WordStorm

I’ve played this game regularly since it first launched (so many years ago). It’s comparable in my mind to NYT Bee, but you can’t use the letters more than once.

Hands down Wordstorm is the best word search game out there. I’ve been playing this one for years now. It can be difficult, but if you can’t get it, there is a surrender flag, that populates all the words you’re missing. Great concept, well executed. Thanks

I like this game, but this guy seems to think every word in the English language is slang. What does it matter if it’s slang? It’s still a valid word in the dictionary. It’s very frustrating!

I love this game. Keeps me thinking. One thing I’d like to see added is the ability to sort found words alphabetical so I can easily see if I already found the word.

I play this game every day until at or above 70, but the scoring is not by percent. It is an arbitrary number based on difficulty with the easy words getting more points than the harder words. Ex. I was at 65% got three of the more difficult words as shown by their placement in the bottom of the list and have a new score of 68%. 3/35 total words should have added 8.5% to the score. Why not just assign each word 2.9%?

I like this game and play a lot (you can go back to years of puzzles) but it’s so frustrating because the developer’s word list is full of weird and archaic words and it doesn’t accept common really good ones. There is no way to get a hint if you get stuck and if you “admit defeat” it boos you! Then you reveal the “common” words you missed and they’re lame like beavering, rowel, bravi and inwove. Meanwhile it tells you that half the dictionary is slang and not valid, like binge and soccer. Many times I’ve found really good long words and it says it’s a valid word but not on the list and then I

I started playing last month. I really began to enjoy the challenge of increasing my monthly average. Then I noticed I was repeatedly getting the reply that the word was VALID but not one of the solutions. Annoying, but not a disqualifier. What has me ready to delete the app altogether is that I have two correct solutions that use ALL the puzzle letters but trigger absolutely NO RESPONSE. I see the developer has many apps. Quality is better than quantity.

I dont know where you got your word List from but so many actual words are marked as colloquial or not words when they actually are.

The description says the solution will be 35 most common words that can be made from the 9 letters. That is never true. There will always be a few everyday words that are not part of the solution and a couple very unusual words. I’m sure that’s meant to make the puzzle hard, but it makes the description and instructions false. I’d give it more stars if it were truthful with the player.

What I like about Wordstorm—which has different rules than the similar Spelling Bee and NO hints (a good thing): (1) choice between US & British English, (2) only one puzzle a day, so you can't get obsessed with it, (3) keeps track of your daily scores in calendar format, (4) it's challenging, but not so much so that you can't get 100% every day, after a brief learning curve, (4) the letters you've already typed in light up in different colors, so you can easily tell what you've got left to work with, (5) little dotted lines show you how many letters there are in the words you haven't found ye

Love the game, just wish there was an option to list words alphabetically instead of by difficulty/score. It can be annoying to enter a word only to have it accepted before I finish typing it. Example, wanted to type in defended but word was entered after typing defend. Only then did it accept defend with different endings.

Does not recognize completely valid words. Sometimes it says “valid word but not included” fair enough, but mostly it just doesn’t respond. Each time I get to 95% and cannot get the last three words. There is no option to admit defeat and reveal what I missed so I looked up a word unscrambler and tried every single one; nothing! I tried 2 more; again, nothing. I wonder what “popular” words I and 3 computer word unscramblers cannot find. I love words and wanted a challenge that would be relaxing and rewarding, not annoying and frustrating. Deleting this game now.

This is a game of picking only the words that the developer thought of. All too often I layout great words but the game doesn’t recognize them. I think the game needs a built in dictionary so it will know correct words when it gets them.

Been playing for years. First time this has happened

I love this game and play it every day. It’s challenging and relaxing. My one big complaint is that, although a player can select for US English, the developer must be thinking in British English. For example, the word “soccer” which is what Americans call the ballgame everyone else calls football, is not allowed. The game calls it slang. Please developer, soccer is a word in the US where football means American football. Also the word “pram” is considered a popular word. Not in the US. I have NEVER heard anyone use the word pram to describe a baby carriage or stroller. In fact most American

Can be easy, can be challenging, but always fun. The best part is that there is no clock! I may work at my pace and come back over and over to any game that I have started. And it feels so great to find them all!

I liked this game at first, but found that even when I submitted perfectly valid words they weren't always accepted. I take this to mean the words you choose have to be those specific words the author had in mind, and other words, no matter how valid, aren't allowed. That's OK, but when I got stumped, I didn't see a way to get a hint, either! The idea for the game is good and the interface is ok, but it needs some work on the actual gameplay. Not happy I purchased it 😒 It wasn't until later I saw the 'lite' version.

Would be fun probably if one could play something. Screen comes up, calendar marks the days and there is no way to play or instructions. Also invalid contact for author so I wasted my money. No very happy and surprised Apple allows this quality on games.

Thanks for updating doe iso6.

Cannot get the day Windows to open with my new i6s. Love the game but can no longer play it until the developers fix it.

Go back to January 2014 and scroll up. It's there! Why so complicated???

Where are the screens for 2015?

Can't get January 2015 to come up!

This is one of my favorite games by far...but this new version isn't great. Every time the letters are shuffled, it's very choppy/glitchy and the new font is distracting. Wish I could have the old version back...

This was one of my favorite word games that I played most often. Didn't have any gimmicks. Now, however, I won't be playing it. Hate the update. Don't like the new, larger font, don't like the score flashing, in your face when you make a word, don't like the interface when you shuffle, don't like anything about it. Please go back to the original! It was a much cleaner interface. This update just muddied it up. I won't be recommending this app anymore.

I contacted Sean, the app developer. He was very nice and responsive to my comments about the update. He's working on toning it down.

I have loved this game for so long and enjoyed playing it and relaxing in the evenings. Not anymore! The new update has horrible fonts that hurt the eyes. I had a headache after playing for 30 seconds. Please please please change the fonts back!!

A great way to pass idle time!!

I love this game and purchased it but it will NOT download......very frustrated!!!!

Love this game. Great for giving your brain a workout in a short amount of time. I've been playing it daily for over a year!
