Best Word Game I have installed a number of word apps on my Android phone and iPad, and this is by far the most engaging. Some users may give up too easily, when if you master the game you will be required to earn enough points by developing words, often with virtually either no consonants or no vowels, while racing the two minute clock. The game starts easily enough with a presentation of letters in a grid that resembles a larger digital image of Big Boggle, which I loved as a kid. As you click on various letters in succession to form words, the letters are replaced and points are earned--more for larger words and/or words containing specific bonus point highlighted letter/s. Initially there is a good mix of consonants and vowels and many word combination options but as you advance, the options become more and more slim and you have to employ strategy to keep going and earning more points. I am only disappointed that this app is not available for Apple products as I have not found anything comparable. Most other word apps are limited in functionality and lose my attention almost immediately. Wordoid, by contrast, is completely addictive, tough, and fun. I highly recommend it.
★★☆☆☆
Don't like the interface If you could change the font of the letters and the background it may be a better game. It doesn't hold my attention. There are other similar games out there that are better.

Good game, buggy JB crashes still not fixed. Slow and laggy. I keep reinstalling hoping that it's fixed, because it's a great game, but uninstall immediately because it's buggy.
★★☆☆☆
Now annoying with ads... Was a great game, now the ads take space and are annoying when playing...a 5 star rating down to 1 because of it!!!
★★☆☆☆
Crashes on jelly bean terrible on Nexus 5 I would rate this five stars as it works wonderfully on gingerbread, but on jelly bean it crashes on exit almost 100% of the time. On 4.4 on the Nexus 5 it is visually a MESS. Too bad it is abandonware and the developer didn't find a new maintainer to take it on when he got tired of it.
