Ratings and Reviews
Totally addicted
I really like the jumbo packs as they really challenge your word knowledge, and take time to solve as I try not to use the hints. There are some puzzles which use words and phrases which we don't use here in the UK ( though mum was from OZ which helps with those) so then I do a bit of internet research and then try again later. So learn something new along the way, such as different food and culture. I wish there were more free daily shuffles so I could build up points to get the packs much quicker, and more packs please as I am running out!
Come back to it recently after a few months and am still enjoying it.

Good fun but maybe some cultural hitches
I really enjoy this game, 99% of the time. Occasionally it can be a bit uneducated. For example, in the jumbo pack there is a level called 'Piano Recital'. Hardly any of the words are specific to a piano recital - they could refer to any instrument in any context; and I don't think there has ever been a symphony played at a piano recital, so what is that doing there?
It is very American, so you have to think questions like 'What do Americans call a tap?' 'How do Americans spell 'colour'' before you know what you are looking for.
But all in all, a game that is well put together and quite addictive. For example, it frequently resizes itself so nothing goes off the edge out of sight; and if you find a correct word with the wrong pieces it will flash so you know to persevere with other constructions of the word. Well worth getting, in my view.
My favourite game!
I love this game! But I wish each puzzle had a difficulty rating so I could choose one and it not be really easy. I also wish you could see what was in each puzzle pack before you purchased them (content/difficulty rating would be really useful here).
If there was a little bit of tweaking to this game it could be even better! But it is my favourite app none the less. I just wish you could play more than 2 puzzles a day before you have to buy more.
