Capitals - Word Game 12+

I've had this game for almost a decade. It's definitely my favorite two-player word game. I was so sad for a while when it was no longer available on the App Store, but now it's back!! And I'll definitely be recommending it to all my friends.

This is a fun multiplayer word game that is more like turn based boggle than scrabble or words with friends. To enjoy it, you will need to recruit a friend to play with you because matches don’t have a turn timer and there are not many users, so random matches take too long. The only real complaint I have is that the UI can set you up to fail. Before you have started to create a word, the two buttons on screen are a button to replay a visual showing the other player’s move (on the right) and a back arrow to return to the menu (on the left). Once you begin to play a word, the button on the left turns into the submit button, and the button on the right turns into a backspace button. I believe they should be flipped since it is easy to want to go back to another game and think about the word in your current game later, only to submit a word which sets you up to lose or worsen your position significantly.

Game is super well designed and very addicting - I play almost every day. There used to be not many people on, but this has changed! I am actively playing around 10 people who are good about responding.
