It is balance we work on. For those that don’t want to buy coins the Free Coins tapjoy options such as downloading apps for coins are quite popular.

One issue with coins for winning is the potential to motivate some players to cheat in order to more rapidly farm coins.

Most of the core features of the game are free to play. It allows free multiplayer games and you earn coins while playing or can do some of the free coins options such as Tapjoy. The paid version also removes ads, provides bonus coins and does not require tickets for Chumbot games. For people who want to utilize all of the features and customizations in can take extra coins. Creating and running quality games such as Word Chums takes hundreds of thousands of dollars so at some point we hope it is interesting enough for people to spend money on or do free coins offers. Thanks for playing!

If you would like to upgrade to the paid version you can tap settings (top right on main word chums page) and select upgrade. Thanks for your support!

I put the info on auto removal of games below. We have had an issue with the auto delete process the last couple of days and you can have some older games but they will be removed soon.

We have the nudge on the list for future updates. Sometimes a nicely worded chat can remind someone. “Would you like to finish our game?”

The system will delete random games after 7 days and other games after 11.

When it’s not your turn and you would like to remove a game from your game list you can select “Remove Game” from the game menu. When your are viewing a game board the game menu is in the top right corner. You will no longer see the removed game on your list after selecting remove game. However if the player does make a turn before the auto resign time period is reached it will come back on your list.

You may also Block a player from starting future games with you or chatting to you. Tap their chum in the game screen and swipe up on the Stats screen to see the “Block” button. You can also block them by tapping their name in your leader board on the main screen. Swipe up on the stats screen there to see block button.

Games that are removed will not count in stats until they are auto resigned but when they do the person who did not play gets a loss and the other a win.

I put our info on the word list below since we are not sure that people read the status on this. Sorry if you are receiving this again. You can remove your votes from this topic to not receive future updates.

The short answer is we try to closely match the Websters Scrabble valid word list since its been around the longest for Word Games. I put a couple of the definitions for recent words mentioned below. The link to their dictionary is also below.

HET
a Hebrew letter

SAKI [8 pts] , (SAKIS)
a Japanese liquor

We use a standard word list for validation called ENABLE2k. People and Chumbots use the exact same list..except some of the easier Chumbots can’t use parts of the list. It’s used by quite a few games and you can search on it if interested. However it only has words and not definitions. We look definitions up via a service called Wordnik.com which does not have nearly as many definitions. In an upcoming update we are going to research many of the most unusual words and create a list of their definitions we can use in game. Scrabble’s list is copyrighted so we cannot copy it. The link for their list is below in case you are curious.

If you would like to suggest words to add or delete just send us a support request.

Thanks for playing and spreading the word!

This is the link for Scrabble’s official list (They have access to an official Scrabble dictionary for definitions):

We see that they have more definitions than Wordnik.com here: (but we can’t access it from within Word Chums)
