So much fun

I have always played this game with friends but haven’t been able to find an online version of it but finally there’s one now! I love how competitive it is and how easy it is to set up games with groups. However I gave this one less star because
A) I hate it that inside the game, picking up any letter from the left tries to swipe the page to the screen before it- causing a complete loss of time within the game. This happens way too often and seems like a bug easy enough to get fixed
B) The hard version of the computer is not hard enough, I wish there was something that was more challenging than that level
C) Unfortunately when playing with someone with a slower connection, there seems to be a clear winner because by the time you’ve seen the letter, another person would’ve already made a word. I wish there was a back system that made it appear at the same time for all users? A lot of times I’m making a word and I get the word but still it goes away since perhaps the backend system realized there was a slight timing tie. This is clearly an hard to test issue but just bringing it up here if you can help solve it!

Super fun

I love playing word finder games online and this phone version hits the spot exactly! I play it pretty much every day with my friends. The UI is really intuitive and the randomness gives the same feel as Bananagrams which makes for a fun and competitive experience. Highly recommend to anyone who loves word finder games that aren’t totally mindless :)

Best word game out there

Intense and a ton of fun to play with friends

Sooo intense

A great game for competitive groups of friends. Flip over letters one by one, create words from those letters, and then steal words from your opponents by adding a letter to it. Each game is quick — just a few minutes — but it is easy to spend an hour in the thick of it, playing game after game.

Sooo fun and addicting

Insanely fun word game to play remotely with friends. Once you start a game it's difficult to put it down! Have definitely played the game by myself too 🤣. Super easy to learn and the illustrations are super cute.
