I felt that the letter generation was off. After a couple play throughs of thinking cap I'd get through about 15 words before I was forced to shuffle because I have something along the lines of 5 As, 4 Os, 3 Is, etc and maybe 2 consonants. It maybe that I was tending to use more consonants particularly higher scoring ones and trying to get the 1 vowel bonus, but after getting this result consistently I think you need to alter letter generation so maybe 3/4s as likely if already 2 on the board, 1/2 if 3, 1/4 if 4, 0 if 5 or more, to make a more enjoyable experience.

I'm already addicted to this game. Honestly, fantastic job. Some of the new games that come out are always lame/glitchy/buggy/have horrible graphics, etc. I like how simple this is. Lucky lady you have. I wish I could find a boyfriend that made ME video games! ^_^

Sometimes the bonus for using exactly one (or exactly two) vowel(s) fails to be awarded, despite the word meeting the criterion.

When typing in via the keyboard, it frequently loses letters. I find that I have to type very deliberately (read "slowly"), and, even then, it frequently misses what I type. Also, chiming in with other folks in reporting that bonus awards are frequently not given.

If you have a bonus for words 'containing' a certain letter, you DON'T get the bonus if it starts with that letter. Worth noticing!

Well balanced, fun and relaxing. The thinking cap mode lets you play without the annoyance of a ticking clock. Nice little features like the penalty-free letter shuffle, plenty of vowels, and real-time predictive scoring. Great! 5/5

A good game, I guess. What I really like about word games is the -restrictions-; that is, you're given a set amount of letters to scramble and unscramble, or in this case a grid, but you can only hop from adjacent letters. The fact that this game is so free-range, where I can make any word I want, makes it a little boring. 3/5

Simply an amazing game! It was interesting to discover how little my vocabulary was :P. Grats on your new wife, by the way! I thought getting married would drawn a developer away from games, but it seems it caused a new, wonderful game for nerdook!

Success! - which probably has a different score value.. but as for "kangaroo" with no other special power-up values added is worth 784!

Developer response from nerdook
"the base score of the word gets multiplied by a square of the word length"
Looks like square of (word length - 1).
Developer response from nerdook
"it's a scrabble dictionary... formal names are not likely to be in"
Unfortunately scrabble dictionaries are limited to 15 letter words, but ventriloquizing with 5x multiplier was a nice shot:)

My best is "RECALIBRATES" at 12705. Could have been better with "RECALIBRATORS" at 16560 (if I guess the scoring formula right - "Total letters score" * (n-1), where n is the number of letters) but the game doesn't accept such a word, kinda strange :))
