Almost perfect

I love this addictive game!

For those who think the timing doesnt work right: that means you are good at it! You get extra time for more, longer words.

I think this is a wonderfully challenging, stimulating game, with two drawbacks. First, it is annoying to be tarred as having played words that arent words, just because stroking the screen doesnt always work properly.

Second, and related: its not that uncommon for me to accidentally play three letters that are NOT a word because my finger misses a letter, but the game records it as a legitimate word. I click to see the definition (e.g., just now it gave me aua as a word), only to find it is not there. If the game is going to call it a word and leave it there embarrassingly in my stats, it should at least be in the games dictionary! I cant figure out why it accepts words and then says "not found."

Editing because I forgot to mention another dictionary annoyance: The game seems to randomly censor vulgar terms. Although I think all should be allowed - if it is a bonafide word, let us use it - the inconsistency is maddening. Some very vulgar words with no alternate meanings are accepted, while other very common vulgar words wont work. At least be consistent, and state in the rules if they are prohibited.

Another related issue is that I have accidentally played words that are proper names or abbreviations, and they are accepted. I dont think abbreviations or capitalized words should be allowed.

The only other tweak I would like to see is the ability on the My Words screen to view the longer words without having to scroll through many screens of shorter words.

With these small fixes, this would be a ten-star game, so I am giving it 5 stars despite its flaws.
