Pros and cons of Lost Words app for iPhone and iPad

Lost Words app good for

I noticed some of the words that are supposedly words, according to the game are not words in your own dictionary, other than that, I love this game!

Pretty good!! I like the percentages and scores of words I got compared to the possible scores. I have most of the word games and this scoring is the best!

I play a lot of word game apps in the Boggle genre and this is my current favorite. I wish there were a one-minute game option, but other than that theres not much Id change :-)

I enjoy using Lost Words to help in teaching ESOL classes. The students can easily learn and they can spell back words in their native language.

Great time killer that can quickly turn into an obsession...and free. Awesome.

Great way to sharpen your brain! Adjustable game times and pause feature allow you to customize the experience according to what youre doing.

Some bad moments

I dont care how well read you are, there are too many scrabble-fake words in this game. I consider myself pretty well read, however this is a bit ridiculous. Ive never seen the greater majority of these words. Its just silly. The second star, besides the perfunctory one is for a smooth and functional interface. Otherwise it was lazily put together because all it does is grab words from a scrabble style dictionary.
