Letterpress for Android

Unless I was doing something wrong, this app's Bots are incredibly slow, so I deleted it minutes after downloading.

Letterpress is the most sophisticated word game on the web. It offers strategic and highly tactical challenges with every move. Winning a game of Letterpress is, depending on the opponent, a genuine and unique accomplishment. I am thankful this game exists and that it is not a mindless time-waster

I enjoy this game and do recommend it. I also commend the creator for his or her efforts. But there are issues. The "Bot" opponent is not supposed to be able to play dark blue, or locked, tiles. Yet this frequently happens. The "Bot" players occasionally come up with wprds that don't exist, while I am occasionally )once everytwo games on average) am not permitted to use legitimate words. Often, when one passes the cursor over tiles, they shift to an odd angle or are moved into the line where one spells new words, without clicking on them. This happens multiple times per game. Occasionally, when the "Bot" player cncedes, the game is still counted as a victory for the "Bot/" I hope the developer(s) can fix these errors as they do detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. But I will keep playing nonetheless, as long as it remains free.

i am hoping to get regular opponents. lately, cannot get a player that stays engaged.

Letterpress could be a great game except for two problems: chat doesn't work if you play on a computer. The fatal flaw is that you can play words that are misspelled or don't exist. Click on a word you've never seen before and you get the mystifying message: "While valid for game play, a definition is not available in the Letterpress dictionary." Click on the three listed dictionaries and usually none of them have definitions either.
