Ads on wordsmith

Several ads are extremely offensive- even to the point words are deleted - remember this is also accessed by children

Also I am very tired of the constant interruptions by pollsters

Excellent for language learners

I use this app to supplement my learning of German. I was amazed at how it has helped me to improve my ability to quickly recognize written German.

As an aside, it would be nice if a mode existed where I could set a limit of words to a game, for example ten. Once the limit is reached, the game would end and post to the high score list if applicable.

Fun, quick, and habit-forming

A fun and easy word play game -- fast, intuitive, and kind of addicting. I use the free version and the ads are no bother, as they appear well away from the playing area.

An improvement I would like to see: a more consistent mix of vowels and consonants throughout the session. It's often difficult to make words of more than one syllable because there aren't enough vowels. Conversely, sometimes there is a screenful of vowels and two consonants.

I don't mind making simple, one-syllable words when the clock is running down, but earlier in the game it would be fun to be able to make longer, more interesting words. This would also increase the game's usefulness as a vocabulary-building tool.

One more thing... it would be nice to play the game in landscape mode. To play in portrait mode I have to unplug my power cable.
