Wordsmyth – Calm Word Play Reviews

We like this game, but would like to be able to see the words we missed. Is there a way to do it that Im missing.


The app has many bugs after the latest release. When you submit a word the last letter shows white. Shake shuffle doesn’t always work.


Very relaxing, no adds, and if we cant find any of our words hints are provided. Thank you for providing the shuffle button! Dont think we could provide any suggestionsexcept keep working as we plan to live longer than 18 years.


Want to access settings for options but can not find it. Please help.


We really like the game. We enjoy spending time searching the puzzle (and our mind) for every possible word! The one thing we would like is to be able to have more than one new game per day. Sometimes we will open the game a few times a day only to realize that there are no new puzzles and nothing to do. More puzzles each day would make this an easy 5/5.


But as previous reviews have mentioned, some pretty common words not recognized. And understand the desire for visual simplicity but dont like having to swipe so much for the sake of carpal tunnel and RSI and those with small hands. Thanks for your work!


Its pretty good except for the quite limited dictionary. A word puzzle like this should have a much bigger vocabulary.


We cant. . Had a friend purchase w the hopes of playing together but cant figure out how to connect. Sent them an invite to the game but isnt working. Were both frustrated. Otherwise love the game.


A good game but super frustrating that it doesnt recognize legit words but then takes all sorts of archaic words and spellings. We wish there was a way to request that it add legit words.


So many legit words not recognized, it’s baffling.


This could have received the full five stars IF whoever compiled the wordlist actually uploaded an unabridged dictionary. Or at least given players the option. A noun is accepted but not its plural. Nor its adjective. Too many common words not accepted – whether using British or U.S. Spelling. We are so frustrated im ready to delete the app.


We love this game play it all the time but suddenly we can no longer open the app. Every time it tries to load it just take us back to our Home Screen and Im irritated. We just wanna seek words No issues with this in a while still loving life on the leaderboards.


We love how relaxing this game is. However, it’s difficult to enjoy a word game that doesn’t recognize valid words! On our first game, and it did not accept "hued" and "reshod" as well as others we can’t remember off the top of our head. This kills the enjoyability of the game. Edit: changing to 5 stars because the developer response was amazingly fast and we were informed that getting the best dictionary for the game without making it get too tediously bogged down in filler words is a challenge. Its clear that the developer wants to make the game the best possible and values user feedback.


This brilliant and very simple word game got us hooked immediately. It is beautifully designed and presents a big challenge that renews on a daily basis, so the fact that we have only one new puzzle to work a day keeps us going on it as far as we can get. The controls and color indications as you type words are both very well though out. One of our Game Center friends are playing but we have yet to figure out how to make the synch feature provide us with the exact same puzzle to compete together on. The hint feature is really nice when you get stuck but sometimes we find that we do not recognize the words we find through it. A suggestion would be to provide a way to look up the definition of any accepted words. Regardless of what may be missing, this seems like the perfect game for those who love word puzzles.


No timer. No begging for attention. Just play.


If only there was an option to enjoy more than one level a day…


We like this game other than a few things. We’ve only had it a few days and would like to play more than one puzzle a day. You can go back and do puzzles from previous days youve had it but you cant do any more. We’ve also been frustrated with some nonsense words, and some legitimate words not being recognized. We have had to just try every combination of letters a few times which is no fun at all. We also agree more directions and even a FAQ would be helpful. Three times we’ve had to come to comments here to try to find out how to do something.


Great game, makes you think and enjoyable. The only issue some words should be considered a word like gelatowhich is in the scrabble dictionary while some of the 3-letter words are questionable. But we can look past these minor issues and still enjoy the game. We would recommend to anyone looking for a word game to get thisyou wont regret it.


We really like this daily exercise for our brain. We would have given it a five but a one of the functional updates done recently isnt welcome. Now when we want to backup on letter selection, perhaps because we accidentally touched the wrong letter, all our selected letters are removed and we have to totally start over. Otherwise, the ability to customize functions and mix up the letter presentation are great upgrade. Suggested updates: 1) If we missed how to do this, our apologies. Could you add a way to go back to previous days to work on those challenges? We havent figured out a way to activate those so we can work on them again. 2) Another nice to have would be the ability to place our cursor at the beginning or in the middle of a word that is already entered to change the word again. Much the same way as adding an S at the end of some words makes a new word. Thanks for a great app.


Love the app. Unfortunately its a resource hog. Played for 30 minutes one morning and shut iPad Pro down but didnt totally close the app. Two hours later we pick up iPad and battery is down 40%!!! Keeps the battery drain up even if device shut down and app is in background. Hate it, but going to delete the app.


We would wish for a button to mix the letters and a setting to turn off the sound.


Looks like a nice game. However, please give clear directions. Your directions are vague and frustrating. Not good for relaxing and meditation. Thank you, MacLennan.


We love the way this game plays, but any word search game lives and dies by its dictionary. This one isnt very good. It doesnt recognize obvious words like raping, yet it does include many that we find nowhere else. We completely solved a recent game by brute force. The 38 words in the solution included: sri sris dit dits sics siti cist cris strid irids sitis disci cists. More than a third of the solution does not appear in our dictionary, and this seems typical. (Dealing with autocorrect while writing this review is an exercise in frustration.) Ultimately this means the only way to completely solve any puzzle is by brute force, which really kills the fun.


We love this game but after finding all the words for the first time two days ago, the next 2 games are locked and the games we didnt complete are shown as completed. One locked game is at 97% and the other at 48%. Why can we not continue? Please help.


We really enjoy the game, it has a relaxing feel. We would like a bit more interaction in the background when you complete a word.


Amazing app, Im loving it so far. One thing though, it says Feb. 28th on the app when its March 1st? Should we reinstall?


Good, challenging game that requires quite a bit of thought to find all of the words for each days puzzles! We like the relaxing animation/sounds. Wish there was an option to see the definitions of words found, especially with words we create that we’ve never heard of before (then we would be learning even more while we play).
