Word Nerd Heaven!

I’m a word nerd who reads with a red pen using editors’ marks. Mind The Gap is perfect for me—I get to learn about a wide variety of subjects while I’m filling in the gaps. --Chicago Blue
Delightfully different approach to word play
Anne Campbell
This is an entertaining and challenging way to play with words. You are given a passage on a specific subject and challenged to fill in missing word fragments based only on the context. My only small quibble is when what is missing is part of the name of an individual. At that point, you really have to guess. But I am really enjoying this app a great deal.

Excellent teaching App and fun game

As a veteran ESL educator with experience in different parts of the world, I was really happy to finally discover a tool that could help students go beyond the colloquial everyday English conversation and get deeper into text understanding, idiomatic expressions, or simply higher level lexicon. The app is easy to use, but teaches quite complex skills which could put to the test many native English speakers. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to better their reading, writing and general knowledge of the language in various areas of life, as well as all English proficiency test takers and even American students who are preparing for an SAT exam.
Please help!!!!!

I just got this and when I try to start playing it, all of a sudden it just closes completely! I really am disappointed and would like to actually love to try out this app, but it has repeatedly closed out more than 4 times. I tried turning off my iPad and trying it again, but it still didn't work. I also tried reinstalling it again which didn't work either. : ( Please let me know what I can do. I'll do another review with a glowing five stars if you can please help this to work for me! Thanks guys!
Great Game, but needs some tweaking

Would not let me correct letters that were inadvertently put in by accident. Kept going back to that letter. And it wouldn't let me use the backspace to correct it.
Fun

More challenging than you might think. The app commands aren't entirely intuitive, but you can figure them out.
Makes Learning Fun (even for old Fogies)

A fascinating game affording joyful eustress in enabling improvement of knowledge, vocabulary and, of course, spelling. For adults as well. I'm looking forward to learning new information in a variety of areas. Truly stimulates the synapses. Thank you!
