Love word games? Then Volcano is the game for you. Come to build words in a remote tropical jungle, but be careful not to awaken the volcano! How to play? - Draw lines between the letters to form words and earn points (any direction works). - Each letter in the word has a score. Longer words are worth more points. - Use green letters—they are worth more than regular letters. - Struggling to find a word? Shuffle the board to get new letters. Watch out for hot letters! - A hot letter will melt the letter beneath it at the end of each turn. - To get rid of a hot letter, form a word with it that has at least 3 letters. - If the letter reaches the bottom of the board, you have 10 seconds to form a word with it, or the game ends! What else? - Compete against thousands of players and earn your spot on the leaderboard. - Dozens of achievements to brag about. - View your progress in the game. - Improve your vocabulary in 6 different languages. - The game is available in English, Russian, German, Hebrew, Swedish, and Danish (more languages coming soon). Recommended to play with headphones. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Too many Z and X hot tiles

AWESOMEDUDE?
Honestly this game is a decent replacement for bookworm but it gives flaming Z and X tiles WAY too often, making it very difficult to get past level 6. I’ve only ever scored 7 thousand something. Sometimes you get a flaming z or x in level two and never get any words around it. Pretty frustrating and makes the game alot less enjoyable

Thanks so much for the feedback! You’re absolutely right. Z and X hot tiles were showing up more often than they should, especially in early levels, which made it harder to form words around them.Good news:I’ve completely rebalanced the English letter distribution and hot-tile system, and the fix will be included in the next update. Rare letters like Z, X, Q, and V will now appear far less often, and flaming tiles will be much more fair and manageable.Really appreciate you pointing this out, it helps make the game better for everyone!

Program is odd

There are way too many V’s dropping down, it is impossible to make longer words, unlike Bookworm.

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to write this! You’re right, V tiles were appearing more often than intended in English levels, which made building longer words much harder.This has now been fixed:I’ve updated the English letter frequency table so letters like V, Z, X, and Q appear much less often, closer to their real frequency in English. This adjustment will be included in the upcoming update.Thanks again for the feedback - it helps me keep improving the game!
