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 Americans will look at you blankly if you say “pram”. It is simply not used here. Please developer- check with US speakers.

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’m supposed to find these nonsense words that even my spell check has never heard of. I got it a day that it was free but I would be annoyed if I had paid for it. Needs work.

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.
