### 4/5 — Challenge but not to frustration

*2020-02-26*

Most word games are too easy to be a challenge, but those that are a challenge are so far outside common usage, I just get frustrated.
This is certainly a challenge and so far solvable.
The format is nice change as well. There are WAY too many word games that are ‘find the words’ from a group of letters.

### 2/5 — Good

### 4/5 — Fun

*2017-06-27*

I enjoy this app, because it does not require intense working of the brain, but it does exercise the brain at the same time. Occasionally pretty tricky. Nothing overwhelming.

### 3/5 — Interesting game

*2017-06-21*

The game runs out of hits really quickly. Overall decent game.
