Up Spell by Up Games

It Is what it says it is - an enjoyable word game. No advertising or silly in app game currency. Recommend.

Perfect for a quick escape during the day. Simple, clean design and delightful music. Continues to be one of my favorite games that I come back to.

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL GAME! SIMPLISTIC, FUN Sadly no options to: • Increase character amount • Increase Time • Missing some words. Example: “Grok” is a word (game does not recognize it) (These are not my reasons for 3 star ⭐️) DEVELOPMENT OVERSIGHT: (My reason for 3 star instead of 5) Unfortunately, I have no idea why the developer… ignored logic in their mind and DID NOT consider: 500 million iPads apple mentioned, sold world wide… your game WILL be played on an iPad. Therefore, why not make sure the game shows up correctly on iPad screen? I have a 12’9 inch iPad Pro, in landscape mode, launching this game, you press the 2x button for the game to blow up and cover the entire screen (fair enough)… here’s where the developer did not do, their due diligence: The game appears at the bottom left edge of the screen, dangerously close, to bleeding out the edge of the screen. (making it uncomfortable to play) I do some some development myself, there is a iOS screen simulator which you can run in xcode, showing approximation of how game will appear on the various iOS screens. Developer was obviously focused on iphone only. Sadly, singular thinking like this, diminishes the perception of the passion, involved in this project. Especially, in this current age, when the development tools are available for the dev, to assist them, and make sure, game is running at it’s best viewing angles, for all iOS device screens.

I like this game *a lot*. Scratches the Wordle itch between new words. One complaint: sometimes I get no vowels. Is this a feature or a bug? I get that this can happen in Scrabble, for instance, but then you have a whole board to play on. The session I just finished I went with “DR” which counted as a word, then I got a vowel. If this is intended I gotta say it feels a little broken. But the game is great. Everyone who likes Wordle should check it out.

Playing a word game with two hands is less appealing. It needs portrait mode. Otherwise it’s pretty fun.

The app automatically compressed after upgrading apple system and wont fix…

Needs updating.

I love this game. Great lexicon, neat interface which is sympathetic to my poor vision. But..I can't get Duel to work. I can't get the Send arrow to work.

It’s fun, but the letter selection doesn’t seem well randomized. Sharing doesn’t work. Just get a blank screen and have to quit the app.

This is a delightfully addictive game, with a simple, effective design.
