Nonsense words
The game is overall great, but loses a star for the number of non-words that it will accept while it sometimes also rejects real words. Whatever word list was used by the developer was a strange one indeed, and this can lead to some real frustration and/or incredulity when you find that you were able to solve a puzzle with a nonsense word.
A fantastic game
As usual, Matt Rix has delivered a true gem. Worthwhile way to pass the time during quarantine!
Outstanding
This game is great! It took a little bit to grow on me. I wasn’t sure what I was doing and somewhat missing the strategy. Now that I have played it for about 2 weeks the strategy kinda just pops out and you really start rolling. Plus, I don’t understand how any one can complain about a game like this. It is free, no adds, and it is a great word game so...need I say any more? Alright, download it NOW.
So-so
Too many restrictions. Words cannot overlap. I didn’t know what that meant. I watched the tutorial video; it doesn’t help much. Not very much fun to play. Deleting now.
No tutorial!
Can I rate this zero stars? Figured out how to tap on letters to make words, but I haven't a clue how to place them within the box after I hit the check. I keep getting 'overlapping words', but I don't have any idea how to avoid it. The You tube video goes too fast, also. The only way to contact them is thru Twitter which I am not on. An email address would've been great, also, but nope. A short tutorial would've been a welcome addition. I guess they figured that they didn't need one? Sheesh. No wonder it was free. DELETE!
Five Stars if I Could Sync :-(
This would easily be 5 stars if only I could sync between devices... Otherwise a great little game!
It’s OK, BUT...
Why is this in portrait-mode only? Useless for iPad with attached keyboard use. Deleting now.
Thanks for playing Sidewords! The big new thing in this version is the addition of Daily Puzzles! You’ll be given 3 new puzzles every day (one small, medium, and large). Everyone gets the same puzzles to complete. We’ve also added a link to a video tutorial (available by tapping the menu button in the top right of the puzzle screen). And we’ve fixed the crash that was happening on iPad when trying to share puzzle solutions. We hope you keep enjoying Sidewords!
