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.
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…

Stop with allowing "words" that aren't words
Since when is "hm" a word, among others? Seems like Chumbots can spell anything they come up with. Game would be better if only real words (those that can be found in any English dictionary) were allowed.
196 votesI 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.

a Japanese liquorWe 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…

Gifts to opponents
I would like I to offer a gift to an opponent on occasion, but I don't want to give away hundreds or thousands of my hard-earned coins. Could you offer a "token" option that could be more of a "token" gift? It would be fun to see if more people took advantage of this if they could just give away 100 coins or less to surprise an opponent. Thanks for your consideration.

We are considering only showing the pass button at top of screen when there is no play. It would still be available under the menu.

Recall of highest word played before taking the hint
If we use a hint we are told what our highest played word so far is. However, if we get called away from our game or cannot. find the word and want to come back to it later, we have no way of knowing what. the beat word we had played previously was without writing it down. It would be nice to have a recall feature.

Lifetime upgrade for gear
I would like to be able to pay a one time premium upgrade fee to have my hat or hold upgrade forever. As I increase my level, so would the XP% on the hat or hold without having to pay again and again and again...... If an individual owns many hats or holds, then there should be a maximum amount of lifetime upgrade fees charged ...maybe 3-5 to cover the entire inventory, new or old.

Wasted hints
Why are hint words often words I have already found and tried in the same spot the hint indicates? Hints are supposed to be an improvement on words already found! If hints have to be bought with coins they shouldn't be wasted like this.
127 votesThis is for clarification on the beating the hints comments.
The hint is pretty easy to beat depending on when you use it. Details in link.
