Words with AI

This beats the awful official version hands down. But the gui needs some development

Until I realised the AI was putting in two words on some of its turns. Bloody cheat.

Great fun to play, but there are a few annoyances: It isn’t clear what dictionary has been used, but it isn’t the official Collins Scrabble Words. Would be good to have a choice of dictionary. Some of the warning/error messages are in Russian. When you close the “you’ve won/lost the game” message it also takes you out of that game, so you can’t seem the finished board. I’d like to be able to see the finished board, especially if the opponent was last to go.

Where has it gone!! Can’t find the app in the App Store.

That sounds negative, but I’m not really complaining. I started a Scrabble-style game against AI with ‘EXAM’; the AI made it into ‘EXAMINER’; I added an ‘S’ and was informed that ‘EXAMINERS’ was not a word! Yes, it is!! Most annoying as it would have been a triple score. QIN is also a word that isn’t recognised, along with some standard two-letter words. One other observation: I accidentally skipped a turn by inadvertently double-tapping the tick (which, by the way, is the wrong way round for the English market). It would be better to have a separate ‘skip’ button and disable the tick until a word is placed. It is also strange to have no notification when the AI cannot play a turn. But this is much better than the ‘official’ replacement for Scrabble, which is awful. A bit more work and you get five stars!

I’ve played the AI twice and it started the games with seven letter words and scored 0 points! Soiled the games really because I won easily. The AI struggles as it is, and not giving it full points when it does well is a shame.

Agree with previous comments haven’t once lost an impossible game so needs to be better and also have a glitch if both I and the computer change tiles first turn it just tells me my word is incorrectly placed across the middle square and tells me I’ve lost the game as I can’t place a word?

I agree with the previous review, the impossible level is almost impossible to lose if you have a decent vocabulary.

I love this game of scrabble ! It stretches my brain and is easy to use . Would highly recommend .

Application will not run on iPad Air in ios9. Crashes back to home screen. Finally fixed, about a year later! Better late than never ....
