Community Insight:
Fun word game with interesting twists and turns. If you like word games & cute characters delivered in a lighthearted, fun way try this out.
Super duper fun! Is Sarah hot? Let's see if she's on twitter.
Fun and unique -we like it! Excellent art and the soundtrack is great too.
Excellent gameplay, charming graphics, we just played for an hour straight! We think this is our favorite word game — EVER.
Fun game to a point. Upper levels get very frustrating. Too many obstacles, not enough letters, too much point loss in proportion to point gain. Potential to be a really fun game, but need more opportunity for success. Please improve the upper levels interface.
What is this junk? More shovel-ware.
