The game is alright. But to many of the same letters on the word game.
Not a bad likeness to the TV show, but with some annoyances: some legit words which appear in the OED are not in the app's dictionary (e.g. unlanded, adulter, gloopier, quacker, pogues, rimmed, outrow, outpour, quoter, bint, unpairs, zeroise - the list is getting bigger every day - very annoying!); it allows some American spellings (Susie Dent does not); and no provision for when you spot a solution but don't have time left to type it in - also very annoying!
Great game
Lovely bananas
Classic
Slow to load but fun to watch/play along.
Really poor. Computer mostly gets 3 to 6 letter words. Computer does not do easy mathematics, but guaranteed to get the most challenging numbers. Waste of £1.99
Great game and posted some gameplay
Can be fun, but ruined (as others have said) by the lack of weighting on the letters rounds. The TV show is much more fun because it obviously includes way more of the "common" letters - making the letters rounds more interesting and fun as the possibilities of finding long words is much higher. In this game you often have a letters game with 4 of the same vowel and numerous letter S for example, making the letters games dull as you scrap around for the same 4 letter words.
No online play, this would be perfect if you could link up but it does not allow
