My go to for a spelling game. The settings provide quite the variety in size of game. Have played regularly for a decade. You can also add words to it's dictionary that the game might not recognize - what game does that?! EDIT XNAR - DID YOU GUYS CHANGE THE SIZE of the cancel, give up, etc buttons? I have played this game for 10 years plus but now I'm accidentally hitting the "check" button on almost every play! Am I imagining this or did this game layout get too crowded suddenly? THANK YOU

Hi Carla, yes we did change the sizing on some of the buttons to better handle some of the newer phone sizes and densities. Send us an email from the Contact Support option in game and we'll get the specifics of your phone and see if we can't find a happy balance.

This is one of my favorite word games. Adding & removing words to/from the dictionary is relatively easy. I do wish I could switch up the color scheme though. * 2019-May : it's been 6 years & I still play this game all the time. It's a great word game. I've gone Pro. My only complaint now is having to redo my dictionary additions/subtractions every time I get a new device. 😏 2023 - still a favorite

Hi Shannin, there was a problem with the ad network that they have now rectified. We believe that should have resolved your problem with flickering ads.

Great game - my wife and I play every day, together and separately. Would love a way to set it for 20 words of less. Only major complaint is sometimes lists extremely obscure words (medical terms, types of chemicals, etc.). But truly enjoy it regardless. Very few glitches. NOTE: Thanks for the response - I've checked game settings from time to time, and the lowest it will go is 23 words or less. But thanks anyway.

Thanks Donna. If you want to play only games with 20 words or less, you can choose that option under Settings->Game Size Settings.
