Great app!

This game is an intuitive and creative approach to sharpening language and grammar skills. Best of all, it's really fun!
Has Issues
CCCee
This is a great and fun idea for a game, but it doesn't work well. Most sentences I create are not accepted by the game even though they're grammatically correct. It's frustrating and not really worth the effort. Also it badly needs Game Center Leaderboards.
Fun but room for more
W Ferox
A lot of fun but the grammar needs a bit of improvement and some words show up over and over again. A quiet game that can subtly trigger ideas.
Creative way to pass time
KC Winchester
I enjoyed playing sleep furiously on a long airplane trip. I found myself trying to remember grammar rules in order to create the longest string.
Absorbing
Liverpudlian1317
Sleep Furiously is the first word game I've seen that combines the random elements of Scrabble or Boggle with sentence construction instead of simply forming words -- and it's quite absorbing. I keep sneaking time with the game and sessions often go longer than I thought because I can't seem to put it down. Like Mad Libs, the player creates amusing nonsense sentences, but, unlike Mad Libs, it has the player find long sentences for higher scores from a grid of displayed words that are replaced as the game goes on. Many of the words chosen will appeal to a younger audience (wizards, dinosaurs, ugly, gnomes, amazingly, clobber), but the playing of the game can be quite sophisticated, embedding sentences as much as possible for the highest points. Because the next word must always be touching the last one in the grid, it can also be quite a challenge to scan the grid for a possible route. There is a timed mode for speed, a moves mode that allows 5 sentences, and an endless mode. If you want a game that will a engage either adults or young learners, and can slyly draw them into making complex sentences without saying the words "adjective clause," this is a great choice. Quirkily addictive. A solid five stars.
Love this Sentence-Creation Game!

Sleep furiously is challenging, whimsical, and entertaining, being the word- and language-lover that I am. Sentences created can be totally goofy or possibly creative and inspiring; either way, this word game is lots of fun!
Good brain occupier

If you have a surreal sense of humor, this is a good game for you. Earn points by constructing long sentences out of random words.
Weirdly fun
JonzeFam
My daughter and I have had a great time trying to out-weird each other in this game. Good clean fun. It demands grammatical awareness and a sense of whimsy.
