User Reviews and Ratings
★★★☆☆Layout
I really love this game so much. I spent money on it just to get the app. However, I despise that you can only play the game in landscape mode. I feel like you should have the option to choose portrait or landscape. This is very annoying because literally nothing else on my phone is in that direction. And I just don’t like it.
★★★☆☆Great but small wordlist
The app is well made and works very well. However, the word list is extremely, extremely small. You will see multiple repeats within just a few games.
★★★★☆Good
I like the game but I wish there was an option to play against or with the computer. It gets frustrating waiting on others. Sometimes I just feel like playing
★★★★★Great game!
This is a great game for adults and older children. Making them think hard and a brain teaser.
★★★★☆Need Time Limit
I read in the reviews that matches take a long time to complete because you can potentially wait days for other players to take their turn. They are right. The developers could install a timer to encourage active engagement but it might just result in more forfeited games. Overall, it’s fun but I prefer playing in person. I would buy the real game and play with people you know. It’s more fun when you know how to connect with people based on your shared experiences and memories together.
