Word-nerdy relaxation
07/24/2022

If you’re a word nerd who finds letter puzzles a relaxing brain break, this game is for you. It is a really beautiful clean interface that combines scored scrabble tiles with the half-hidden mahjong setup. It makes for just enough difficulty, especially in the untimed and word search modes that have limited moves or tiles given. My ONLY issue is that it seems the word-search puzzles are auto-generated, so when I realize I can’t complete the puzzle with the matches I’ve made (I.e. letters I need are still hidden below others) there’s no way to just restart that exact puzzle. Restarting the puzzle loads a whole new one, so I don’t get a chance to try again. Aside from that, I’ve found Im able to complete a moves or word search in less than 3 mins, so it’s perfect for a little downtime before refocusing on life. :) Great, stylish, clever game, devs! Keep it up!

Fun game with bugs

I really enjoy this game but there are some bugs and aspects of the game that can make it hard to play. For example during the “moves” mode I sometimes get stuck with only a few letters left and I can’t make a word with them and no new letters are being loaded in but I still have a few more moves left. Also, this isn’t really a bug, but I wasn’t able to put the word “don’t” in. Obviously there’s no apostrophe but I should still be able to make the word dont… also not a bug but I’ve played many rounds of all of the modes in this game but a lot of the times the letters I get are hard to make words from. When I use the tool where it auto fills a word for you it’s often times a word I’ve never heard of. Yes I’ll admit I need to expand my vocabulary but maybe there’s something that could be done in terms of getting more letters? Maybe a tool where you can replace a letter on the board with a new letter of your choice instead of the tool that just deletes the letter??? I think if some of these tweaks and fixes were made I would be more inclined to purchase the other game modes and play this game more often. But overall I enjoy the concept of the game, the design elements and the cute little sparrows on the home page. Cant wait to see new updates for the game!

Hi thank you so much for your review and feedback! Part of playing this game is being strategic with which words you choose to submit. Planning a few moves ahead by looking at which letters are/will be available is part of the intended gameplay. New letters are only loaded after the top most layer is cleared. I am realizing this last part isn’t entirely clear and I will update the tutorial to explain how that works.Swapping or replacing letters is a pretty neat idea that I hadn’t thought about! I definitely think it’s an ability worth exploring for future updates.

Great game but one bug

Before I get into it, I must say I really like this game. I’ve played both mahjong and Scrabble, so this game was a pleasure to discover. One issue with the game is that you can use an exploit to continue a “moves” game infinitely.When the game ends, if you close out of the app in the scoring screen, then re-enter the game, the game will count it as leaving the game, so it will prompt you to resume it. Doing this over and over will allow you to reach negative numbers of moves and infinite points.That’s just the bug I wanted to point out. It’s not like I need it to be fixed, I was just writing a review to point this out.

Thank you so much for the review! I will have to patch that bug, however.

Lovely word game

Really nice word game that feels like I can replay it over and over. I think the game looks very clean and have been enjoying the different modes. It would be 5 stars for me, but it took me a moment to figure out how to get to the exit game in a few modes because the settings icon that it’s under disappears. You can still tap the top right corner where it was in other modes, so you won’t get stuck, but nothing is there. That and some of the word search themes don’t seem to be working. Like the theme for oceans gives you mountain names and other categories give you random words. Doesn’t break the experience necessarily, the puzzle mechanics still work, just seems broken. Overall I think the game is easy to pick up and I like the extra details, like the tile sounds and haptics.

Hey, thank you so much for your review! I hadn't realized the Word Search themes weren't working anymore. Thanks for pointing that out. And I'll add a clarification for the gear icon in the tutorial.
