Love the Game!

When sitting waiting for someone it's a great game to play. It passes the time and waiting becomes less tedious. Sometimes I'm
amazed just how long I've been playing. Oops , they're there!

Not a word???

I was just playing WhatWord and entered “grope.”The response I got once I entered the word was “we do not know this
word.”So I looked it up in my dictionary and found the following definition “to feel around.” Please add this word to your
lexicon of acceptable words.

Good fun and good for brain.

I play this every day, usually while winding down at night. It’s interesting and challenging.

I wish there were less ads to Wade through to start again.

Fun word challenge game

If you like word challenges, this is a fun game. I really enjoy it. It has a few ads but for a very small fee you can remove them,
and I wish it kept your stats perhaps down the road.

It’s great for my brain. I don’t get it when the same letter is used twice. Need a way to get to the answer without a prompt
for Twix used letter. Lol. I guess it’s my old brain

WHATWORD

WHATWORD is fairly good clone of WORDLE of THE NYTIMES. WORDLE offers a few extras that WHATWORD lacks. The two exras I miss
the most are your personal stats kept by the game and the snarky Robot.

Love it!

Just like wordle and few ads. Only problem was once I gave up after 4 tries and it didn’t tell me what the correct word was. I
should have put in all 6 guesses even using letters I knew were not in it.

Likeable - not zany flashy

I looked at 5-7 other apps of this type, but this one had the features I liked best (most like the famous newspaper version) m.
User-friendly, 99 cents to stop the ads, and it's a logical word puzzle to figure out! Warning: addictive!

Challenging but would like to be able to see some of sort of recap of the words and how many you were able to solve in three,
four, etc tries. In other words, your achievements. I think that would be motivating.

Love the app but have a suggestion

Why does the app not give you the correct answer if you did not figure the puzzle out?
Very frustrating to not learn what the answer was

This is the best mind challenge game I’ve played in a long time. Very challenging and fun. If I could improve it, I’d have it
keep track of your progress and show standing against others.

No hints, no other distractions, just the game. The dollar for turning off ads is totally reasonable too. Allowing pluralized
words adds another dimension to the game as well. Great game!

Proper nouns and plurals

Proper nouns should not be used as answers. There are enough five-letter words without using proper nouns. Bad enough that
plurals are included.

What’s the Word??

It’s titled correctly. Because if you don’t guess the word by number six, it just takes you to the next game. Why doesn’t
it tell me what the word was??!! That part is so annoying!

Lots of comparable apps are better

First of all, there’s no way to contact them for gelp. It appears that proper names are occasionally the answer which I found
surprising and lame.

Why is the grid so small? Lots of unused screen area. Also the size of the keyboard makes letter selection difficult

interesting game

I enjoy the game, it’s the right amount of challenging. But you can only see the level you’re working on, and can’t see how
many games you’ve won. If you could see how many levels you’ve won it would be 5 stars

Nice game, but needs ad free version

Enjoyable. Need a subscription model for ad free play. I won’t use this much longer if ads keep popping up on the screen. Will
gladly pay for a better user experience. Otherwise I’ll stop playing it soon.

Missing words in data

App version of the popular web based game, my hats off to this developer for jumping on their chance. But there are some v common
words (grape for example) that aren’t in your system’s database as words and the game doesn’t accept them.
