Good concept. Why does it not allow the same word more than once - no way I'm going to remember.

Very slick to play. I like the auto spell check which simplifies the validation. A good level of challenge where it didn't get frustrating. Personally I don't mind but other people might like a bit more visual pizzazz even if that's just some colour on the main grid etc

I enjoyed it. Not sure what happens if you put an answer in wrong, does it validate as you go? The dynamic was satisfying in that it gets easier as you go.

Fun game. I would play this again. How do you populate the grids?

I will keep playing but that's a tough game!

Good concept. What's the incentive to not guess on the first clue. The clue is not cryptic on the one I tried so there is luck involved in hitting the target? I'm wondering if I played every day I would always guess the first then immediately have 3 clues which would narrow it down sufficiently to get it right? Or I never guess the first one and wait for the second to always have two clues?

It's a good idea. Executed well. I would say for adults it's a little easy but I think perfect for 9 years up to adult. Would be nice to be able to admire the puzzle at the end and look at stats etc

Give your son a thumbs up :-)

Just clicked through a few and it was there all the time! Nice idea

The Go-Between:

The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

On medium I did not even come close, but that says more about me. Every game it got SERA, ARES etc I should've learnt :-)

I found it too hard as well. After level one it's not clear how much power I'm giving the shot. I would look at angry birds and lift the way this is communicated to the user. Get this mechanic feeling 100% and it'll be great.

Good game. Found it pretty difficult but got there in the end.

I thought it was excellent. I was happy with the timer but found that I could either get a word almost immediately or not at all. Would it be possible to 'skip' ones you get stuck on? Then they are given back to you at the end or you can click on the squares to finish them (different colour for skipped) at any point? How about a letter shuffle feature? Game itself was very slick. I got 13 btw...
