WordStorm 4+

I do like a good word game, and this is one of the better ones I've played. The principle is simple, find words made from the letters shown. As a twist, any words have to contain the letter in the middle of the board.

I pretty much have only two annoyances. One, I'd like to be able to see the words and placeholders in the solution grouped by the number of letters. As it is, it's really hard to see how many letters are in any remaining words.

Two, and this really bugs me - the game goes to great pains to point out if you find a word that it considers 'slang or a colloquialism'. For one, it's inconsistent - 'scam' is considered slang, but 'snot' isn't? But also, what does it matter? If the word can be found in the dictionary, it should be valid in a word game.

I play this app a lot. Unlike the other reviewers I like the order of the words as I can tell how difficult words are that I have not yet got. It does miss some common words especially comparatives that end in 'er'. Although it says one option is a British dictionary, I think it just uses British spelling as common British words not used in the US are sometimes not accepted. There are a few obscure words at times.

However, it's one of my favourite games so well done to the developer. It's certainly well worth its low cost.

I have played this game almost every day for years! I love it. It’s not repetitive and it’s challenging.

The only things I would love to see changed are:
- it’s frustrating to have found valid words that aren’t part of the solution. Other similar games reward that sort of thing. It would be great if you could earn hints for other words that you don’t know if you found the extra words
- the percentage found isn’t accurate. It awards higher value to the more common words. I presume this is meant to be encouraging. I would prefer proper values.

Those being said, I’m still addicted and play every day! 😜
