I am really enjoying the game but I agree with the reviewer who said the game needs a ‘not written down’ button or something when submitting found words. I often find words late, when there isn’t enough time to write them down. Please add this function. Only been playing the game for half a day so maybe I am not grasping the calculation process for the numbers either, but when solving the numbers during the TV show, I often make two separate calculations then synthesise them at the end, to reach a solution. Seems like the in-game calculation process does not allow for this method, which is annoying, unless I am missing something. These are my only gripes, otherwise the game is very enjoyable, thank you.

This reviewer reminisces about Countdown on the TV, eagerly guessing words that I would start before the final letter is placed. Was always a challenge and also fun. This game gives all the feels but it falls short on accessibility. Specifically, it’s unforgiving of any ‘slip of the hand’ and mistakes leads to the time running out. For example, accessibility considerations should be taken for those with developmental coordination disorders (between 5-10% of the population, usually mislabelled, life-long), who are usually very creative and could excel at the real game. Improvement points, albeit no updates in 9 years:1. Allow pause, it is more accessible. Cons about it being easier are moot if people want it paused all they need to do now is shift apps and it will go in standby.2. Enable an undo button. Cons: none, if resolves mistakes and is one of the most basic of processes when using text or numbers.3. Optional 5 seconds if a solution is already being typed, particularly numbers, but a mistake will give your right answer zero.4. Enable voice typing and math speech recognition to truly be accessible.Not making something accessible because it makes it easier for others without a condition is exclusionary and possibly discriminatory.

There are obvious differences which are obviously not possible to replicate on an app from the original. What annoys me most are irritating nuances, like when you get a word as long as the computer has offered and it always mentions its own offering as the longest word possible????? Or when neither (myself or the computer) gets the conundrum, it states I (just me!)has not been successful. That computer never fails to misspell a word at any level?. These can be discouraging to people on lower levels. Not me 😁

I played against expert level and used an official anagram dictionary solver online. The game doesn’t like it when you beat the higher levels. It lets the computer have the word “Sluggo” which it claimed was a singular word for “Sluggos” which apparently are some sort of men’s trunks?!? The dictionary used is a complete farce. May as well be able to use people’s names because it allows the computer to use the most nonsensical animal or personal names. I used the dictionary to make the word Lardass and apparently that isn’t in the dictionary?? Lol complete fix designed to help the computer win. The bot doesn't like losing. The CPU will struggle with words and only come up with 3/4 letter words like “Help” but always nail the numbers round with the most random of calculations. So the CPU is dreadful at English but an absolute maths genius. Absolute rip off and completely rigged to make the computer win. Rubbish
