### 1/5 — Offensive words

*2021-06-12*

The starting tiles formed a very offensive word.  And, no, I will not repeat it but I do have a screenshot of it.  Who do I report this too?

### 1/5 — Please Bring back…

*2021-05-17*

Please bring back the original word up!! Please.

### 1/5 — I don’t like the lack of knowledge in words.

*2020-01-16*

Typed in 4 common words that aren’t acceptable. 
I did not know shoe was gibberish.
What do I live in? 
Your answer would not be the word “home”.

### 2/5 — Needs a real dictionary

*2019-04-10*

A number of words that numerous other word games recognize are Invalid in this version. The background is annoying with the other interface elements, though perhaps that's just a matter of the red/green color deficiency that I and about 8% of other males have. The ugly interface control buttons, ad box and menu trees make this and their other apps feel low rent and "lather, rinse, repeat" in nature. I'm still looking for Wurdle and Word Warp replacements after they were abandoned and no longer work on current iOS versions. This doesn't make the cut at all, frankly.
