Good Word Game
Not too easy, not too hard. Love it
Great game for fans of the Bee
I’ve played this game regularly since it first launched (so many years ago). It’s comparable in my mind to NYT Bee, but you can’t use the letters more than once.
Best word game out there
Hands down Wordstorm is the best word search game out there. I’ve been playing this one for years now. It can be difficult, but if you can’t get it, there is a surrender flag, that populates all the words you’re missing.
Great concept, well executed.
Thanks

Good game but…
I like this game, but this guy seems to think every word in the English language is slang. What does it matter if it’s slang? It’s still a valid word in the dictionary. It’s very frustrating!
Great game in need of a dictionary update
Delightful little brain burner which has given me likely hundreds of hours of joy at this point. It’s held back only by what feels like an old fashioned dictionary in need of updating. When “buss” is considered the most common word on the grid (a word I’ve never encountered in my life) something is wrong, and many other seemingly valid words simply aren’t recognised.
I would also prefer that scoring be weighted towards the less common and therefore harder words, or just evenly distributed, but I can see why the developer made the choice they did.

Perfect Simplicity
I love this game for its purity and lack of drama. My partner and I both play individually through the day and then collate our words to see how high we can get the score. My only issue was how small the words were when I changed to a new phone, but from the update note on here, I realised I could pinch to zoom, which solved the problem. Don’t change a thing - this app is great.

Entertaining & educational
I love this game. Keeps me thinking. One thing I’d like to see added is the ability to sort found words alphabetical so I can easily see if I already found the word.

FIXED - Thank you for the prompt response.
==============
I’ve been playing this game regularly since 2012, but the latest update seems to have removed the ability to change the size of the font which is now fixed at an extremely uncomfortable to read large size … please correct

Text size now restored so I can now change font size. Thank you. ☺️
I discovered years ago you can change the text size by double tapping the screen. That’s very handy. This morning the font got changed inadvertently. Unfortunately it seems to be stuck on the largest font and I can’t change the font size. 🫤 Can you please help?

WordStorm changes
For the past 13 years my wife and have enjoyed wordstorm, but no more.
Like all software writers the world over you have lived up to the motto: “ if it isn’t broken we will fix it until it is”.
Shame on you for taking a good thing and ruining it.
If you don’t put it back to it’s original format I’m done!

Change the font size back!
Love this game and play it every day. But recently the font size has changed and it’s VERY BIG - far too big in my opinion. There seems to be no way of adjusting it either now. Please bring the old style back…
Font size huge!
Been playing this game daily for years and love it but since the latest IOS update the font size is huge and I can’t change it. Makes it really hard to see now! Please fix 🙏
Great game but has two issues
I love this brain teaser, but I don’t understand why it says something like “It’s a valid word but it’s not in our list”. That doesn’t make sense. It’s telling me that I’m correct, but I won’t get points for it.
I also don’t understand the scoring system. A word with 6 letters can get a score of 3 points, and a word with 4 letters can score 6 points. And it’s not using rare letters like Q or X, etc.

New version worse. Can’t adjust font size of words and they are too big for iPad screen. Definitely ruins it for me. Disappointing!
I love this game but ………
I play this game every day until at or above 70, but the scoring is not by percent. It is an arbitrary number based on difficulty with the easy words getting more points than the harder words. Ex. I was at 65% got three of the more difficult words as shown by their placement in the bottom of the list and have a new score of 68%. 3/35 total words should have added 8.5% to the score. Why not just assign each word 2.9%?

Frustrating word list
I like this game and play a lot (you can go back to years of puzzles) but it’s so frustrating because the developer’s word list is full of weird and archaic words and it doesn’t accept common really good ones. There is no way to get a hint if you get stuck and if you “admit defeat” it boos you! Then you reveal the “common” words you missed and they’re lame like beavering, rowel, bravi and inwove. Meanwhile it tells you that half the dictionary is slang and not valid, like binge and soccer. Many times I’ve found really good long words and it says it’s a valid word but not on the list and then I’m supposed to find these nonsense words that even my spell check has never heard of. I got it a day that it was free but I would be annoyed if I had paid for it. Needs work.

Unsatisfactory
Far too many legitimate words are not accepted, either because they’re slang or colloquialisms, or because they are simply not recognised – very discouraging! 😢🙄
Can’t be both right and wrong
I started playing last month. I really began to enjoy the challenge of increasing my monthly average. Then I noticed I was repeatedly getting the reply that the word was VALID but not one of the solutions. Annoying, but not a disqualifier. What has me ready to delete the app altogether is that I have two correct solutions that use ALL the puzzle letters but trigger absolutely NO RESPONSE. I see the developer has many apps. Quality is better than quantity.

Update your word list
I dont know where you got your word List from but so many actual words are marked as colloquial or not words when they actually are.
35 most common words?? No
The description says the solution will be 35 most common words that can be made from the 9 letters. That is never true. There will always be a few everyday words that are not part of the solution and a couple very unusual words. I’m sure that’s meant to make the puzzle hard, but it makes the description and instructions false. I’d give it more stars if it were truthful with the player.
