So even if I win a game by 30+ points I still lose? This game used to work - if you won, your rank and score increase. I played two games in a row, won both and still lost points. Fix it!!!

X70%
by X####:

It's OK at first but it gives you the same puzzles over and over. The letters are just in different positions. The weird thing too is it's always the same names of people in the competition.

J70%
by J####:

I do like this game, but it's very frustrating to end up with a low score because of a glitch in the software. Just did an update in hopes it would fix the problem, but no such luck. Will now try rebooting the phone.

Have a few minutes? East way to kill time in line or waiting for lunch.

Quick simple fun. Fun until the top ranked [cheating] players come with impossible scores then I leave.

Watch out - I've played it for hours without realising it. Great game (=

V70%
by V####:

Love the game but can't change settings anymore due to lack of menu on the app itself...play store says WW has been updated for newer android but apparently not for Note 5

Y70%
by Y####:

When I push to see player ratings the menu won't stay up to where I can see it anymore. I can't see player rankings or anything else anymore.

P70%
by P####:

5 star if junk words like aa are removed. There can also be a version that gives points by number of letters used rather than just counting words.

Y70%
by Y####:

My son and I play this together on the same home wireless and when in the same game it is not consistently showing our scores. Inaccurate leader board system. Frustrating but otherwise highly addictive.

T70%
by T####:

A Boggle like game against random online players. Because the games are so short it's a great way to spend a few minutes while you're waiting. I like the random opponents but it would be cool if there was also an option to play a closed game with friends.

H70%
by H####:

Fun, challenging, and annoying. I wish I knew how the scores are computed. -----Thanks for the reply. I guess I meant to ask about the RANKING among players. There's an algorithm at play, but I can't figure out what it is. I really enjoy the game even though I don't seem able to make much progress.

T70%
by T####:

This is my go-to time waster and there is a dedicated community of players that I have come to know. The problem is there is no way to interact with them! The game is in dire need of a chat room, ideally something that players can use in between games or while waiting for an upcoming game. Also the ranking system is easy to manipulate — there are some players who get to 100 and only play once every few hours to keep their name on the scoreboard. A win/loss record would be better. Excellent game otherwise!

Z70%
by Z####:

I loved the concept of this game but it wouldn't open even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I would get a black screen and that's all. If it worked properly I would have kept it.

M70%
by M####:

** I can shuffle by shaking the phone, but by doing that my fingers lose their position on the word square and I end up losing time. ** You could also add a few theme options, where the user can select a color/background theme.

D70%
by D####:

Will probably never know how anyone can score 170 in that amount of time! Very good game.

R70%
by R####:

It's annoying that the game ends before the clock runs out. I'm playing and have 7-8 seconds left and it ends with the clock still going. Also, it doesn't recognize "ade" as a word!!

K70%
by K####:

I love this game. Would give 5 stars but for some reason the display is a bit dodgy and messes with my eyes!

M70%
by M####:

Great game! The only thing I would change is this: At the end of the game, when showing what words could have been made with the available letters, the words that WERE played should be a different color than the words that COULD HAVE been played. In other words, keep the POSSIBLE words red, but make the ACTUAL WORDS PLAYED white (or yellow, or some color other than red). Other than that, the game is perfect.

I like the game against the clock. It makes it more exciting.

Fun Challenge!

I70%
by I####:

Check for yourself. Enter a game. Exit right away and notice a 10 second difference. Also the game ends before the timer. NOTICE: when you have issue with shuffle and the board in general; a player with higher rank but close in rank entered the game. Rigged!
