I love the word list options. I can choose UK Spelling (5,000), 12,000 wordlist which is called “Interesting” and includes some unusual words. The defaut might only be 2,500 common words, but what you do with that is try to get better at guessing which of the 2500 words it is. Plus, part of the challenge is to find a valid guess word, just like in wordle. This app is called wordLITO, and in my mind, means shorter allowed list. What I’d like to see is Icelandic list, German list, and Dutch word list for me to switch between. I hope to learn icelandic someday in the next short few years. He also has a 500 word list. Wordle ALSO has a word list of allowed words but just has more words so the negative reviewers, haven’t noticed it. I’ve entered loads of invalid words on wordle and got a not valid response. I just know more words than the other reviewers perhaps? Thanks!
I don’t expect every game to be ‘made for’ those of us who speak English, and I give some leeway to games that are hindered (but actively working on improving), how they handle language barriers/issues. PARDON MY CAPS, BUT: WHAT I FIND RIDICULOUS ABOUT A MEDIOCRE APP TRYING TO BUST IN ON THE ‘WORDLE’ FAD… You have the “DEFAULT SETTING” for most common 2,500 words, and the player must change this to get 25,000??????!!! Dear Dev, look at how every review is frustrated players complaining about common words not taking. Now, think of the 99.9% of ppl who don’t bother reviewing games they find ‘bad’. How many have you already lost to IMMEDIATE DELETION, by those who even gave a low rated game a chance at all, esp w/tons of copy cats, millions of apps, little time. Most horrible games have fake reviews to boost them in the above 4.0 stars. We know it. Seeing less than, most will never even DL this. I only checked reviews before deleting myself. Apologies on long review. I didn’t plan to b4 deleting. But…I just thought I’d give u a honest review about common sense. At minimum, change your default setting. DELETE.
The interface in this game is nice. Clean, intuitive, easy enough. What gets me though is the sheer volume of words that the database says it not valid. As an example: Stern Rents Sting Stall Windy Muggy Fudge Nests All of these words are not valid? Yet using the common words list, “chine” is common? Fix the words list and database of common words, and you could match a great interface with a good database. Until then, I can’t be bothered.
A word game, where you are to find the hidden 5 letter word in 6 tries or less. You are given clues with the colors of the letters shown. You are not...
