Mr Word Junior Lite – Board Game Review
Mr Word Junior Lite is a Board/Education game from Truncated Tales Limited, first launched in 20th February 2013.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 26+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Mr Word Junior Lite Stand Out
Mr Word Junior Lite challenges you to a word game with added personality.
Based on the wildly popular Mr Word, the Junior version is ideal for beginners, younger players or if English is not your first language, as it features a reduced dictionary of 20,000 words. The slightly smaller board size also makes it even easier to play as it is fully optimised for all iOS devices: iPhone 4/5, iPod Touch, iPad and iPad Mini.
Enter your name to begin. In the Lite version, you are playing against Mr Word himself. Featuring Genuine People Personality, Mr Word will really give you a run for your money.
Mr Word will:
-
match his game to your skill level
-
choose words that a real human would choose, limited in this version to a 20,000 word vocabulary perfect for beginners and younger players
-
respond to your move in seconds – great for rapid fire play
If you make Mr Word think for longer than a few seconds, you are doing really well!
Mr Word will even "spellcheck" your words as you lay them, so you know in advance whether the word you are playing is acceptable.
Stuck for a word? Try the Help! button, a Mr Word Junior exclusive. Mr Word will help you by calculating the best possible word on your behalf. Be warned though, there is a limit of 3 helps per game.
Now with 2 player mode and for the exclusive Define button – instantly brings up word definitions for all words played. In-built dictionary of 20,000 acceptable words, no network access required. Features definitions from Webster's Dictionary and Wiktionary.org so you can learn new words and their meanings every time you play.
Mr Word Junior Lite is minimalist, highly playable and beautifully designed so you can rediscover the joy of word games.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its is one of the most fun game ever it has no adds and you do not have to Wi-Fi to play. You can learn words in a fun special way either against your friend, family, or 1 player which is v.s. The game. Its so much fun to play a game that if you are having trouble on you can just press help, if you need to know what the word means you can just press define, and it will save your spot when you leave the game, and when you come back, if you dont wanna play the game anymore, just press quit. We give this game a review.
This app keeps crashing, it returns to the homepage when we play a word or place a letter tile. We have tried everything we know how to fix the problem but it will not help it. Everything on our end is up to date. Maybe this app needs updating. We are playing this game on our iPad.
We must tell you, we are 80 years old, and ever since we began doing scrabble against the iPad, our mental function has improved immensely.. We are sharper, more focused and have increased our memory ability tenfold. It is amazing. We play it every day and have made our own dictionary of new words. Go go people try it. We assure you, you won't regret the time and effort you put into it when you notice the results.
App freezes at player selection screen.
Ai, qi, & ki are actual words. We wanted this game to teach our 6 year old to play scrabble. There aren't many word games for children. We wanted a boggle more geared toward children. But couldn't find an app for that. This scrabble is great. Thus far he loves playing the game.
We've found that this game doesn't accept a lot of legitimate words that are in the dictionary. Not fun when you're down to a few letters at the end of the game.
Hey, we enjoy the game interface very much. BUT Mr Word gets points for "words" like "ai," "qi" and "ki." What's up with THAT? No fair.
