Here's my first real attempt at making an android app/game :D

Swift Word is a fun filled and challenging word game backed by a simple, minimalistic UI.

Rules of the game would be that you have to change one letter in the four-letter word the computer gives you. The computer will then change one letter in the word you used and so on. You may not use proper nouns or reuse words that have already been used. The first person to use all possible words wins! You can avail three hints per game to assist you in the game.

Go play the game and see if you are good enough to beat the computer a over game of words.

All the words used in the game are sourced from the official dictionary used in TWL 2014.

Got any feedback or suggestion?
Leave it down as comments below.

It has a nice clean interface. Permissions are non-existent (yeah). A great start.

I agree with those before me... It can be very challenging. I thought if it could have a multi-player mode, perhaps through bluetooth, that would be awesome. Instead of playing vs a computer with a dictionary at its disposal you could have a more level playing field.

Finally, I couldn't find an option to end the game (admit defeat). Is there a button I'm missing? I back arrowed out of my 200 something word game when I couldn't figure out another word. That didn't get an entry in my scores (as a defeat, obviously).

Difficulty Level, Multiplayer mode and the Give up button or accepting defeat button are all concentrated on now for the next update. Thanks for the feedbacks :)

Out of curiosity, what word database is used?
As I mentioned in OP it uses the dictionary from TWL 2014.
