim,” or “Mormon.”

Some words ARE unknown

I enjoy the game but have discovered the occasional “buggy” word—my guesses lead to a specific word but the game does not let me enter that word. Two examples are “rape” and “Cuban”. For “rape” I got 4 correct letters for “pear”, “pare”, “reap”, and “aper”; 3 X’s for “rapt” and “tape” but was prevented from entering “rape”.

Fun😍

Not as good as Synonymy, but still fun for wordophiles like me.

Elegantly simple.

I can see it having real educational value.

BRILLIANT

Brilliant experience, can’t get enough…. definitely worth the download.
