Ratings and Reviews
Great word search game
LOVE this game! I’ve been playing it for 3+ years. However, why are certain words omitted? Example: America isn’t on the list, but Japan and Peru are? And please add mastodon.
Good but Flawed
I enjoy this game and it would be 5 stars except for some annoying things.
First, the sound keeps disappearing at random times. The only solution I can find is to delete app from phone, then download from cloud again. Then the sound returns. But then goes away again in another day or two.
Second, the swiping of letters can sometimes be VERY annoying as they don't respond properly or quickly. Slows you down as you're playing.
Third, their dictionary of words is highly suspect. Some real words are not there at all.
But the game recognizes other words that definitely are not words at all. Especially some that are all consonants. It seems to sometimes use proper names, abbreviations, and odd slang expressions, etc. For example, how can things like "cgb" or "trw" or "xtc" or "nps" be words? I've seen dozens of so-called words like this in this game.
The game is still fun and challenging overall, but these 3 issues really hurt its rating.
Jks
This is the best version as you can change the length of the minimal letters in a word. However, it would be useful to be able to continue a game past the time limit, just to see the possibilities.
Also, it would be helpful to be able to shuffle when it is inconvenient to shake,such as with an iPad
I play against my self so I don't care about competition. I want the game to add to my vocabulary and not just be a addictive way to spend time.
This version does not appear to be in the AppStore, which is sad as the others won't let you eliminate the boring 3 letter words
