Words Finder Wordfeud/TWL – Board Game Review
Words Finder Wordfeud/TWL is a Board/Reference/Word game from Rick Jansen, first launched in 28th October 2011.
It’s rated 17+ and currently has 13+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Words Finder Wordfeud/TWL Stand Out
Find words for playing the game, or learn words you never knew. Sort the results on word length, alphabet, or word score. Find not the longest, but the best word! You can find words using the 7 letters you have, but also match up letters and word parts on the board.
Lookup words online or in the local dictionary with a Copy/Define/Lookup/Mail
American English version: TWL06 word list, 178.691 words.
As an extra the word lists SOWPODS (International English list), ENABLE, OSPD, WWF and CWL21 are also included, and separately searchable. (More than 275.000 words in total.)
New is the "Test word" option: test if a word exists, and find words with missing letters. You can use this to see if there are words that would fit a game situation, and which letters you would need. Also handy to find 2-letter combinations. Use a single dot for one missing letter, an @ sign for more. Also usable for crossword puzzles.
Slide Over: you can now use the Wordsfinder in front of another app, for example in front of Wordfeud, or a puzzle app! It requires iOS 13, and is only available on iPad.
How to use Slide Over: a. Make sure Wordsfinder is in the Dock; b. Open an app; c. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock; d. On the Dock, touch and hold the Wordsfinder, then drag it up, to the screen; e. Position or left or right.
No internet connection is required, this App will still help you when you are travelling.
Privacy: no information is collected or shared with other parties.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The app needs to be updated. Its missing a lot of words that are now accepted in WWF and Scrabble.
Our friend and we started playing Wordfeud as a way to connect when we moved to different countries 10 years ago. We are still playing! When we finish one game we immediately start the next! Love the chat function that comes with it. Chat function not extensive, but then its all about the game right?! And still allows you to comment as you go along. Never had any hick ups with the game, works perfectly. Highly recommend.
While playing Wordfeud we sometimes go to this app to verify if a word is actually a word, or not. When this app verifies that it IS a word, we plug it into the Wordfeud game and Wordfeud denies that it is a word! The two apps dont seem to connect with each other. We thought this app, and Wordfeud, were synonymous with each other. Not necessarily the case.
We used to love "CheckWords" with MakeWords feature, and it still has some simple charm, if only it hadn't been removed from App Store. Next best was the insanely powerful and elegant "Zarf", with ability to chain multiple filters or operations, but complex to express many common needs. Until… WordsFinder is near-perfect mix of power and simplicity (kinda). Makes words exploration fast and flexible.
Packed full of useful features. Quick lookup of two letter, three letter , etc. Works well with Words by Post.
This program has no peer. It does everything we need for multiple word games.
Does not miss a word, freeze, or force close. Ease to use. Great app.
We have several word finder programs. From all of them we find this one to be the best. It's quick, and can be set for other word games beside Wordfeud, and gives several options on helping to find words.
