    I’ve had to significantly downgrade my review because the app still crashes regularly, and it takes 3 to 5 attempts to restart it before it doesn’t crash, and it lets me in.
  • No more words with friends!!!

    Thank god there is a solid scrabble game without the ridiculous spamming of words with friends. I’m not really a NYtimes fan but they do know how to do games right!

    My adult son and I play fierce games and we each win some and lose some. But what fun to play with words!

    Lost one star because I can’t make a free account that is different from my nytimes account that I’m signed into on my nytimes app on my phone on the same phone. Now I’m locked out and I can’t play with my girlfriend. It says I have to email. Lost second star because it’s just scrabble no points for originality. All in all give it a shot but be careful with signing out and making a new account on ur phone
