Ratings and reviews

This is a bare bones, slightly buggy, functional strands game. Seems like you can play strands games from around 2 months prior. Sometimes the game will not mark your completed puzzles as complete; sometimes (rarely) I think it marks incorrect words as correct. I haven't found a better alternative yet, so this does the trick.

Awful. Nothing like the "real" strands. If I could give no stars, I would. When you put in a word, the letters aren't linked. When you find the spangram, it's the same color as other words. It doesn't keep correct count of words left...It will say 7 out if 8 found but shows 2 clusters of letters. I could go on but I think you get the idea.

All the words are the same color and the letters don't connect. It could use a better indicator when connecting letters, the thin lines don't cut it.
