Customer Reviews
Great addictive Boggle game!
This is definitely one of the best Boggle games out there. The graphics are neat and friendly. The interface is very intuitive. Just drag along the letters or shake to shuffle the tiles. It's very customizable. You can choose not only your play time and grid size, but also your own tiles (You can even pick your own images from your iPhone photo library!). High scores are kept online along with the longest words. I found the game very addictive. I'm playing it whenever I find time. At this price, this game is a steal!
Fantastic
I've loved Quordy since it came out, which offers a similar Boggle-type experience, but I have to say the feel and options of wurdle are far and above what Quordy currently offers. The various choice of grid sizes and times are great, scoreboards, I love the different tile themes (all of which are nice, as opposed to the type of games that give you many options but only a couple usable ones), but by far one of the best additions is the ability to shuffle the tiles with a shake. It keeps you from running out of options and just watching the timer tick by. I thought this would make the game too easy, until I noticed the point penalty for doing it, so it's not something you can abuse - good balance.
In short, I HIGHLY recommend wurdle based on my short time with it so far. I can't think of anything wrong with it. About the only thing I can see in future updates is maybe more tile themes to keep things interesting after awhile. And for the price? You can't beat it.
Re-install your old version!!!!
Guys and gals - at least on the PC you do NOT instantly lose your previous version when you backup with a new version. The OLD version is simply transferred to the PC's trash folder. Open your trash after updating your Touch or iPhone and you'll see the old apps that got updated. Simply slide them back into the iTunes "mobil apps" folder (after deleting or moving the new version), delete the new version off your phone or touch and it will then re-install the old version. I now "back up" most of the apps by simply copying the "mobil apps" folder but you don't really need to. Don't empty your trash until you check it after an itunes backup. Just grab the old versions that are now in there and keep them safe until you know you like the new version.
-------
To the developers: I know you did this update in hope of creating even a better Wurdle but maybe the best thing might be to swallow some pride and put the old version back up. Just add a note that the new version is still being perfected and you'll keep the users updated. This may initially set you back financially but will reward you in the long run.

Thanks everybody!
