Word Connect - Fun Word Puzzle

This is quite a nice little timewaster. As others have said, the dictionary could use improving, quite a lot of words it doesn't recognise, still. Edit. Reduced to 3 stars because I'm getting so many valid words not recognised. Lord is okay, but lard isn't? Just one example of many. It's annoying to the point I'm thinking of uninstalling, which is a shame cos it's good otherwise.

The ad free version is inexpensive. My main complaint is that many fairly common words like "inns" and "opts" are unknown, which can be frustrating. It's annoying to spend several minutes trying to find a valid word, only to have the game reject it. Also, most of the time the solution to a puzzle doesn't include plurals, but every so often it does, so you have to keep trying them just in case.

I've decided to rate this game 5 stars not because it's perfect (as others have pointed out there are some words that should count but don't, and that's frustrating) but because of the way this game handles ads. Unlike so many other free/ad sponsored games, Word Connect has the least intrusive ads I've seen. Plus the game is a lot of fun to play. (I'm amazed that the hardest words sometimes are the little 3 letter words.) With regard to the ads, I actually find myself purposefully watching ads sometimes so I can rack up more credits. That's the way EVERY game should behave. I can't even count the number of games I've uninstalled because the ads were just too annoying. Kudos to the developer for the way this game is set up. And by way of comparison I installed the "Original" word scape game, and uninstalled it 15 minutes later. The ads were so obnoxious I couldn't stand it. The one criticism I have, and it becomes more annoying the more I play, is that the dictionary used is woefully inadequate. So many words that should be there, for which players should receive credit when they're not used in a puzzle (which they can't since according to the dictionary they don't exist) are M.I.A. It really needs to be addressed. (I would also point out that word play at the Newbie level seems a lot harder than the Newbie title would suggest.)
