User Reviews for Word Chums!

Word Chums-fun

This game is very addicting, but much more fun than Words-w-Friends. Love the little characters, they make it entertaining. It's neat the way you can dress them up & give them objects to hold but the coins it takes to buy the hints & bombs is a bit pricey. At the beginning you get free ones, use them wisely. I didn't know that & now I'm out & will need to buy them. Even when you get a hint, you may not think of the right word to get the most points, does really makes you think. Good for the brain! Just wish when you get new letters they would give you a better variety of letters. Too many times I get stuck with Almost all vowels, or no vowels or too many of the same letter. They want you to buy bombs, but then you still may not get a lot better letters.

It is a challenge and satisfying when you finally get a good word that rewards you with high points and you can beat your opponent and win the game.

Could be great...

...but it is currently broken. And people fun has absolutely no interest in fixing it. Letter distribution is ridiculously bad. Unfortunate because this game really could be fantastic. As it is, I never recommend it to anyone. The game keeps head-to-head stats but doesn’t record your first game with someone. So, if you win your first game and play the same person again and lose, your head-to-head stats shows your opponent with a 1-0 head-to-head advantage. Totally misleading. You will almost always get back half of the letters you just played, often more. The bomb is ridiculous. Swapping is even worse. They are lying about hints. If you’ve found a word that is 75% of the best word then the hint, according to peoplefuns own words, will be for the best word on the board. This is often not true. So many times I have found a four star word, used a hint, and got a hint for a word that was one or two points better, but still not the best word on the board. Multiple emails and they just have no interest in fixing it. Like I said, it’s a shame because the game itself could be pretty rad.

Fun word game , hope it helps my brain a bit

I was looking for games to help keep my mind sharp as I am over 65. I never was good at scrabble, so this game which moves at my own pace gives me the time I need to think of words and the best place to put them. I don’t feel the social pressure to put any old word down. I tried playing with real people that were supposedly matched to my level, when I ran out of bots to play with, but I disliked that. The players were very slow, sometimes taking a day or more for one word and came up with words I figured they looked up with a scrabble word finder. I am quite well educated and had never even heard of a lot of them. I then broke down and paid for unlimited bots so I enjoy the game again. I like the animated characters, and never realized until I looked it up that the hats and stuff were for more than show. It would be nice if the game told you that kind of information at the beginning or had a glossary attached to look up what these kinds of things mean. I guess I’ll keep playing until I am tired of it!

Word chums

I like how Word chums challenges you to think of words you sometimes don't use a lot and how others know words that you have not heard before. It keeps you very competitive and on the edge all the time. It's very addictive in a good way. I also think it helps to keep brain cells stimulated. I also enjoy the chumbots and how you don't always lose with them. I wish they would use a more variety of letters. I don’t see many k’s, p’’s, m’s. Too many q’s and z’s. Enough. Word Chums I am addicted to this game and now I have 4 addicted friends. It is quite challenging and fun. I surprise myself with some of the words I can come up with. I also have learned new words that I’ve never heard of. I like the Chumbots because I learn new strategies from them. Word Chums I thoroughly enjoy the games and I have 4-5 friends who are seriously addicted. I like the challenge most times of thinking of new words. I don’t like how I sometimes get 3 of the same letters namely (i) all the time. I would like more of some of the other letters to appear more often. All in all it is a good game. I agree with you. This is a good word game that I am addicted to as well. Like the last review, I don’t like that the same letters always always appear. I nan never use prefixes like un, re, pre etc. I never can make words with the letters k, m, g,l or t.

Love this game, BUT…..

I love this game, especially the fact that I am able to choose my competitor. However, there’s an ad that pops up on the home page where you have to either choose the free trial or pay for a subscription, and I don’t want to do either one!! I can’t find a way to clear that ad in order to select a current game. There’s no X to click on to close it, so I have to shut the game down completely to get it to go away (sometimes multiple times) so I can click on a current game!! I’m not ever going to make the purchase, so please give me a way to shut the ad down!! At this point, I’m so frustrated that even if I wanted what you are trying to sell, I wouldn’t buy it!!!

It is all Scrabble hoped to be!

This is such a fun and challenging game...a perfected way to play scrabble. Very well designed and so enjoyable to play! It’s great to play with a friend and send quick chats (like a conversation you’d have if playing together in person). The app will also pair you with someone for a fast or regular game. You can also choose to hone your skills playing against a chumbot. You can pick one of three chumbots at each level - and they’re all really cute! How tough of a challenge do you want? Be prepared for a quick game, because it will not take your chumbot more than a few seconds to find the perfect word to play. Wish I could be that fast! Buy cute accessories for your own chum at the store. I appreciate being able to bomb my tiles and not lose a turn or to ask for a hint on where to build a higher point word. There is NOTHING about this app I would change. It is 5 star across the board! It is the PERFECT word game!

Love this format... so much easier to play

I like reading reviews, but hate leaving them (I’m such a hypocrite!). Here’s what I like about this version of a “Scrabble” app:•the colors separate the board so the game pieces are more distinct and easier to read•the characters are cute and customizable (wait, it gets better)•the word that is allowable lights up on the board as you play it, if it’s a valid word. You can add or subtract letters and figure it out before you hit the “Play” button to lock in your turn•it also gives you the points for the word as you figure out viable words and letters (Some other game apps don’t, which make it harder. They just say you can’t play that word or it isn’t an acceptable word after you hit the play button.)•after a word has been played, and for all other words played on a board, you can touch a word to get a definition •if you don’t want to play a live person, there are probably 15 or so levels of increasing difficulty that you can play against the ‘computer’•if you want to play a friend, it’s easy to both sign up and play•there’s a chat feature to talk to your opponent

Fun and clever

I love this game. It is a fun way to play with friends in a pandemic. If you like words puzzles, you will enjoy this. Play with friends, strangers or “Chumbots” at the level you chose. More fun than “words with friends”, you can acquire hints but they are based on improving on your best word, a nice feature. This is getting me through a quarantine period. There is a chat feature so I feel like I am connecting with friends and have even made a new one. The premium is not expensive and worth it for no adds and unlimited Chumbot play. I have played Scrabble through some of the roughest times in life. This is very similar but with a gamer slantThere is a feature to earn points by taking surveys that is iffy. I have gotten 15 minutes in and they have asked for email or exact date of birth in combination with Full legal name. I don’t think this is smart and I abandoned the survey.
