- 5 game modes: "Normal", "Hard", "Lightning", "Relax" and "Untimed"

Community Insight:
Has everything needed, different settings but nothing for ad free option :(.
We use this app to supplement our learning of German. We were amazed at how it has helped us to improve our ability to quickly recognize written German. As an aside, it would be nice if a mode existed where we could set a limit of words to a game, for example ten. Once the limit is reached, the game would end and post to the high score list if applicable.
It only shows last score. We would like to compete against ourselves. It would be great if we could see at least 3 of our highest plays. We just dont feel as if we are getting anywhere. Thank you.
Several ads are extremely offensive- even to the point words are deleted – remember this is also accessed by children Also we are very tired of the constant interruptions by pollsters.
Keeps your mind sharp and quick Love the timed setting…great stress reliever.
Fun and addictive!! We highly Recommend to all.
Addicting! We've had no problems at all and after a short learning curve we can keep our scores. Fun play.
Super version of wordfind. Nice graphics.
We love this game! Great mind exercise.
It is a little slow to respond sometimes tho but the clock still keeps ticking.
We like the game, but it does not record your game scores, which is something we like to see. We like words so it challenges us to find words which is fun. If we could keep up with the score we would like it better.
This is a fun brain exercise cleverly disguised as a game. Love it.
We love playing this game. We get to sharpen our spelling skills while sharpening our mind at the same time have fun! Plus learn new words.
Great word game! Better than Scrabble! Very stimulating, hard to put down.
Awesome mind game, quick thinking needed…great way to unwind and at the same time, keep your brain active…love it.
Love word challenges and this is addict ing.
We really enjoy this game, but it seems to go on forever. Even on the lightning setting the time just doesn't seem to move very fast. After about 250+ words we get bored and move on. We think maybe making it a little bit faster on the higher levels would make for a better game experience for fast players.
We enjoy this game. The options give us a chance to play at different levels,depending how smart we feel. Got stuck a couple of times, but it usually plays smoothly.
Cool game but accepts non words. Nice to be able to play against ourselves and not wait on others.
Ok game. Good way to pass the time.
We do get addicted to the game but we think some of the things it accepts are bogus… They are mistakes but it accepts it as a word.
The game is addicting. We enjoy making words and learning new words.
Great game that challenges you but is so simple anyone will love it.
Totally enjoy this game. Our only suggestion is improve reaction time after submission of a word and quit cheating.
A fun and easy word play game — fast, intuitive, and kind of addicting. We use the free version and the ads are no bother, as they appear well away from the playing area. An improvement we would like to see: a more consistent mix of vowels and consonants throughout the session. It's often difficult to make words of more than one syllable because there aren't enough vowels. Conversely, sometimes there is a screenful of vowels and two consonants. We don't mind making simple, one-syllable words when the clock is running down, but earlier in the game it would be fun to be able to make longer, more interesting words. This would also increase the game's usefulness as a vocabulary-building tool. One more thing… It would be nice to play the game in landscape mode. To play in portrait mode we have to unplug our power cable.
LOVE the game, but if your doing well it takes forever to finish a game.
When in lightning round or hard round, it needs faster countdown. Other than that it is a cool game.
Could have a faster level, but other than that food to play. Does get a little long.
Cannot get score to post under best high score.
Enjoyable and easy, would give 5 stars BUT…crashes too much. We reached a high score and it crashed before we could enter the score and it crashed a couple times when first opening the app. Please fix because we like your game! Thanks ;0).
We like the relax mode, game is well thought out. Great to pass the time away.
The more we play, the more we like it.
Very easy to play can get wrapped up for hours.
We paid for ad removal and even though the ads are gone, in their place is just a black bar that says "Ad" in grey. Usually, when one pays to remove ads, that ad space is used for more of the game. It doesn't just stay black with the word "Ad" on it. Please fix this.
We just got this game from our father and we are addicted. Even our 8 year son loves it and it helps him with his spelling.
We have enjoyed playing this, even more fun than Boggle or Scrabble by themselves. We really like that there is an untimed mode, sometimes we just want to search and search for the longest word we can make, instead of just making any word before the time runs out. We look forward to more games from you.
Been playing all evening. When you make words longer than three letters, the time left increases. Haven't run out of time in over two hours. Simple, yet challenging. There is a shuffle and discard if you get stuck. And it is all for free.
Enjoyable game. We do think it needs more vowels. It also seems like the same letters are grouped together a lot. We end up spelling the same words over and over. Overall a fun game.
Good concept, but gets boring after awhile.
