Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game has been a daily pleasure for many years! It challenges our mind and amuses us with the changing background! It is the first game we play each day! Thank you for designing this game.
We love this game and play it pretty much every day. We especially enjoy the Daily Challenge feature it gives us the incentive to keep our vocabulary skills sharp as well as our abilities to see word patterns and strategize for higher scores and extra turns.
Have been playing this for years. We always start our day with the challenge. When the new update was installed we have not been able to use. Please update , we really love this app. Thank you, Mimi.
Have played this game for years. Hope you keep updating for new systems. Fun for about everyone. Just got a 7 & 12 yr old playing.
Please update this so iOS 10 users can play on the iPhone 6 and 6 plus. We love and respect Funkitron for there amazing games for the iPhone.
This game is fantastic. The gameplay is great, and the challenge increases at just the right pace. The power-ups were well-planned and are extremely helpful. Is it strange to say that our absolute favorite part of the game is the owl's expressions as you play? We love when he's happy that you got a good word. We love that when you hit "shuffle" he does a little dance. We love that when you're thinking of a word, he also has a pensive look on his face. We even love that if you start a word and then back out, he looks slightly annoyed for a moment. If we were to make one suggestion, it would be to make the music somehow loop into itself so that it could be an ongoing track. It's a little distracting that the song plays through, stops, then starts again. We really like the music, but we've turned the sound off because when a song has a beginning and an end, it seems to give our brain more of a sense of just how long we've been playing, and it makes us anxious. We'd rather just while away the hours with this addictive game without being reminded that we have other things to do. In short, we love this game!! And if that cute owl makes an appearance in another app, or say, on a T-Shirt, you just let us know! :).
We love playing this game – we go back to it again and again! It's fun, it challenges us and keeps our brain working, word-wise. It's also relaxing – we don't feel like we have to rush with it. Thank you, Word Bird Supreme.
This game is great. It is fun and challenging. It's really satisfying when you manage to create a really long word. With multiple modes of gameplay, including daily challenges, it's never boring. You can even pause a game if you need to come back to it later. Plus, the little owl is so cute! Even when he furrows his brow if you make a mistake.
It is very entertaining! Some days it's super hard and that is the best.
This by far is a great game for almost any age. We say almost because u do need to know how to spell (at least a lil lol) to get further using the least amount of words. We gives you a daily challenge you can play. Love this game.
Fun and a great way to keep your brain flexible. We really like this.
Fun and challenging. And no annoying need to connect to a social network.
Fun without bloodsucking competition. Supreme of all the word games.
Only word game we've kept on our phone.
We love word bird supreme- is very addictive and challenging! We play it on our computer most of the time and on our phone to kill time away from home. The only other game as addictive and challenging is Bookworm, but they each have their own special features that set them apart from each other. The phone app version to us is not as fulfilling as the computer version but still great! We wish there was a way to sync up the two- that would be awesome! Long time player, and still not bored!! A+ in our opinion.
Love this game, only one we paid to have on our notebook, danced in glee to get it on our phone too.
This is our favorite game online. We wait for the next days challenge, and love it.
Endlessly entertaining. Flawless fun.
We love this game. Fun , easy but keeps the mind going.
Love this game, even at over 1/2 hundred , we are terrible at spelling and this has really sharpened our skills. Great game to help kids learn and have fun at the same time.
Our all-time favorite app! We play it every day. Love the daily challenges too! A+.
This is by far the best word game we've found this year. Never boring as some word games get. The Daily Challenge keeps it fresh.
We can waste a lot of time playing this.
Great game – good way to expand vocab.
Very fun and addicting. The daily challenge is our favorite. For some reason it doesn't accept "sex" as a word.
Kit is a great game. We love it.
Challenge is king Gets better the longer you play.
This is a very fun game. It is interesting and challenging. We love that you can access definitions for any unfamiliar words. It's easy to keep it fresh because you can switch out power ups as you unlock them. Great game.
Can't stop playing this game. Totally addictive.
This is a fun game that we play almost daily. Difficulty level and time it takes to play a game (about 15 minutes) is just right. Would recommend if you like word games.
This is a great word game! It's challenging but fun to play.
We're totally addicted changing the power ups keeps it exciting.
We are totally addicted to this game.
A real brain teaser loads of fun.
This game is so much fun! Love the daily challenge, the power-ups you unlock, and the look of the game. We're hooked.
Fun and addicting….our current favorite word game app.
A fun word game with owls–what could be better? :).
We really like that this is single player and un-timed. It makes it more relaxing than other word games. We'd buy a better dictionary if they ever made that for in-app purchase but at this price the dictionary is just fine.
This game is great to pass the time while waiting.
We don't know how they do it, but ALL of their games are super fun and highly addictive!!!! They manage to take ordinary games–including Klondike–and take it to the next level. We can't think of ANYTHING this game is missing. Once we re-found out how to get the definitions, this went straight to the top of all the other word games we play (and that is quite a few!!). We encourage anyone to play this–even if you found other word games boring. Kudos for making it kid friendly as well.
We love this game!!! Addicting fun.
A definite must for word game lovers.
Can't put it down. Saying that, it would be nice to have a little documentation to see what all the extras (keys, stars, etc.) are about. As it stands, experimentation is necessary.
Fun word game to play independently.
We love it just wish the challenges were not so hard sometimes. We can never seem to get ahead of anyone on the leader board.
We love this game. It is so addicting.
Wonderful addicting Fun to play.
This is an awesome game that really makes you stop and think about big long words. If you don't get to where you want to be, though, you may stay up all night till you do.
Great game! So far there have been no charges or them asking us to buy the "ultimate" edition. Love that we can play and not have to worry about accidentally buying something! So much fun too!!! Keeps you playing and playing.
Great game that keeps you playing for hours! The daily challenge is a nice feature.
