Word Game 2 for Android
I've been playing the free app for years and finally decided to buy the pro version....HUGE mistake! Why would you change it so the timer never runs out? My usual scores in the free version are in the mid-5000s, but I've gone well over 20,000 in the pro version and have never finished a game (I always quit if I get a "no"). The timer just never winds down. It makes it a totally different game when there's no element of time running out. I've played this game on the subway every morning and evening for years, and paying for it has completely ruined the experience.
A very enjoyable game I have become somewhat addicted to. At least I've gotten something out of it -- I'm now ranked # 5 on the Leaderboards high score list and pushing hard for # 4 LOL Also, my Scrabble scores have increased massively - good synergy between the two games. And on top of it all, now I know a whole bunch of words like ixia, hioi, euoi, and zuz, that probably only fellow WordGame2 addicts know. Having learned pretty much every in and out of this game, I would really like to see a small modification such that one spelling error only sets your combo back 1/5 or 1/4 of the way to zero. For instance if you're at Combo 300, and you misspell a word, you get set back to, say, 240 instead of zero. Well actually, I would also like to see an unplayable rack not set the combo to zero at all. I understand why it's set up that way, but once you get good at this game and are banging out 700 or 1000 or 1500 levels, it is truly painful an hour or two into a game to be tossed an unplayable rack and have your entire game destroyed for something that's 99% out of your control. It's a bit like capital punishment for a parking violation.
Fast-paced, won't take some words Every time I try to submit the word "manx", which is a cat breed, the game tells me it's not a word. Please fix this bug.
Simple, fun game.
Finally, a word game app that is challenging, educational for the word lover, be it scrabble or crosswords, and operates smoothly. You can tell that the creator cares. You must try this app and then choose Word Pro: Well worth the small fee to improve your game and skills!!
No different than the original version. How about something new?
Very enjoyable game I have been playing for about 6 months. During that time my high score has gone up from 450 to 22,000 and I've learned a huge amount of new words that's really helped my Scrabble game. The game requires you to be able to put together legitimate words (3-7 letters) from a standard Scrabble rack under time pressure. Forming good words (4+ letters) earns you more time; using the time to think of a good word runs the clock down. There is however a problem with the game: the bonus counter (called "combo"). You get lots of extra points for continuing to play 4+ letter words, and that bonus can end up being 90+ % of your score, far more important than the word points themselves, so the game is all about reaching for 4+ letter words over and over. BUT...the bonus counter is reset to zero if you: make even a single mistake or typo, or substitute in a letter from the "box" (you do get unplayable racks and sometimes there's no choice in the matter). So you have to start the whole game over as soon as you make a mistake, which sucks. The penalty should be 20 % not 100 % of the combo, at least for the first mistake. Other than that, a very well designed game.

This version, along with the first version, are truly disappointing in that the game "completes" way before the time bar shows it's nearing the end. The game is fun and I would love to keep playing but it won't allow me to continue past the 1300 score range. Once I made it to 2200 in the first version and it will trip me up every time I try to log my high score. This is like some lowdown sabotage! would be great fun if it allowed me to keep playing!
Good response. Addictive.
Good way to spend time, very addictive.
Love the game. My only wish would be the ability to review all the words and best word solutions from the last game. Some strange words sometimes come up and I wish I could look up the definitions.

Fun, time- filling
its very challenging ..it makes your mind more active .. whenever i play this it relieves my stress and very addictive ...
Addictive and nice interface though
I'm regularly playing this game.
Love it
ITS SO MUCH FUN. BRAIN EXERCISE
Excellent
Craig Hart, the developer, makes great word games and his support for issues within his games are second to none.
ITS SO MUCH FUN. BRAIN EXERCISE
With the latest update, many words that have long been accepted are now being greeted with a big NO. What gives? Extremely frustrating.
Very entertaining! Good for the mind. Well, as good as it can be for my old mind!
Fun
Love it

How can I know if I like it or not ??? Allowed all permissions, down loaded it, installed it...but then the game just refused to open (no matter how many times I went through the entire process of loading and installing !!! VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!
Good way to pass the time.
I don't really use the hints, but I know from that it's easy enough to spam a game with hints and get a ridiculous score. I've always thought there were too many hints awarded. But, as I say, I don't use them unless I'm completely stumped. More annoying is the lack of high score list within the game. There is absolutely no way of seeing how your score compares to previous efforts. The Google play leaderboard thing is annoying and I'm not interested in random strangers' scores. Bring back the scoreboard!
Too much going on visually and can't keep track of previous score and don't need the hints
This is so easy to play you should try it out
A lot of fun - helps to learn new words and has lots of new features. Much improved from original !
