Niner Word Game for Android
There's no button for turn/mix your tiles......??????
Initially I felt a bit restricted by the game's seemingly rigid restrictions of singular root words but I have come around to the developer's point of view on this issue. It saves me from the tedium of having to write out a huge word list with every variation and plural of each word. This is a novel idea in my experience and was only strange because all other games of this kind place a premium on quantity of words rather than, as in this case, QUALITY. I've raised my rating accordingly. I LOVE not having a timer! There are a reasonable No. of target words, for the reasons mentioned above, and no rush to find them. My kind of puzzle. Still very-no, MORE challenging as a result.
The space that shows the submitted word needs to be larger. I like to use the word to resubmit with mods but often wind up pressing the why isn't it a valid word button
It's interesting to play a word game with a totally different scoring model, but this implementation is pretty frustrating. The distinction between a correct/allowable word and an "incorrect' word is pretty arbitrary. Sometimes a plural, verb form, or adverbial form is allowed, and sometimes not. In a game I played just now, "nonmetro" was a word, while "metro" wasn't. It really makes no sense.
At last! a word game that doesn't have a timer, thank you. Really like being able to set it aside and go back at odd moments. Four star because of odd dictionary, a crit I've seen on other games using Wicki. V V pleased with it. October 2012 - Still favourite, been using this daily for months, now seeing letter sets that seem familiar, would be willing to purchase a new set when available. Some confusion (mine?) over how to save games.
Don't download if English is your first language OR you don't like reading glasses! Dictionary doesnt have simple words like 'pins' or 'drew'. Grid is very small. No options for format or rules. Uninstalled.
I don't know where they get their words but there are words that won't work. Uninstall
It could be a great game but unfortunately it doesn't even understand basic words. Very disappointed as I spent so much time trying to find words it WOULD accept!
Could be a good game don't waste ur time
Great game! I learn new words every time I play, and that's a goal in itself.
Fun but doesn't recognize some valid American English words
Inconsistent with the rules and the dictionary. Quote 'only the base form of the word' but 'seared' is ok but 'seated' is not - really? One of those cases where non word game people were involved in the execution of the game - doh!don
Good
Fix your dictionary!!!!!
Yeah its good, but letters and the cube could be a lot bigger! Play area is way too small.
Makes you think, but uses archaic words.
Gets boring quick. There's not really a point or goal. Not even high score.
Very entertaining word game.
Good way to learn new words. And very. Relaxing at your own pace. Will give it a try .thank you
I like the game but when I put a word that I found or should I say words and it dont fit that sucks.
