Absorbing and fun – Word Shaker Review

A few things keep me from giving it five stars. The game has an issue with the touch pad sensing. -It doesn't detect a touch that is "too close" to the edge of the screen so it doesn't start the word even though you are dragging. -A certain time lag has to occur before it detects what you think is the beginning of the next word, even when you are dragging. So if you try to start a new word immediately it doesn't see it. -It is fairly poor at processing diagonals and direction changes so you have to slow down if you are trying to drag a zigzag word. Its dictionary is rather peculiar including lots of words from languages other than English, not including words that have passed into English like shoyu, and including enormous numbers of medical and chemical terms but not computer engineering terms. Worth playing if you like words and have multiple small time slots to fill.
