This game is the only games I’ve paid for to unlock the full version! I love this game so much, my favorite mode is the puzzle mode but the others are fun too! I play the puzzle mode every night before bed as my unwinding time! It’s fun, straightforward, and not frustrating! I like trying to beat my high score but even when I can’t it’s one of the few games I don’t get frustrated with and will continue to play! It’s a very easygoing game, and I love the simplicity of the interface! The only suggestion I have is (in the puzzle mode) it would be soooo nice to have like at least one shuffle per game because sometimes the letter that pop up are all consonants or all vowels together and it’s impossible to make a word!! Other than that, It’s perfect! Love it!!

This game has been amazing for the money spent. I have no issues with spending money on well-developed games that don’t abuse users through any timers or other gross tactics. Big fan of this game as well as Flip Flop Solitaire, another implementation of paid add-ones I was happy to pay for. 1 suggestion for my use-case: I live in NYC and frequent the subway. As such, I’ve discovered that the game is reliant on the internet to just open. I assume this is for the challenge and scoreboard systems to work and update properly. Would it be possible to be able to play offline in a future update, for just such an environment as the subway with no internet access?

I am addicted to this game! I’m an avid reader, love words and enjoy adding new ones to my vocabulary. If you play the game often, it’s definitely worth paying for the ad free version. My favorite game is Zen in the expanded menu. There’s no time limit and I find it very relaxing. This isn’t a “word search” where you look for a list of words. It’s up to you to put the letters together in any connected, random way possible to make a word. I’m from the States but I love all the Scottish words in the dictionary. Try it - I hope you enjoy it as much as I. Thank you to the creator!

I tend to be bad at these kinds of word-connect games, but I gave it a try anyway. It didn’t take me long to learn how to play, which is great. I love the chill background music and simple graphics. Some things could be tweaked, in my opinion. Like when completing a word, the pop up is too quick for me to read. But I didn’t encounter any bugs. I love that it seems like you just pay once to unlock the full game. No subscriptions or sounds to buy, as far as I can tell. So if you’re into word games like these, I’d suggest giving it a try!

I didn’t get into these word games and variations until I paid the small fee to unlock all options. THEN I started getting into the daily competitions for one thing. I play almost every day. I usually manage to get in the top scores but I have a long way to go before I feel good about how I play. It’s trickier than I first thought. One variation can be played for hours if you desire. It is well designed and I appreciate the competition.

I have played word games before and I usually delete them after a couple days. This one I have been playing for weeks now. Catch me on the leaderboards! To the developer: I think it would add more depth to the game if you added a new move option for the player. As of now, we can either spell a word or add a row. If we could spend a turn to swap the position of two adjacent letters, we could combo together even crazier words!! What do you think??

I would like to buy this app (less than the price of a latte right?) but I would like to suggest one thing. We need an undo button! My solitaire game has it. I’m playing on my phone and my finger has spelled a different word than I was intending quite a few times now. I could have gotten a better score if I could redo the word I was trying to spell. But once you lift your finger that’s it. Thanks for the game.

There have been instances when I will have a word that is the unabridged Merriam Webster dictionary that is not accepted by this app. This is really annoying when playing Daily Search to learn this after having already played the first word. There should be a way to undo the first word if the second word is not accepted.

Fun game, but a few frustrations are making me wonder whether I’ll play much more. From minor to major: I wonder why sometimes it takes so long to show standings for the daily games. It’s often days behind. The ads can be a bit much. If not for the other issues, I’d probably buy my way out of the ads. The game just freezes for a few seconds pretty often - at launch, switching between game modes, starting a game. I mainly play on an iPad Pro, so it’s not exactly a a slow device. The absolute worst thing, though, is this: several times in Daily Search mode I’ve make a short word on my way to making a longer word, and even though I haven’t lifted my finger, the game will take that short word. And that’s it - no undo. Game ruined. Streak cut short. I’ve come close to rage-deleting the app when that happens.

I love word games, because I find them relaxing. Because I play them to relax, I typically don’t play against others, and I don’t play with timers or time limits. With this in mind, there’s really only one option in this game to play: Tower. Tower is enjoyable enough; however, it is not exactly for people who like to challenge themselves. There are a few “bonus” letters (X, Z, Q, and J) in virtually every board. Naturally, I like to try to challenge myself with those letters first. The problem is: the boards rarely provide enough letters surrounding these bonus letters to do much. I’m so tired of playing versions of “sex.” Other times, I can see terrific word possibilities — only to be missing one or two vital letters. This happens way too often to be coincidence. If you’re satisfied with making a lot of words with 3, 4, and 5 letters, you might enjoy this game. I will keep looking for other similar games that do provide the opportunity to challenge my word knowledge.

One of the many drawbacks to this game is the lack of ability to challenge words. If the word isn’t in the games knowledge base, it doesn’t work. I’ve challenged a word, been denied and lost a turn, only to open up my dictionary and find the word right there in black and white. Outside of that, the game is okay, except for when it doesn’t sync the previous day challenges, or freezes when it is trying to load a puzzle. And that doesn’t begin to touch the surface on ads.

The feature that allows you to challenge a word is completely broken. Every single time I challenge a word, it says “Sorry, *Word* is not a word!” I have, on numerous occasions, checked the dictionary, and sure enough, the word I am challenging is indeed a word. I am so close to deleting this game because of this issue. I do really enjoy the game though, and this is the only reason keeping me a higher review. Fix this issue, and maybe add an undo button, and this is a five start game. Oh and the ads are often too long. A thirty second ad after every few words is excessive.

I played the free version for awhile to make sure I enjoyed it, then bought the paid version. Now when I’m playing in puzzle mode, all of the sudden almost every new row of letters has tiles that require using 5-6 tiles to form a word. I get the challenge, and enjoy it, but when the rows build up with only consonants that require that many letters, it’s actually impossible to do. Instead of a fun challenge, it becomes a frustration and makes the game end much sooner than my games ever did in the free version. I hate that I spent money on a game that I’d rather just delete now.

For some reason this developer feels entitled to charge you for an ad-free experience but also to phone home and spam you in the same apps advertising his other products. I was informed of this app by a huge, unavoidable ad chyron at the top of the Flip Flop app that I payed for (which, BTW, I can’t share—have to purchase for each device). I find that absolutely infuriating and will never give this developer another dime. I don’t understand why the developer feels he is entitled to more control of my device than I am and how he justifies lying about what are very, very clearly ads. He doesn’t even have the respect to give you the option of turning this “feature” off. Aside from aesthetic issues, there are very real privacy concerns. The only way my app can know the dev has a new product to hawk is if it is in constant contact with its creator. A game unconnected to an ad network has no business phoning home at all,ever—it is at the very least stealing your data for its own transmissions and very likely your personal info. Who knows what info the developer is collecting, how he stores it, and who he sells it to. Unfortunately, you can’t believe anything he says because he’s already established himself as a liar who will use you for his own ends.
