Ratings and reviews

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.

This game is a nice alternative to the standard word puzzle which doesn't allow you to change any letters. This is a nice game in which you an play others online or play solo with the computer. You can alter the color of the game board which I like. You cannot play words from bottom to top or from right to left. They must be played forward like other word games.

I love this game! It's very simplistic, yet challenging. If you like to just play the game as is, you'll still enjoy it. However, it could very easily be so much better. The current style is incredibly dated looking. I wish you could choose themes or work towards bonuses. If the creators could enhance it a bit, I'd easily give it a 5 star rating.
