Letterpress Word Game for iOS

Ease of use/Overall performance: This is a very fun game and a great alternative to word games like Words with Friends. It forces you to be creative, since you can’t reuse words and you are essentially playing a competitive word jumble.

Would use again/recommend?: Absolutely. We spent some time over the holidays playing old fashioned word board games, and this rekindled an interest in Words with Friends…but that got old quickly. This is a fresh take on a head to head word game, and it’s quick and fun!

Suggested changes/wish list for upgrades: There are times when I like in-app purchases, but I’d rather pay $.99 up front than download a “free” app only to discover unlimited games and a list of already-played words need an upgrade. It’s minor, and the free features are excellent, but having it all up front would be nice too.
