Words Inc Reviews

I've only plying for a couple of days and I like this game. My only complaint is that the definitions of some words are not accurate. I have cross-checked a couple of words I thought I had answered correctly but that WordsInc sad it was the incorrect answer, and the definition I found in the Oxford Dictionary was the same I had selected. Maybe it needs an update. Other than this is a lot of fun. I don't see why other reviews mention you have to keep paying, so far I have not spent a dime and I'm at level 29. I keep replying the same level and there are so many new words I don't feel the need to skip ahead.

Free and you learn new words what's not to like? So far I've been playing and it's been good but addictive! A little problem with my device freezing for a moment while I was registering. So I shut down other apps, then shut down the game itself and then tapped the game icon again and it worked. I have an IPhone 6. I recommend this game and only give it four stars just because of the momentary freeze, which was really nothing . Otherwise I would have given it a five star.

This is an enjoyable app, one that makes me feel as if I am actually expanding my brain, rather than shrinking it! LoL
Something that would make it better would be, when we pick the incorrect word, if they would include the definition of the correct word. For example, I had a word that the clue was something about “that which is bright or glowing” (I am paraphrasing). My choice was “luminous” or “Illuminated” I choose incorrectly, but I wasn’t sure why. Educate me! :-)
Thanks for a fun app!

I enjoy practically any game that challenges my mind, especially those that also build my vocabulary. This game does both. I won’t bore you with a recap of how the game works since you can see that in the preview. However, I will say that WordsInc would be phenomenal if it included a subsection that has each word used linked to a dictionary. I have an awesome dictionary called The Free Dictionary by Farlex. I suggest a collaboration with WordsInc and Farlex’s The Free Dictionary App. I believe both developers would benefit.

The game is quite good for a non native. But once you get to 100 points, the challenge is lessened. From then on, it’s quite easy to master. The thing is, you will never get to reach 5000 point straight because the game will freeze at 3000+, depending on your gadget memory.
A few weeks in and it gets very boring, the vocabulary bank is too limited.

I downloaded WordsInc for my son to learn more words. He likes playing but cannot get far because of the timer.

Suggestions:
- Add profiles so multiple users can play on one device
- Using the profile age / grade level, adjust the word bank to be appropriate for each user.
- Allow for more time for younger players so this can be a useful educational took instead of “just a game.”
- $.99 to continue a game seems like a pretty dumb feature. I understand you want to make money but, I would never pay to allow my son to continue if he hasn't mastered the words he should.
- If someone misses a word that was previously answered correctly, it should be un-starred.
- Stats should be meaningful from an educational level. It shouldn't be that difficult to build in ranks that represent a 1st grader thru college reading level.

Ah, hubris. I thought I was pretty smart until I tried to beat this game. And tried. And tried. It starts easy and gets more challenging. I am obsessed with word games, and this is my current favorite. I agree with others that I’d like to be able see the definition of wrong answers. Sometimes the game seems to be drawing a pretty fine line between words that have multiple, similar meanings, depending on the context.

S sword game lover with what. Thought is a song vocabulary this game is really cool and addictive. My main complaint is that too often there are two word that could potentially fit the definition I it's frustrating to get those wrong I wish there was a pause button that didn't cost coins, not to cheat, but just to be able to take a break.

If you enjoy words and their definitions, and you enjoy competing or pushing yourself past your limits you’ll like this. It reminds me of a game called Perfection in which you have to place all the shapes before the clock runs out and pieces fly everywhere, except instead of shapes your placing definitions with words. Sort of anyway. There’s the same sense of panic involved.

Hello, are you going to play this for fun or to be informed? Well, you could possibly learn and accumulate your knowledge with terse, often not descriptive enough words. Or maybe you’re gaming. Well, I’ve spent days learning their odd definitions to surpass my peers. Finally, I was many hours in and only a few points to reach this accolade, and then WordsInc crashed. Had time simply elapsed or did I become erudite from learning from WordsInc ? Neither. I appreciate their care for words, but time, a glass of wine and a dictonary are better for a learner than an ineffective app.

It’s free and easy to use. That’s a welcome start. The starter words are a bit of a bore... but that’s where they look to make a buck. I haven’t folded yet.

Some of the 4stars are a bit “word of the day” or 99 cent picks that if you try to use in every day communication will net you a well deserved eye roll... but fun nonetheless for your own improvements and writing options.

Great way to help time go by. After you play it for a while it becomes addicting and before you know it you've been on for a long time. The only thing I would change is putting the definition back up when the wrong answer is selected. That way on e can review the wrong answer.

Great game. It would be awesome if there was a second place you could play to practice the words you failed on. Maybe use the same play concept but only use the failed words somewhere in each question. That would really reinforce the learning.

I thought I had a naturally strong vocabulary, but this games challenges, stretches and grows it.
I do wish at the end of the game it gave a list of words missed. I would like to be able to take a moment to truly learn these new words (or alternate definitions of) and how I might use them in my everyday discussions.

It drives me crazy when I do miss a word that I need to pay .99 to continue every time. I can’t do that. Not because I’m uneducated by any means. Plus, I’ve played word games since I was a child, but it aggravates me to be on a roll when I miss a word. Then you add in payment to continue is like throwing salt on the wound! But, beyond my criticism, I do enjoy playing the game immensely. Blessings to all!

The game doesn’t let you just buy the game. They try to charge more for every turn. I don’t really know why but I’m not going to pay to play more than one turn if they don’t just let us buy the full version. $45??? Greedy. But the game is fun and good for learning.

Best game I’ve ever played. I wish they would provide this to the schools! I can’t stop playing. I even had all my friends and family download it! Now they are all trying to outsmart me!! Haha fabulous game . I highly recommend it. Now all my hood homies are throwing around new words haha dope❤️

I'm editing my review - had thought that I had to pay 99c everytime just to continue (which is true) but you can also level up by besting your previous scores?

Maybe they need a quickie screen to explain how the points thingy works so fools like me will know what's going on.

Great game. Says I need to earn 40points to get to next level. I’m motivated to get there but don’t know what you mean by points. Is it the same as credits? How are they earned? Great word learning. Thank you.

When you consistently score at least 25 it gets a little boring when you constantly have to begin again starting with the easy words. Would be nice if you're restarted closer (eg within ten) to where you failed.
