Description of App
Sort scattered words into their hidden groups in Word Tack, a cozy word puzzle with a handmade feel: washi tape, typewriter labels and paper tiles that look cut out by hand.
Every puzzle hides eight groups of five words. Drag tiles between rows, and when a row holds all five words of a group, it's sealed and its category is revealed. There's no timer and no penalty for a wrong guess, so take your time.

Good game
This is a good game, but I think we should also have the option of double tapping the tiles we wish to swap. Considering we have 40 words to sort in each level, dragging can become tedious. Just my thoughts.
Re: Good game
Agreed. I just played my first level, and I found dragging the tiles to where I wanted them on the first try difficult. It often took me two or three tries to move them where I needed them.
How about using the rotor actions
This game looks really fun but I agree double tapping and dragging adds more frustration than necessary. Could the developer incorperate the use of the rotor actions just like iOS does with rearranging apps on the home screens.
strange thing I noticed
So when I tried to complete a level, I noticed that the row and column number would change on the cards, but not the actual position if that makes sense. So if I tried moving a card from row 3 column 1 to row 1 column 2, it would say it was in row 1 column 2 but it would still show up next to the other row 3 cards.
Moving cards
I think the dev will be adding the option to doubletap and move a card. The drag gesture with VO is a little bit tricky to master, so I understand why some people wouldn't want to use it. I like it when I have the oportunity to do so though, but maybe I am weird.
Lovely game, agreed about the drag!
This game looks very much up my street, but at the moment I truly can't get on with it at all due to the need to drag. If the option was given to double tap, move by rotor, or literally any other method, I would be most grateful and would give this a proper look! It looks fab!
