What players say
Players split on how satisfying Word Forward is. Some find it addictive, strategic and relaxing with great music and UI, while others call it bland, flavorless and brutally hard for anyone without a hefty vocabulary. A crash at level 500 and the lack of Steam achievements are noted drawbacks.
