Fastastic until it just stopped
I loved this game and played it daily. Then it stopped and I had to force it to quit. Bummer. Can anyone fix this please.
buggy - refund
buggy - getting a refund
just deleted ap
While I can win sometimes ,to many times I will get all vowels or all consoanats for 5-6 turns straight. It has weird word but does not acept some common spellings like AX... over all not worth it.
Game designed by cheating politicians!
Loaded against the player, who always gets the 'Q', 'Z', and always at the end!
Don't buy this game...
The game is clunky and poorly designed. It's nothing like Scrabble. The built in dictionary did not accept the words 'fate' or 'state'. I gave up and quit. What a waste of 99 cents.
Frustrating
If you like a challenge and like to get angry, this game is for you. The computer will be allowed to use words and abreviations that you won't. The game will get a better mix of tiles while you get nothing but consonants. I've won a few games but it's so frustrating that you can't play the same words the computer can. So wrong.
Not a great Scrabble substitute
I miss my Hasbro Scrabble computer game, but it won't play on my MacBookPro. Mr. Word is OK, but it will not let me use words I know are valid and are in the Scrabble Lexica that I also bought. It also won't let me use a lot of 2 letter words that Scrabble used to let me use, and are valid words. I feel Mr. Word is a bit buggy, and sometimes crashes.
