I chose this app because it had a great rating, which honestly surprises me. I've spent some time trying it out today and I am disappointed. The app is very basic--pure Hangman, no frills or extras. Whatever. The words bounce between common and obscure, with vague categories as the only hint. You can get a "hint" of a letter, but if the word is really obscure, that doesn't help much. That biggest problem is the ads. They come between every round and are incredibly annoying.

Names; Repeats; Bugs. Hangman should not include names. This includes people and brands; more pop trivia than vocabulary. Out of about 100 games I got roughly five repeats; 5% is way too high especially since it tracks your games' stats -- it should be able to eliminate already used words. For Louis Vuitton, it said the N was not a correct letter so there was no way to get it right. This was one of the repeats so I know I didn't do something weird or get confused.

I love this word game so much! The reason I gave it 5 stars is because for me it's easier to win when I start with trying vowels (A, E, I, O, And U) Then if I see one of the vowels pop up on the blanks (more than 1 or just 1) it gives me more ideas on what it could be. I Also use a strategy for when a word pops up in my head I count the blanks as well the letters to see if it might fit, if it fits, I will try it, if it's wrong then I will try and think of new words! 5 ☆'s!
