Good replacement for Bookworm
Enjoying the game. Just completed all the library categories. Will it reset and give you new words to find?
United StatesGood Bookworm replacement
About as good a replacement for Bookworm as one could expect. One question - What is the yellow bar under the letter box with the almost always increasing number next to it?
United StatesBugged to drop red letters constantly
After the meter fills up for red letters they drop more or less constantly. Seems like a bug was introduced in the last month or two.
United StatesOkay but not Bookworm
This is an entertaining app - it would be better though if the dev stuck to a FORMAL and accepted dictionary of words. I have come across too many instances where the app gave me points for a word that was simply NOT a word (like, cen and coe). Also, the red tiles are too much. Bookworm threw these at you too, but this app sometimes keeps dumping red tiles for 5 - 10 minutes, and you spend most of your time at the top 20% of the screen. (If red tiles reach bottom, you lose)
United StatesHas potential, but needs work
Love the concept of this game, but the execution falls short. Graphics are basic and remind me of a 70's video game. When trying to highlight letters, they are not always picked up the first, second or even third try. I am having to use a stylus to help pickup tiles. Even then, not all are being captured. Makes playing this game very difficult. I look forward to watching this game evolve. It has a lot of potential. Good thing it is free now as I would definitely be getting a refund otherwise.
United StatesMissed a game like this!
Really happy to have found a game like bookworm! I missed it so much. I’m hoping that you can add some more flame tiles, they get very less in the high levels. Thanks!
United StatesFills the void left by bookworm, but could be use some adjustments!
Like others, I found this app while desperately trying to fill the void that was left by bookworm after it vanished off the App Store. I’m happy to say that it does just that! Though there’s a couple of wonky things I’ve noticed while I’ve been playing. The most severe and weirdest, was having my game end really abruptly about 250k points in. There was one fire tile at the top, and when I cleared that it just gave me the game over panel and prompted me to restart. I still have no idea why, but it was frustrating because I had 8 green tiles and 4 blue tiles on the board that I was stock piling. Also this is a minor gripe, but I think there should be a two letter word exception for Qi. Having just a Q fire tile (and not a qu) is almost certainly a game ender unless you scramble until you get a u beside it. Being able to use Qi would balance that I think. Last, also minor critique, but I feel like the play area could be a bit larger. There’s a lot of extraneous stuff on the screen that squishes it down (like letter wizard being at the top and the art wizard being large at the bottom). This is especially an accessibility issue on SE devices where the screen space is much smaller. Measuring it on my screen, the playable area is about 1.35 x 1.35 inches maximum. I feel like other comments address other quality of life issues fairly well, though! In any case, I’m not meaning to totally harp on this app - I love it! But with some improvements it could truly be great.
United States
Some bonus words require just the letter Q and not Qu so now 2 out of 3 Q's will be Qu and 1 out of 3 will be just a single Q
