What's New in Wordly

3.1.1

January 5, 2011

Changed bug reporting. Previous behavior was to ask users to file a bug when the game ends, which resulted in a lot of invalid bug reports for me to sort through. The new behavior is to allow the user to continue when the game finds no words and then if the user finds a word after that, they are given the chance to file a bug report (so I can figure out why the word wasn't found in the first place).

Wordly

I enjoy playing this game but am a bit frustrated since I can no longer see my word list at the end of each game. Even when I played a game that was not top scoring, I used to be able to check the definitions. After a recent update this step has been removed. I hope that gets fixed

Great game but Needs fixed

Love the game but in the help screen it says if you end the game because you're stuck it will show the words you missed. For some reason mine doesn't show them. Would really like to have this show. Please fix!

Fun

Fun word game. It's rather like Scrabble solitaire. It's a good way to get your fix while waiting on your turns to arrive in Words With Friends. :) I agree with the previous comments that its dictionary has some curious ommissions and inclusions--it's certainly not the OSPD. I'd be interested in knowing its source dictionary. However, still a great way to spend a few minutes puzzling out words.

Great app, needs more words

I wanted to give this app 5 stars but it refuses to recognize some words such as Toulouse and California and yet it will recognize Dan and Kat but not Katie and other proper nouns and places.

It is a very addicting app and I find myself spending (or should that be wasting!) hours playing it!

Word Nerd Addict

I've been playing this game ever since I got my iPhone in February. It's a great way to waste ten minutes. And you can't beat the support. I had a problem so I e-mailed the creator and heard back from him the next morning. Then I browsed through his web page and came to realize that he's some sort of genius who seems to have his choice of great jobs. So what're you waiting for, get Word Nerd to go along with your Scrabble and Word Jhong, and you can waste as much time as I do.
