Good Word – now with definitions!
Friday 03/5/2010 – Category: Uncategorized
Some folks have mentioned that Word With Friends already checks words, so why make Good Word? I created Good Word to scratch an itch: I wanted to quickly make sure a word was valid if it wasn't my turn to play, and if it was my turn to make sure a word was valid before committing. The latest update (available now!) scratches another itch: so I know a word is valid--but what does it mean?
So, I've added a quick definition view to Good Word. It's perfect for those times when you're playing someone who puts down an obscure word and you're asking yourself "what does it mean?!"
I wanted to keep the app clean and simple while fast and functional. After you search for a valid word, the keyboard disappears to reveal the word's definition, keeping everything on one screen. If you prefer not to see the definitions upon checking, there is a toggle in the application settings to turn them off.
As I mentioned before, I'm planning on expanding Good Word to be a more full-featured word training tool by adding features like "save word" so you can quickly review words you want to learn or remember. Stay tuned for more updates! I'm a proponent of the "release early and often" philosophy, so if you guys have any features you'd like to see, let me know.
Last thing: I have more promo codes to give away, so if you're interested please let me know!

the app was very nice and slick already but definition adding — nice.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and found a couple of words that your program says are no good, but WWF accepts. There doesn’t seem to be a way to let you know so they can be added. Is that possible?
It would make me feel much better about the program if i knew i could trust it. I think others would too – and we’d be wiling to help keep it accurate.
The two words were HAJIB which i played and MIRID which was played against me.
Thanks for your good work.
