ADDICTIVE—BEWARE!
Be warned! Most players develop a severe case of just-one-more-word-itis!
You will be constantly living between the pride and joy of finding a word and the disbelief dozens more remain hidden because we always tell you how many words remain to be discovered in the letter pyramid.
When you have done your best and end the game, we show you the full list of words. Then you can send your letter pyramid to your friends and challenge them to do better. We include the letter pyramid image and your score right in the message, so your friends can play with or without the app! Sweet revenge is now yours as they pull their hair out and can’t resist the urge to beat your score!
FEATURES
● Easy to pick up, hard to put down.
● Play for a minute or play for hours.
● Relaxed mode—No time limit.
● Timed mode—How many can you find in three minutes?
● Soothing music—You’ll appreciate it … really.
● Night mode—Play at night without hurting your eyes.
● Challenge your friends by Game Center, Facebook, Twitter or email!—they will get to play the exact same letter pyramid and try to beat you, whether or not they downloaded the game! (see note below)

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Been playing this game for several years. We are so glad that it still functions. We love the lexicon, it's huge – your word choices are not limited like they are in most word games.
Its a really addicting game. The music is nice and relaxing . We love that you can take as much time as you want to finish the game in relaxing mode.
This has now become our favorite word game.
1) Used to be our very fav game. New version is just irritating and not nearly as much fun or satisfying. 2) THEY FIXED IT!! Now just as fun as before. 5/28/18.
This has quickly become one of our favorite word games. We love the fact that you can play in silent, low-stress mode. It's also great that you can exit a game whenever you want, and move on to the next one. It doesn't require you to purchase hints if you're stuck. You can just bail out and start a new game. Love it.
We're loving this game so far it's a great way to past the time and having fun.
Enjoy the challenge. Different than other word games. More challenging and demanding. Simple to learn. Not so simple to get 100%. Come and go play is perfect for us.
We enjoy the game options, however tapping the box that offers free hints for viewing has not worked in years. We tried deleting and downloading the game again and it still doesnt work. Also, we have to mute our phone to stop the music. Even when it is supposed to be muted through the game option, there is volume.
This is the perfect fit for all. Different games challenge different levels and skills. Love it.
Fun finding words, but frustrating to have to use so many hints to find a word.
Easy to learn and play. Fun way to learn new words and to challenge yourself.
We like this game……with this game u learn words that u didn't even know we're words.
Nice game but the app gets stuck when viewing the the words when you finish and you cant get back to play another game.
We love this game and have been playing for years. In the last few weeks it resets and makes us start over. It doesnt do this on our iPad (only iPhone). Please fix this! Thank you.
We love this game but it hasnt worked properly for years. We cant purchase hints or shuffles and when we go to buy it kicks us out of the game & we have to start over. Last update was 6 yrs ago. NOTHING was fixed. Please fix this game.
You don't get to watch any videos for perks anymore. We haven't played this game in almost a year and decided to return to it because we use to be addicted to it. Now it's just an okay game to pass time.
Youll never find all of the words because there are a lot of archaic and obscure words. There are some foreign words and its hard to determine which foreign words would be accepted and which ones wouldnt. Its inconsistent. We prefer a sense of accomplishment by actually completing a puzzle, but its virtually impossible to do. The concept is great, but it would be more fun if the list of words was more practical and it only used the more commonly used American English words, if AE is the setting thats been selected.
We enjoy playing this game. You discover words you never knew, and add to your vocabulary on the way. A great pastime.
Great mental exercise and fun game. Really addictive.
We like this game so much we bought the ad free version. It's not five stars because one of the previous versions had the total amount of points you can earn in the game and we like that more than the total amount of words you can find. Also when you come back to a game sometimes, the bonus stars sometimes doesn't work. It blanks out. ALSO, a big minus one star is the fact that it still suggests we share our score with our friends even though we bought the paid version. Take that off! It's an extra button we have to push that we wish we could just turn off. But overall, this is our favorite app game.
Really enjoy this game whether we have a few minutes or many.
Great app! Helped us keep up our spelling during winter break.
Great way to shape your mind we love this game we play it for hours.
Love this game! Challenging with different versions. Provides words you missed along with definitions. Glad three shuffle was brought back.
Favorite of over a dozen word games we have tried. Play it almost daily.
It's very addictive and improves one's knowledge of words. Try it – you'll love it.
Relaxing game, semi challenging but overall not bad.
Great game! Love the challenge.
Really challenges you to find more words.
The game is fun and makes you think.
Very fun! Gets your brain working.
We love word games and have tried many. This is our favorite. We play it everyday.
A fun but stimulating game. Great brain exercise.
We love this game.we enjoy playing it.
It's a pretty fun game. Really gets you thinking about words. We play it on our breaks at work. It's a great way to kill time.
Love this game. Keeps the mind sharp.
We love this game! It's fun and challenging when you play against the clock.
Good game, and challenging. Sometimes it is hard to believe that there are so many words left to find. Easy to play, and pick up where you left off.
Word Spot is great fun to play. Learn new words every day. Great to play with friends.
It is challenging and you can learn new words as well. Definitions help you learn as well. We love the game.
We appreciate the different modes of play, the shuffle, the hints, and the list of all possible words. It keeps the brain working.
Very fun game! Relaxing but also a challenge.
Great game to keep on your phone or pad for filling time. Easy to start up where you lift off.
Great game & never gets boring. Keeps our mind thinking.
This is a very good game to keep your mind keen. Very enjoyable and you can set it down for a while and come right back to it.
Really enjoy playing this game but we've had to reinstall it several times as it keeps crashing.
Word spot is fun for both of us and keeps us mentally sharp.
Fun especially while our husband is watching football! Thanks.
Great way to pass time and learn new words.
This game uses the Boggle-type word creating to come up with words of 3+ letters. It can be played against the clock or in a relaxed mode. We like it because it constantly challenges us to think outside the box(es). The letters are staggered, rather than in a row, which is what makes it different. We play against the clock, just because we like a game that takes just a few minutes to play. We recommend it for anyone who loves playing with words. Even fairly young kids (as long as they can read) can play, although they most likely won't get many words.
