### 1/5 — Sinnlos

*2026-01-21, version 2.0.4*

Anscheinend greift eine KI die Worte sinnfrei aus einer Suchmaschine. Lösung war Borna, eine Kreisstadt. Gültige Worte waren Dorna, ein Ortsteil von Kemberg und Lorna, was selbst eine Suchmaschine nicht kennt. Es gibt wohl eine Band mit Namen Lorna Shore. Aber der Begriff Lorna existiert in der deutschen Sprache nicht.

### 2/5 — Iets is fout

*2025-07-15, version 2.0.4*

Na elke advertensie, om nog ‘n woord te speel, word die nuwe woord gegee, voordat jy kan speel

### 1/5 — Wortel??

*2024-11-05, version 2.0.4*

Why is the word in English??

### 1/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2023-10-19, version 1.0.9*

Die App akzeptiert verschiedene Worte, wie z.B. das Wort GROSS nicht, obwohl dies am Ende als gesuchtes Wort angezeigt wird. Da vergeht einem die Freude am Spiel. Da gibt es Besseres!

### 1/5 — Nonsens

*2022-12-13, version 1.0.9*

Die woord vir vandag was MBCHB???
Wie ookal hierdie app ontwikkel het moet teruggaan na die telentafel toe! Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie. Jammer!

### 2/5 — Wortel is afrikaans

*2022-12-03, version 1.0.9*

Waneer speler nie die woord kan kry nie moet die app die oplassing kan gee

### 1/5 — Non-existent Afrikaans vocabulary

*2022-04-15, version 1.0.9*

Basic Afrikaans words not recognised. Deleting the App.

### 5/5 — Gleich dreimal täglich Spaß

*2022-04-03, version 1.0.9*

Hübsch designte App nach mittlerweile bekanntem Konzept des Worte Ratens, jedoch mit insgesamt drei Spielrunden täglich, und das nicht nur auf deutsch.
