Ratings and Reviews
Enjoying the app but …….
Very much appreciate this app. Easy to use, although not easy to find all possible words!
Finding some inconsistency when a word is deemed acceptable on one puzzle but is declined on another.
Would be great to learn what words I missed so I can extend my vocabulary but this feature is not available.
Lose the smug and get a new dictionary!
I love these 9-letter word puzzles, so when I run out of new games on Afterword (which is an infinitely better app), I’m reluctantly forced to come back to ‘To the Nines’ for my fix, but oh dear...it’s a struggle. I can forgive the rubbish look and feel, and even the hideously clunky functionality, but - Jeez Louise - those snarky, condescending little comments that appear when you try an ‘unrecognised’ word are THE WORST (“Your letter box is not a bonbon tray”, “Your cat has walked on your keyboard” and so on.) I could even forgive those IF they didn’t appear quite frequently in response to perfectly legitimate, correctly spelt English words! That having been said, I do like the comment “Not in my dictionary!” Yes - I can believe that - you are clearly using some drastically abridged version designed for fourth-graders. I implore you: take the money I’ve spent on this game and treat yourself - and all of us - to a shiny, new, unabridged version of the OED. Or Webster’s. Or even - at a pinch - the Macquarie. Whatever. Just get a proper freakin’ dictionary OR lose the smug. Either way would be grand. Thank you!
Developer Response ,
We wish to warmly support our players’ efforts to spell and come up with valid words. We realize that the timing of our attempts at humour can add frustration, and will consider a timeout on their usage.
We are convinced that our dictionary is quite robust, especially relative to what we see in other games. Best of all, it is “open” and allows anyone interested in improving our app to propose additional words by writing to tech support via our website, so that we can validate & include them. We’ve added a bit of regional character in this way.
Thank you for playing To The 9s and for sharing your thoughts with us.
Really Fun & Helps me learn more words!
This word game is really fun and forces me to use random letter combinations to make new words and learn them.
It really switches on my brain and I feel an indescribable surge of happiness and relief when I find out another word, it’s not too addictive and I would recommend it to literally anyone! 😃
