What real reviews say
★★★★★ Such fun! I love this game. Sometimes it is challenging to come up with a word that can top your opponent!
★★★★ Words and actions I play the hard level against the computer frequently. I wish hard was more strategic so that I didn’t win so often. Or maybe you can make it “smarter” after playing me? I.e., learn from my moves as an opponent.
★★★★★ Connects my girls Just a few minutes can lift my spirit as well as the spirit of those I “connect”with.👍
