Edit - I just noticed that you cannot go to the next row and select a square to put in a letter that you now know is correct. I want to be able to put the correct letters in their proper spots to see if a word jumps out at me. Other such games do allow this. Here you can only start at the very first square to enter a letter. Perhaps the developer could add this functionality in an update. - I had previously installed this app and was happily using it. However something occurred that caused me to delete it, maybe the app froze and the only thing that could be done was to delete it. But when I went to re-install it I found that it was no longer available. So I had to make do with another similar app. However that one has many annoying quirks. Using the “common words” option frequently results in obscure and even non-sensical words. Its handling of duplicates is also confusing. So I was very happy to see this app available again and have found it better organized and displayed. The ads I saw didn’t obscure the keyboard as I read in some other reviews but I paid the minor fee to eliminate the ads. I’m happy to support developers like this one. If you’re looking for a wordle type of app you can’t do better than this. I highly recommend it and am very grateful to the developer for the improvement and continued support of the app.

So far I've come across Jesus, Jesse, James, Peggy and Peter. It's kind of annoying when names are the answer, because names are not acceptable in Scrabble, so I never think of them as possibilities. I did get Jesus correct, simply because there was no other option. But James has too many possibilities when the correct guess is "_A_ES”. If “James” wasn’t an option, I would’ve won that game. Other than that, I do find this app to be one of the better games in the App Store. KUDOS for not requiring a subscription! I will be sending all my family and friends your way, so expect to see more downloads! 👊😁👍Seriously, I do love this app! It's like an alphabet version of "Passcode" or "comp IV", one of the first handheld computer games to hit the market. But please remove the names. If you use "Peggy" and "James", you'd have to include less common names like Vicky, Shena, Avena, Chico, etc. You get my point. Not only are you leaving some people out, but it can mess up players' strategy. We take a chance by guessing a name when it seems a name would fit, but then we'd get a message saying "We do not know this word". So it should be an "all or nothing" catagory, and names are too arbitrary. Just my $0.02. 🙂

I’m editing my earlier review (see below) because the developer fixed my issue within two days of my sending it. She is a goddess! So happy to be able to play it again. Thanks. (Previous review) I uploaded the update yesterday. It is now too big for my screen. (iPhone 7, small - don’t judge!) Only the top row of letters is visible. If you move everything up, tapping on the letters doesn’t work. I tried putting in the word “quote” using just the top line of letters, but couldn’t get Enter to work. I paid to remove the ads at the bottom but that didn’t help. I liked this game more than Wordle because you can play it multiple times a day. But now I can’t play it at all!

This version of this game is straightforward and basically enjoyable. However, there are two problems with the word list: 1) The use of proper nouns, such as “Rhine” and “Paris,” seems counter to the spirit of the game; and 2) The “American English” word list still has British spellings (such as words spelled with the British “re” at the end instead of the American “er”—it’s not a problem per se, but it isn’t an accurate representation of “American” spelling).Also, there is a minor glitch: occasionally, if the app is left open on my iPhone, when I go back into it the screen is blank. I have to either close the game and restart it, or cycle through the Word List options to get it to reappear. Again, not a huge problem, but an inconvenience that impacts play. I do still recommend this app to friends, but with the caveat to look out for proper nouns and British spellings.
