Pros and cons of Words Alone Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Words Alone Lite app good for

Really Love this version when I dont have the time for the full one. Same graphics and thrills, in the fraction of the time!!

I really enjoy this game. It is great for those times when you dont have a lot of time. Just enough of a challenge and very addictive.

Some bad moments

I realize this is only the trial version, but how do the devs expect us to have a fair chance to try this game out with a mere 12 letters? But even more frustrating than that is the fact that the letter you are trying to place on the board has a sixteen tile shadow around the letter!!! Sure makes it rather difficult to place the letter on the correct tile, especially since your finger covers the letter itself so all you can see is a 16 tile shadow over the board!!! Weird!! I think Ill just drop this word game into the trash can and go back to Scrabble, which is almost identical to this game but has a lot more bells and whistles to it.

It seems as if it could become a great game. At this point, though, it seems Very Limited when it comes to possibilities for use with only 12 letters & such a small framework in which to play. One cannot even get a strategy in place, but the game is over already! It does have potential, however, if one werent going to be dealt all vowels or all consonants; and that "informative" notice of where you are among players only serves to cause frustration-one doesnt need to know every minute! If there is a need to know, just go to the menu.

This free version doesnt provide enough of a sample to know if the full game would be enjoyable. Good start, but not enough challenge or information to entice me to purchase the full version. It would be better if the game played against you possibly.

I am a bananagrams fan first but this helps me be able to play any time I have a spare minute. Quick, informative, entertaining, and fun.

Fun. Keeps the mind ticking, trying to find a spot for that last tile! their dictionary is.......a little different than mine.....SUV a word??? well, ok.....

This is great that you dont have to wait forever for others to respond with a word like it :)
