Play button

I love this game in every way, except it keeps looking the play button in the fade out position so I am unable to play when it is my turn. I guess I’m going to forfeit games because of this. I would change my review to 5 if th this is corrected.

Please add a tile bag and this would be perfect

This is by far the best scrabble app out there, no ads or garbage you’ll find on the popular scrabble type games, closest to actual scrabble rules/board layout. I’ve played over 300 games. This would easily be 5 stars if we could get a tile bag. It feels like it should be so simple to add and it’s frustrating to feel like I need to use a solver app or literally keep track of every tile with pen and paper.

Please fix bot issue

Great game me and my whole family play it. Wish there was an option to pay a yearly fee for no ads. Also, recently the bots stopped playing and accepting request not sure what happened.

Great app, but add Blocks

Had the app for over a year and love the simplicity. My only gripe is the lame-turds who cheat. I wish there was a block list so when I select a random opponent I don’t get re-stuck with the same player that plays three 7-letter obscure words in their first three turns.

For the cheaters, I’ll just keep passing, you can play by yourself…

Love this app

I really love this app and I’m glad I found it. They have a great feature where you can go back and see what the max points were that you could have scored (and its associated word) for every turn you took in the game. Bots are hard! I’ve lost as many games against them as I’ve won. I enjoy the option to play as a standby, and the fact that they rank the standbys according to how actively involved they are in the game (i.e., you rank more highly if you are responsive and take your turns in a reasonable amount of time).

This week, the bots feature hasn’t seemed to be working. My requested games have timed out after two days, and the bot never accepts the game. I’m confused about that. Think it needs an update.

Overall, though, I’m hooked and it’s a nice way to stay connected to my son while he’s in college, because he can come back to it as his schedule allows. There really aren’t any ads, and the software is solid – – it doesn’t crash or fail, so you can easily pick up games where you left off.

You can play 10 games for free to get a sense whether or not you like it, and then subsequent games are very cheap – – five dollars for 50, and you earn extra tokens by accepting standby games, which also don’t cost anything to play. Definitely possible to stay engaged and only play for free. Thanks, Word Zero!
