Good but Flawed – Word Shaker Review

I enjoy this game and it would be 5 stars except for some annoying things. First, the sound keeps disappearing at random times. The only solution I can find is to delete app from phone, then download from cloud again. Then the sound returns. But then goes away again in another day or two. Second, the swiping of letters can sometimes be VERY annoying as they don't respond properly or quickly. Slows you down as you're playing. Third, their dictionary of words is highly suspect. Some real words are not there at all. But the game recognizes other words that definitely are not words at all. Especially some that are all consonants. It seems to sometimes use proper names, abbreviations, and odd slang expressions, etc. For example, how can things like "cgb" or "trw" or "xtc" or "nps" be words? I've seen dozens of so-called words like this in this game. The game is still fun and challenging overall, but these 3 issues really hurt its rating.
