UPDATE to my Purvis review titled: Computer plays non-existent words!

Below is the text of my initial review. I received a response from the developer who said the game uses a Tournament Scrabble dictionary while I was using my standard online dictionary instead and the words - while obscure - are legal. Who knew?? I sure didn't. So I humbly apologize and am revising my rating. Time to expand my vocabulary!*****My Scrabble vocabulary is very good to excellent so I was surprised at the challenges I've had with this game. I decided to check some of the computer generated words and they aren't even in the dictionary - here are a few from the one I'm playing now and the one just prior: Caeoma Etape Hisn Nae Tryma Coft Additional ones (added on 4/10 - a couple of weeks after the ones above): Impled Torse Mycs Haded Noria Sice Pacy Poori Suk Algoid Nurl Inia Orcs Argal Orcs Dulia I see there was an update that I had not installed at the time of this edit. If the dictionary problem has been fixed then I stand corrected.

Glitches since iOS upgrade/Word List

This has been a long-time fav until recent iOS upgrade. At first, my friend and I could get past the freezes by rebooting or reinstalling the app. Now that doesn’t even work. Fix the game, and we will gladly resume playing.UPDATE: Thanks for the fix! Awesome! Now, how do we add or remove words to the acceptable word list? Who decides? Some words that are in Webster and American Heritage are routinely rejected. Occasionally, I come across a word that is in neither of those dictionaries that’s accepted. What gives? And how can we, the players, help?

This game could be so good…

Hey developers lonely star: operators are standing by to give you actual helpful feedback about how you have broken your own game.But your email link is broken.Are you just not wanting to hear from your faithful followers? Or is it actually an error on your part?What do you think of a game where the developers can’t even program their email support link correctly? What do you think of a game that has a dictionary that is so hobbled you can barely play words that are in common use let alone real words that adults with intellect use? What do you think of gameplay that is so excruciatingly slow that you can’t get onto the next board? I find it sad that this fantastic concept is licensed to someone who is doing such a mediocre job of bringing it to the App Store. Rudell: you could find a better rep for your game. Instead of concentrating on smooth gameplay and improved dictionary‘s they have now introduced bender the robot style cartoon rip offs of Futurama. These avatars do not render succinctly and accurately across the game play area. And they have generally goofed up downloads overall. I will continue to play this game because it is what we have for this type of tile placement… But it is not a stellar game. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed. But really developers: could you make it so that your support link works? Email link? Simple stuff…

Great Replacement for the Old Scrabble Game

When you just want to enjoy a word game, just a simple word game to work your brain, and sometimes the stress of the day, this is it. Not everyone likes or wants HD graphics, things going on with the page that distracts from the actual game or playing various people on SM; at least let there be an option. Definitely recommend this game, fun and challenging.

Pay to skip commercials!!

Fun game to play with people who live at a distance or, for example, during a pandemic when you can’t go to your neighbor’s house for the real game. You can play up to 4 in person, just pass the iPad (it didn’t show up well on my iPhone 6) or invite one person remotely to play. Virtually playing worked well because I could pair up and easily work with another person if the other “one player” were in a different house or state. I really, really, really appreciate the option of paying for the app and not suffering through the commercials but others can choose to watch the commercials. Thanks!

Really fun word game!

I like it because there is really no way to cheat at this game except using a dictionary. Not sure how they validate their qualifying words, though. I wish they would update the app to win letters or make moves. They have an online version but never play on a computer anymore so I have no idea what options are available. Everyone plays on their phone these days so need adapt the game to reflect what the players want. Otherwise, I have been playing for years and will continue to do so!

Exhilarating

I am enjoying this app so much. It’s challenging and different each time. I play the computer opponent and the different levels keep it challenging or easy. It’s a fair app as you aren’t forced to buy purchases to use it or get further in the game. It’s a personal choice to purchase hints, etc, but not a necessity. The upgrade without ads was the only purchase I made and well worth it. As an older adult, it’s bringing me enjoyment and keeping my mind sharp. I had the board game 35 years ago and played it with my stepdaughter. To this day she attributes Upwards for her stellar spelling ability as well as limitless vocabulary that’s helped immensely as an adult w/her career and also throughout her school years. How important this game shaped her little mind at the time wasn’t even a thought but these fun word games do have that impact. But all that aside, it’s great fun! And I love not having to add the points! It’s all automatic. No cheating, no dictionaries to see if it’s spelled right or if it’s a real word, it automatically does it for you. Love it, it’s my favorite word game!

Finally!

I have been searching for a long time for a more dignified, word game I can play with friends, without all the hoo-ha, manipulating players into spending money, changing valid words, enticing players to cheat and allowing slang words. You know who I’m talking about. This game is just what I’ve been looking for. If you appreciate standards, learning what the rules are snd trusting them not to change regularly, you will love this game. I do!

My favorite word game

I love this game, it can move quickly when playing a live player. Also no lag playing the computer. I love how it’s so streamlined without animation or silly promotional gimmicks. A dictionary in the game would be great though. I do question the honesty of level 3 computer play. It seems like the computer wins by giving a really bad mix of letters to the live player and good ones to itself! I do always have an automated game going with my live ones, I wish they added it to the next play cue at the end of the internet challengers. Pay the $3.99 for ad free lifetime play, you can listen to music uninterrupted while playing.

Great game

I enjoy Upwords very much and I'm glad I paid to remove ads many years ago. So why give 3 stars? Because ever since Glow was added (I love it!) I've requested that it stay on until you move a letter to change the word you created. It goes off so fast I have to click multiple times to check whether all the words I'm trying to make at once are correct. Also, as others have mentioned, we need to be able to exchange at least 3 letters without a penalty. I often get 6 or even 7 consonants for multiple turns. Or the opposite, 6 vowels such as UUU OOI. The game isn't fun at that point.
