Ratings and reviews

Fun version of the original board game. The paid version is well worth the one time cost. Really enjoy the daily challenges against A.I. opponents. However I have a suggestion for the developers. Since you give a 3 coin prize to the top 15%, how about limiting the number of entries to each challenge to one per user ID. I play one entry into each and whatever score I get, that's it. Then I see some users entering 10 times. Not much skill in getting a high score doing that. Ruins the integrity.

It expects the player to move too fast and it clears the screen to another one often. I get a letter hung up on the sides and have to go out of the game to get it cleared. I like the formatting and the faster playing at the end of each play. I'd like the game to not be interrupted with internet options. When I play I like to just play without other things in the way!

For fans of the board game this software has significant differences. The scoring system is very different, which, OK, I can accept as just a variation of the rules that doesn't really affect game play. The serious flaw, however, is its dictionary, which allows far too many words not to be found in a standard dictionary. A solid vocabulary can be of little use against random plays that are accepted as valid. The result is that the continuous frustration has ruined this game for me.
