FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

I can’t seem to make any words with the tiles remaining on the board, but I don’t see the “No Valid Words Remaining” alert!

If the end of game alert isn’t showing, there’s a word still playable on the board. Tap the

button to open the toolbar (if it’s not open already), and tap the “Hint” button. Letters will wiggle to indicate the next playable word. As you place letters in the word tray, “Hint” will continue to show you the next letters in the word.

I know that “America” is a word, why can’t I play it?

Because Wordtouch uses a sanctioned Scrabble™ dictionary, proper nouns are not allowed. Remember, if it’s not allowed in Scrabble™, it’s not allowed in Wordtouch.

Why can’t I play 2-letter words?

You can, but they are disabled by default. From your iPhone or iPod touch’s Home Screen, tap “Settings” -> “Wordtouch” -> “Two-Letter Words” to “ON”. Try playing with 3 letters words as the minimum; it’s more fun, trust us!

Can I get rid of the obnoxious sound effects?

We’re sorry you don’t like them... but yes. In the same “Settings” -> “Wordtouch” screen as above, tap “Sound Effects” to “OFF”.

I was poking around in that Settings menu and saw options for “TWL” and “SOWPODS”. What’s that about?

Wordtouch uses standard word lists to determine whether a given word is valid for

play. TWL is a wordlist commonly used in North America (the US and Canada), where as SOWPODS is used in other English-speaking countries. Wordtouch will attempt to choose a reasonable default based on your location, but you may change the word list at any time. For more information, see the following Wikipedia articles:

I’ve just downloaded Wordtouch, and can enter words that I know are valid, but the Play button never turns green!
