    As a fan of NimbleBit's games, I'd love to beta test Letterpad! Looks like it could be a great brain teaser.

    I'm having fun with it so far and my brother and I are stumped on some words. It's a good challenge.

    One thing I noticed is that I can find a word that fits the theme yet isn't actually in the set. For example I got "Sand" in the Desert and it wasn't an answer. It rarely happens though and I would suggest a "suggestions" feature but that may get abused.

    The only other thing I want to see is some background art or some icons on the categories.

    Good game so far!

    The next build has a different animation when you are "close" which would have helped in the case where SAND wasn't a valid word but SANDY was.

    Awesome thanks!

    ...And now I just realized there are no 4 letter answers in the Desert category anyway.

    Looking forward to the next build.

    Not sure how this would have any negative outcomes, but would it be effective to have hinted revealed letters be randomly revealed, either a letter in the middle of a word or the first letter of a different word?

    I could be wrong but I believe it is easiest to guess a word by knowing how it starts rather than a middle letter or how it ends.

    Really enjoying this so far. And I agree with you about the first letter. Maybe the next Hint is random (middle or last letter).

    The Downton Abbey Puzzle is great ;)

    Enjoying the gameplay and look and feel.

    Enjoying the gameplay and look and feel. Seems to challenge my sense of language in a new way.

    Are the hints replenished daily or once they are done they are done?

    Cheers.

    The hints are gone when used. You can still get free hints with the Free Hint option though.

    Hi,
    You invited me to test this game, but the link didn't work unfortunately. I would really love to try this app. My email is etsneb@ yahoo.com if I'm able to still test this. I'd love to help out!
    Thank you,
    Ben
