    I mean someone just put "cider" they got nowhere because it was the second go and they didn't around my castle. I replied with "wines" and gained 4 tiles! :p

    I like the History-Feature to look up words with the Dictionary.
    Unless you lost in the second round (Mr_Bez - who else?!?)

    Loving this game :) such a simple idea and very well executed.

    I wish I had known how the lives worked before buying the 5 lives add on. I thought you used a life for every move :( I would have bought the customisation had I known.

    Currently, none of my GC friends play this game so if you would like to add me my id is Back2funk.

    Off to work! I'll be back to finish my open games in about 9 hours. Haha.

    Bought the customize and 5 lives pack. Having so much fun with Capitals!

    I'm not surprised. Boolean is a weird one. Most word games exclude proper nouns, which is usually all capitalised words, but Boolean is an adjective too.

    I play a lot of the outstanding board game app, Cafe International, and two aspects of that game I really miss in Capitals is the messaging function (as already discussed in this thread) and the numeric ranking the game assigns to players based on wins, losses and opponent ranking.

    I don't see why they did not attribute a win to me after my opponent left

    This game is amazing!! My wife and I have been playing all afternoon.

    One issue though... Sometimes when submitting a word, there is a server error. Once this happens, we have to forfeit the game because the connection never seems to reestablish. Help please devs!!!

    Have you tried force quitting the app and restarting it?

    Finishing someone off with an appropriate word is my favourite part of the game at the moment. Today I have won with the following words:

    BEATEN
    STAGE/BEATEN
    BEATING
    DEFEAT
    SLAYER
    ROUT (when beating someone in round 2)
    GRIN
    PREDATOR/MOUNTS

    I wanted to use GOVERNATE (what Arnie did until recently) but unsurprisingly it wasn't allowed.

    Just noticed from Nimblebit's Twitter feed that they have a release sale on the customization IAP for $2.99. Seems reasonable to me and a good way to support a game that is playable for free. Bought and thanks, Nimblebit!

    Now is a good time to accumulate some quick victories if you understand the game. I have been playing auto matches and it is clear there are plenty of folks that just don't get it yet. I was like that in my first couple of games ;-)

    It still appears at 4.99 in the app but bought at 2.99 on the iTunes prompts box.
    Now with all this cash, please add some new planes in Pocket planes lol ;)

    Matchmaking with friends?

    Having trouble matching with a gamecenter friend. Anyone know how to do that? I can't find any instructions. It only allows me to invite someone or randomly match and that just sends a link to the app.

    There is an issues we're working on resolving involving games with players that have extended characters in their names. It will be fixed as soon as possible but will require an update.

    If a friend of your has the game installed they'll show in the "Friends who play" section. Otherwise you can tap the Auto-match button to be automatically paired with a random opponent. The invite friends button will just ask people to download the game, you'll still need to add new game center friends through the game center app.
