    Worth the cash!

    I promise you, if you are a word game fan such as myself, you should purchase this application. I have purchased the Werdle app and it does not hold a candle to this app, there are games similar to boggle but still different enough to hold your interest and some games so different from boggle that it is impossible to turn away! Please purchase this if you enjoy word games, you will not regret it!

    Pleasing mix of challenging word games

    Play all the time. Next to Angry Birds is my favorite game app on color nook. Nice choice of games. Nice visually too. Wish it were available for Android based cellphone...

    Great game, do the fix and it works good

    Guys don't hate on an app if you have not tried the fix of re-registering yet! Yes it has a glitch again but they are working on it and UNLIKE many of the devs for these apps at least they posted to tell us that they are aware and working on it! The re-registering is a one time thing and will most likely fix it for you as it did for me. Yes it has a glitch then too, BUT it's doable and still works and you don't lose you progress. Just turn the game off and back on and continue you current game. Yes it is an inconvenience, but give them a chance to fix it before you keep others from buying a great fun game. Remember, the updates are subject to B&N's time frame too so when the fix is done we have to wait on B&N to get to it.

    Very very nice...

    This set of word games is so much fun! There are five different games, with three levels of difficulty in each. There are three choices for how the screen looks, which adds another level of interest. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is that in a couple of the games my fingers seem too big and clunky for manipulating the letters (and my fingers are long and thin). Otherwise ... this rocks!

    Stopped working

    Nook shuts off every time i play. Thought nook was broken so had it replaced. Same thing happened so i know it's the app. Takes the nook about 5hours before it will power on after this game shuts it off. Don't buy until they fix it.

    Bad update

    Cant even open any game since the update. What now!
    I was addicted and now in withdrawal. I would have given it a 5 star before the upgrade.

    Great app...as long as it's working.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this app...now it won't open. I can not find any info on the website. I am hopeful that an update becomes available that fixes the problem.

    Awesome game, some glitches.

    Few times the game has crashed out or caused me to have to shut off the Nook due to black screening. Also the Astraware loading screen keeps adding itself to my personal pictures.

    Would also be nice to be able to look definitions in the dictionary.
