Word Score App Reviews

This is a really simple word game that can kill some time. Its only 99 cents so I dont expect e world. Having said that I would love to see some simple stats like average points per word, average words per round/minute etc. Would make me want to play it more.

The timer starts running faster and faster. Cant get to main menu. Uninstalled and reinstalled and problem persisted.

good for practicing your spelling and it is challenging

This is actually a pretty fun game but it has one significant problem. First, the gameplay... Each round is two minutes and you have to score a certain number of points to advance. Points are scored by counting the letter values of the words played, ala Scrabble. Each time you play a word the letters you used are replaced with new ones, so you always have a full board at your disposal. The difficulty level is managed by increasing number of points needed for each round. Now for the flaw... as each word is played the letters are randomly replenished with new ones. However, it seems that the number of vowels on the board gets smaller and smaller. At least half of my games thus far have ended prematurely when Ive had no vowels at all left on the board and couldnt play. I dont think this was done as a measure to increase difficulty. Im purely guessing here, but I think the problem is that theres four times more consonants than vowels in the alphabet but the author didnt take this into account when coding the routine to randomly pick new letters. As a result the number of vowels slowly diminish as the game progresses. Its rather frustrating to run out of vowels with more than a minute left on the timer. Once this is fixed, Id probably give this games five stars. I probably shouldnt give it four stars in its current state but it is still fun to play. If you like word games, definitely give this game a go once a fix is issued.

The game is a lot of fun for anyone who likes word games like boggle or scrabble. However, despite the developers claim, I just ran out of vowels in the latest version. Also, it would be helpful to place a pause button and if the vowel situation isnt fixed, a way to rescramble the letters.

This game is not bad, but it runs out of vowels quickly. I played one game where I had no vowels on the board. It is hard to make a word without vowels. It needs an update.

Thought this app was compatible to blackberrys word mole but it is far from it. Game has NO sound which makes it pretty boring! Had I known there was no sound, I would NOT have paid a buck!

I agree with the other reviewers that this app needs work. I have Word Mole on the Blackberry and it has passed many an hour in the airports of the world and while this is kind of like that, the developer needs to fix the problem where the vowels are all gone and there is no way to make any words. This is extremely frustrating. After that, I would say to add in a couple of bells and whistles to include sound and the speed round. All in all, this could be a fun and entertaining app but is not worry buying until the vowel problem is fixed.

Good app, but needs work. Too often there are no vowels. Dictionary needs upgrading. Sometimes wont accept known words. Tonight game wouldnt accept the word true!

I LOVE THIS GAME! I play it all the time during my commute...its a great little game and its lovely. I recommend it to all the people who want to keep their brain active during down time. Its just relaxing and its fun....simply fantastic!

Excellent game. Me and my son play it all the time. It helps him learn more and more words. Good learning exercise for my son.

This app needs: 1). A method for saving your game 2). A method to delete one letter at a time.

This is great word game. Nice graphics....easy on the eyes. Very, very user friendly. Hours and hours of fun. Well worth the .99!

This might seem like another word game but it has its own added twist and it is certainly addictive. I cant help but play it for hours. Definitely recommended!

Great word game. I play it on the train, waiting for the lights to change, even while im in the toilet!! Recommended!

This is a great app, especially for my younger siblings to play as they learn more words in the process.

Keeps the kids working on their vocab skills having fun and not thinking its study time... :)

Simple and great. A letter undo button would be great, and maybe the wrong word message shouldnt pop up in a new window.

WOW ! ! ! one of the best puzzle game i ever played... keep it up... playing nonstop now...

have always been playing word games in pc n now with word score i can play it with my iphone anywhere. as easy as it may seem its not always easy to find a words esp a later level. time is running out and suddenly mind is blank >.< casual n fun :) would be better to add in multiplayer :)
