This game is fun, especially against friends, but the fact that you are forced to connect to Facebook, even if you don't want to, to be able to keep your progress is quite frankly pathetic in 2025. By now you should have found a way for us to just connect with our account name and get our progress back and keep playing where we left off. If you change phones, like most of us do with time, and you didn't connect with Facebook (which we shouldn't have to) well, bye bye to all your progress. Fix it

Hi Giovanni! Thanks for your feedback. We understand connecting with Facebook isn't ideal for everyone. We're considering alternative account recovery methods. An email option could offer a more flexible way to save progress without Facebook. Your suggestion helps us improve!

My all time fav game, Ive been playing this app for years. Before it existed, I played this game in my imagination, or against friends & family with pen and paper. I may have even invented this game, it's unlikely but possible ;) The app is brilliant. Stop 2 is also brilliant, but for me this is the best of the two. Ive yet to play someone who can beat me over e.g. 10 matches (allowing for my cruddy phone and crashing Wifi). If you want to try, lets go... My user is 'I Raul'. Thanks Creators

I love the game in itself, but I get annoyed when it often only recognises certain spellings of words, therefore losing half a point when the spelling is quite correct (just from a different country). That is my biggest gripe, especially as you can't challenge it at the time... Overall though, a great game that I enjoy playing. (Being able to autofill would be great too, to avoid typing wrong letters under pressure, but I won't push my luck...)
