The first version of this game is definitely still buggy. While this has only happened to me once (so far), a number of the solutions to one particular round contained letters that were not available (the letters were D I J N N I T, yet several of the “answers” required a B). In addition, the scoring is a little wonky. I wish it would remember your nickname or handle so that you don’t need to type it in at the end of every game. However, I think I have figured out why: the game won’t record high scores with the same name twice.
For example, I only had one score stored so far on the game, under the name Alyse. The next game, I used the same name – Alyse – but the score never showed up, despite the fact that my score was higher. Because of this, the new score was not submitted to the worldwide scoreboard. I am a competitive person – I want my name up there! Additionally, each score you are given is equated to a different profession: artist, soldier, doctor, etc. I have yet to figure out the rhyme or reason behind this. It seems to just pull up a random profession regardless of score.
If you are looking for an action-anagram game, this one is definitely worth the $0.99, but not much more.

Hey, Thanks a lot for reviewing our game. Glad you liked it.
Wordulous provides a new set of words after 5 words are formed so that a player doesn't get stuck, something most games don't offer.
About the bug you mentioned, we've taken care of it in the next update which will be out in some time.So don't forget to update when it does!
