Updated 23 Oct 3019They fixed the scoring issue within 48 hours! These guys are the best. Any who likes this game, but isn’t willing to pay $6 a year to support the developer is nuts. Or spoiled rotten. Five stars! Updated 19 Oct 2019Removing one star: when returing to game while it's still open in multitasking, it doesn't save the score, but behaves as if whatever words you find are the first ones (even if you already have dozens). Will add a star back when this is fixed.And I should also point out, that while the developer has been very responsive, the website contact page is broken. But they may be also responding to email. Original review (after previous update): As of the latest update, I find this app to be back to the reasons I used it for so long (at least three years now). They fixed the non-saving problem while still open. They also notified me that they were doing it. I see that they now have some kind of subscription model. And while I can certainly understand that, it should have been more clear in the update info. But it's worth the annual subscription for me to play this.And I need to add that I had downgraded my rating to three stars, due to a new crash when replay option was used. The developer fixed that within 24 hours! This was the second time they responded to a compaint with a quick update. Five stars. Recommended for those who like acrostic hidden word games.

Your WORDLY app is excellent brain exercise. It runs very smoothly without glitches or freezing, which allows for good concentration. It helps your brain to move quickly and fluidly. If you practice, you can quickly see that you are improving , which not only is intrinsically rewarding , but compels you to try harder!I think one of the best aspects of your app is the feedback it gives informationally. When you finish a game it gives you a score, the number of words you have produced, and what percentage of all available words that represents. Best of all, it shows you a list of all the possible words that were available to be composed from the letter grid. If you spend a few minutes studying this list each time, you will find that the words available in your mind and on each successive look at a new game grid enlarges!Of the various word games I have tried in app form, this is the absolute best! MRMPS:And the fact that it can be played in just a few minutes allows a person, who wants to challenge themselves and exercise their brain, to use it frequently …even if, as we all do, they have a busy life.

I have been looking for a game that would occupy some down time. I have never looked at this type of game, I don't like crossword puzzles and am a bad speller. Yet this word puzzle is my go to game on my iPhone. It has improved my spelling. I can do it with not WiFi or data connection. If you can't find all the words in one sitting you can minimize the app without Force closing it and your game remains. I also like that one may turn off the timer. Thanks

I love word-search games, but this developer lacks attention to detail, hasn't offered a *meaningful* update in years, and the game has serious issues:1. Game progress isn't saved. When I leave the game and later return, everything is lost, and I'm forced to start a new game. This is simply inexcusable.2. Game uses a very bizarre dictionary, including archaic words and even acronyms like "emf," which aren't words at all (and should be capitalized as "EMF"). Yet—common acronyms like "EMT" are rejected!Acronyms are not words and should be disallowed all together. But be consistent: Either allow ALL acronyms (problematic) or disallow all. Which is it?3. No way to *alphabetize* words we've found, which would make it easier to review the list.4. Display hasn't been updated for larger iPhones, so there's ugly, blank space above and below the game. What's it been now? 4 years?5. Outdated user interface still uses buttons from iOS 3 or 4, which have been passé for years.6. Can't access settings without clearing the game. 7. Can't save a game to replay another time.8. There are two buttons for sending feedback, which is redundant, and the buttons have different icons. (A minor issue, but untidy.)I would LOVE to see this game become what it could be, and I hope the developer will take the time to improve it. :-)
