Unscramble Anagram - Twist It! for Android
Very Christian - obscure biblical terms are common, while medical terms and any words that could refer to reproductive anatomy or reproductive activities are "not in the dictionary" (even if they have other meanings). More power to ya, religious freedom is awesome, just would have been nice to know what I was buying!
I really enjoy this game but it drives me crazy that there's no hint or give up option for when you're a couple words out and just want to know the answers. Then it just becomes a guessing game and it's not fun if it goes too long. It would also be really cool if you got bonus points for slang or names.
Have had this game for a long time. Doesn't require wi-fi or data, so it's great for taking along when traveling or having to wait in a waiting room. Keeps my mind sharp and increases my vocabulary at the same time. One of my favorite games!
Enjoyable but... Their dictionary is awful. Words from other languages are included with no reason for why certain words are included and others aren't; obscure jargon is included from some fields - but not others; abbreviations are permitted which makes no sense; common English words aren't included if they're even slightly crass or potentially obscene. I quit when "penis" wasn't allowed. It gets annoying fast.
So I had great scores, and was admired by the many, not the few. I dreamt only of winning, but oh no, I open the app and BOOM! All my data and scores gone! What! How can I win at life. I went to show all my millions of friends my scores and they were all on 0. Either give me an immediate 1000 minimum on each, or fix this. I am fuming.... But I will continue playing because it's so addictive.
The word list NEEDS to be alphabetical as numerous other reviewers have stated and the dictionary is weird - because we have no way of knowing what dictionary the app uses, we have to rely on being told that something is or is not a word. Some of the words that are not allowed are common words and yet some of the ones that are allowed are quite obscure.
Inconsistent dictionary. Random acronyms get accepted, random non-English words count, random slang is okay, but simple words like "peck" don't? No idea what even counts in the dictionary, which leads to endless frustration.
It's a great app but could use a few improvements like an option in settings to change or stop time. relaxed mode or something. For ppl who have dyslexia or who are foreign and want a challenge. Other than that, it's Great.
Once in awhile there are no words using all letters. Unfortunately, finding the word using all letters is how you advance to the next round... So game over. Also uses some abbreviations, some acronyms, which is unusual for word games. They censor common (non-offensive) words, and many common words are not in the game dictionary, yet foreign words are. Very frustrating. Overall, the game starts out fun and addictive, but when you've completed over 100 levels and the game glitches (no words using all letters) and game over! It is angering and it's supposed to be fun
The game is challenging and I would give it a five star review but some of the words are ridiculous. For example demico which is the cursive writing if Sanskrit. Now I have an above average intelligence and I've never heard of that word. Or hemes is another word. But I do like the game. And I like that you can click on the word to get the definition. If nothing else it is a good vocabulary builder
Sometimes there's a lag when entering letters. The dictionary needs to be fixed to allow obvious words. It would be great to be given the missing words from the puzzle mode if you need to quit the game. Finally to be able to save the puzzle would be wonderful for the high levels.
I love this game!! So addicting! My only problem is when you close out of the app, it resets the game... I've had high scores in the 30k's that I was building up for weeks and then out of nowhere it resets..Please add a "Resume Game" function!!! ????
This is one of the very best anagram games available. I like that I can click on any word that I didn't get and it will display the definition. No issues with the controls, no having to double tap a letter or two letters getting tapped simultaneously. This has a shuffle option (really helps), many games don't have this feature. Easy option really is easy and Expert option really is difficult. Nice job.
It's so frustrating. I really like the aesthetic, but everything else... It's missing a bunch of common words (med, pro, DNA, along with any vaguely inappropriate words), but it contains other obscure words (ens, mus, or the names of specific coins in Iranian currency). Then sometimes it'll accept the plural but not the singular (trows is ok, but trow isn't?). And you can't get any hints. It does let you see the definition of words after finishing a round, which is nice.
An enjoyable game, could do with a couple of fixes. The dictionary could do with expanding as there are dictionary words that aren't accepted. The biggest annoyance is that sometimes the rounds don't have a word using all available letters, so it's impossible to progress any further.
When I click on the instructions nothing happens! I'd prefer the list alphabetized. The game doesn't tell you what words you have missed and that is very frustrating. I am still looking for a great anagram game.
It's kind of stupid that they don't have the word "sex" in the dictionary, in addition to many other actual real words that they consider inappropriate or something. I guess this is the 50's or something. I'm sorry who died and made you the moral authority on words? I could understand maybe not accepting curse words, but come on. Sex?!? Plus they have the British spelling of words. Sorry I'm not British. There are other normal words that don't exist in the dictionary like "ort", yet they'll accept an acronym or an abbreviation. Could be better.
It can't be that complicated to upload a proper dictionary into your game database. Every fifth (and legitimate) word I enter is not in "your" dictionary. Were it not for that, you'd earn the full five stars.
It's a really good game - Helps me increase my vocabulary, plus it's fun. My only complaint would be the size of the app, I'm a person who's always concerned with my mobile memory. It's rapidly increased after a few plays.
The game is pretty good. However, vocabulary is terrible. Kindly use a reliable dictionary. Some words are missing from your dictionary. Furthermore, you have included certain proper nouns. Please be consistent in what kind of words are allowed- common nouns, verbs...
Found it fun and managed to hold the first place on leader boards for a while. Alas it is no more. Sadly got my family also somewhat addicted to it. Quite nice as it feels like a sort of countdown game. The reason its not 5 is because theres a board which you simply cannot pass on from there is no 5/6 letter word(s) for the level.
I need more time! (I am foreign person with dyslexia). Would like to be able to put my own combinations of letters. You like to be able to organise the order of letters in word like style in answer box to put them or delete them in my order... It is hard to progress when you come across word with less words to make. Should be more points... Good about the game are definitions of the worlds and many combinations of letters.
I really enjoy playing the game on classic mode. A couple of improvements would rate this at a 5. 1) I wish puzzle mode (which allows practice without a timer) would allow a 'give up' option, so I could learn the words I am missing. Finding 67 out of 73 words is incredibly frustrating when I only have the option to quit, get no points, and worst, never learn the last 6 words! 2) The help mode doesn't work at all. I'm playing on a a Galaxy Tab A.
Some words that are definitely IN the dictionary are not accepted; e.g - Sex, rape, mite. Why? You asked for a word in the dictionary, and yet you don't accept it. Also, sometimes words are rejected at the end come up as missed words. An alright game if you can get past the adverts.
I like this game, but the dictionary contains a weird smattering of acronyms and proper nouns, yet misses some fairly obvious words (come on. "Shea" is totally a word). It is very frustrating. Also, I wish you were able to quit the game between rounds.
1st 7 rounds I got same anagram 2xs. Words such as rape, mite, cite aren't accepted. Pathetic! I'm stunned to see a rating any higher than a 2...if that.
PECK wasn't accepted a valid word, but then PECKED was listed as one of my missed words. That makes no sense. Other words are missing from the dictionary as well. This seems like an easy fix, to use a complete dictionary.
As others have already said, the words and dictionary need updating and expanding. The listings need to be in alphabetical order. Most thing it needs though is to save your progress! I would play maybe an hour then have to do some work and picking up where I left off was hit or miss. Really gets frusterating solving every word for an hour straight, have to do some work, then when going back the game starts completely over.
I like the layout but there are inconsistencies within the dictionary. Sex isn't considered a word whereas sexpots is and sometimes the definitions don't pop up for some obscure words. Makes me wonder if those words are real or not. Would get five stars if the dictionary wasn't buggy
I like this game. It was my favorite for a couple days. However, there are many common words missing. At first I thought my spelling skills were to blame. When I realized the game was in err, I started to feel annoyed and have begun to try other games.
I have been playing this game for awhile and now all of a sudden the ads are coming up with inappropriate pictures. I'm now uninstalling the game. If I HAVE to see ads to use a free game, I don't want to see crude/sexually driven ads.
I was super excited to find a seemingly interesting game that didn't require all of my personal info. However, when I tried to open and play the game it wouldn't even load. I've tried three times now with no luck. All this app is now, is a waste of my time.
There's a lag when you're entering letters which is frustrating especially with a timer going. Rejection of very obvious words is another annoying problem as others have said. With some work easily it would be a 5 star game. Till that's done only 3 stars from me.
Bazaar dictionary used. Absolutely drives me nuts to wait so long for start of new game. Alphabetized the word list. These things will help those that stay, but I gotta go find something better nnnnow.
It's a great app but could use a few improvements like an option in settings to change or stop time. relaxed mode or something. For ppl who have dyslexia or who are foreign and want a challenge. Other than that, it's Great.
I like the game but there have been lots of words it doesn't recognize, like "pee" or "sex". Also, it would be nice to see the words in alphabetical order so you can see at a glance words already found.
You guys understand that "gay" is a word, right? Once you tell me it's not in the dictionary, your game becomes instant garbage. Uninstalled. What a joke. Had potential. Stop worrying about hurting feelings and make all words usable.
The word list NEEDS to be alphabetical as numerous other reviewers have stated and the dictionary is weird - because we have no way of knowing what dictionary the app uses, we have to rely on being told that something is or is not a word. Some of the words that are not allowed are common words and yet some of the ones that are allowed are quite obscure.
Update your dictionary. It seems as if your game has an ancient dictionary. Several words that are widely used are not at all accepted by your game. Plus, your game is too prude and has an attitude of itself making new words on its own. Words from foreign language are taken up but words from english literature aren't there. Really? Crap is rejected but crappier is accepted. (What?) Singular words aren't there but plurals are. Some super scientific words are simply unguessable. Whatever they mean.

Revivals done right! I use to play the "father" of this game and I loved it, so I was a little hesistant to try this out. I am glad to say, I have enjoyed the game with its refreshing and modern feel. Only problem is advertisements. I understand the need for profit, yet I believe that in every game is a unique way to make ads more enjoyable. Quick suggestion, don't kill the atmosphere of the game with banner ads and pop-up ads. Do something unique! All in all, amazing job!
