This game is a decent idea but has a large flaw. Here is why the game doesn't work.

The puzzles are designed on giving you an easy letter placement early on and using logic to attempt to solve the rest of it. The problem comes when they throw in an obscure word. If you don't know one of the words in the puzzle, you will never think of it as the proper solution and you can't use it as context to figure out the rest of the puzzle aside from trial and error.

Example: One of the easy packs started off by giving you an easy tile lay of "X". It ended a 4 letter word. I could not figure out the 4 letter word that it made. I attempted to solve the rest of the puzzle first by trial and error, and this would have been extremely tedious if I was on a harder difficulty. I find out after completing the rest of the puzzle that the word is "ibex." Even if I knew that IBEX was a word, I would never assume that they would have used it as a word in a game that shouldn't have obscure words. What is the point of using a hard word? It doesn't actually help you learn words, it just serves to make a logic puzzle broken if you don't know the word. Bad design.
