This software has great potential to teach vocabulary. if used in own or foreing languajes it will stress the player to think and try words. But I find two issues. One, it is not a game, but a "online multiplayer puzzle", it is not funny, it is stressing, it gives you satisfaction (as long as you win), but lacks the elemetns of a game. And second: I´ve seen players tend to try blindly some letter combinations hoping that it becomes a word Arantxa Pérez. Workshop I
