    I have a tiny request.

    There is a click sound for every time you select or deselect a tile. Instead of using the same sound for both actions, could you make the deselection sound different? I'm thinking a major third lower would be a pleasant interval. Sometimes when I'm typing a word, I don't realize that I fat-fingered the board and unintentionally deselected a tile rather than selecting the tile next to it.

    Fantastic game, I'm really enjoying it. Also, this is the first word game in which I can defeat my wife. She usually wipes the floor with me in games such as Boggle.

    I got an 8 in a row last night. It was all unique opponents.

    I previously did not get an 8 in a row because one of my opponents left the match. The order was 4 wins, 2 cancellations, and 4 more wins. Except for the 2 cancellations, they were unique opponents.

    Bug report?

    I am playing my first game against someone with a customized icon. In the first round, the icon was a purple bunny. Now, when I return to the game, it is a blue bunny. It is possible that they changed their mind in the middle of the match, but it seems more likely that this is a bug.

    The game is still open if you want to check your servers. I will keep the match open until you tell me you are done with it.


    I purchased customization, and after changing my color, every standard user changed from blue to red, but the player in question stayed blue. No bug.

    It's more likely they have just changed their colour and that is all. No bug

    Another minor feature request. Is it possible to allow rematch requests from the Vs Stats screen? I want to challenge someone I've played before but have deleted the game we played.

    Also, I'd love the "<" and "SUBMIT" buttons to be swapped. "<" has far more in common with "BACK" and "SUBMIT" has far more in common with "NEXT". I often try a word out, decide I can do better and decide to play my turn in another turn first then come back to this one.

    Because SUBMIT and BACK alternate, I often end up playing the inferior word and making my life much harder.

    Tychozero, why would it? It's completely different feature. You might want infinite lives and don't care about the customization or the opposite. If you want both you need to purchase them separately. As most of us did. On the other hand, does it matter? This game theoretically offers infinite hours of fun, you can't put price on that, right?;)

    Definitely want to put a rematch option in vs stats, and the back/submit button issue has been raised.

    Great. I never know with something like the Back/Submit thing if other people will feel the same or if it's just me, but it never hurts to ask! :)

    I've made mistakes and lost a few games this way too.
    The problem if you changed them again after a while, then we'll be used to the former ways and make the same but inverted mistake I guess :p

    Hundred games.
    I guess it proves NimbleBit knows how to calculate percentages ;)

    I just got the 4 in a row achievement! After beating my friend...for the 7th time. No clue how that works. Im 20-0 but still cant get the 8 in a row achievement, does it have to do with facebook integration?

    Another question is: are there basically two separate communities of opponents if you connect to facebook or not? Im connected to facebook and realized I wont be automatched with my gamecenter. I dont see any ranking based matches or anything so is facebook versus just completely random? That would explain why the opponent pool doesnt seem to be improving?

    (Im not actually good at this game based on reading about these epic 60 turn matches or long words)

    The win streak achievements seem to be triggering on after beating unique opponents X times in a row which wasn't intended (but almost seems like a better achievement since it would be harder to cheat).

    Being logged into Facebook will auto match you with only other Facebook players but it is still rank-based.

    Loving this game eventhough only have a 50% win rate. Always try to support Nimblebit so paid $1 for the customization.

    Haven't read through the pages of this forum so don't know if these have been requested:
    - Beside each game, indicated time since last move.

    - speed games, where you have 1 minute to make a move or you forfeit (or 30 seconds?)

    Wait, could you clarify what you meant? So it would be beating one opponent several times? Or several different opponents without losing (both of which ive done). Does the counter somehow reset if you beat someone you've beaten before?

    Thanks for being responsive, great game and im glad to be able to support it.
