Word Head Secrets.
1. Hey Word Header! If you love this game but find it difficult now and again scoring at least a 65% score rate during the Alphabet Quest, this is for you! We should all know that to look for the hidden word and advance to the next Alphabet Quest, we need at least a 65% score rate for the listed words. What is a 65% score rate? Well think of it this way. If you get all three stars (Blue, Red, Yellow) for each letter of the word, then you received a 3/3 (or 100% score rate) for that word. If you only get two stars (Red, Yellow) for each letter of the word, then you received a 2/3 (or 67% score rate) for that word. And if you only get one star (Yellow) for each letter of the word, then you received a 1/3 (or 33% score rate) for that word. This means that for the listed words on the cube, you must shoot for getting at least two stars for each of the words in order to make the overall 65% score rate. Or you just need an average of two stars for each word. That means for every word you only receive one star for each letter, you then need to make sure your next word is a 3 star word. If you can do that, then you will always make the overall 65% score rate needed to look for the hidden word.
Now how do we do that? Pretty simple. Follow the below steps.
a. Remember, we have as much time as we want to study the cube looking for words before we make any selections. Your first word selected will always score 3 stars (100%). So look for your longest word first.
b. Always look for words in pairs before selecting your next word. That way you'll be able to quickly select that second word which will give you 3 stars (100%) per letter. Continuing to do this will ensure you average 2 stars (67%) per letter as you find and select the words on the cube.
c. If you know your next word selected will only give one star (33%) per letter, then look for your shortest word to select first, followed by a longer word to quickly select second for 3 stars (100%)
d. Following the above steps will always ensure you make the overall 65% score rate need to look for the hidden word.
Good Luck Word Header! Think outside the Box!

4. Hey Word Header! Want to know how to get a perfect score on the 7x7 and 8x8 cubes? One thing's for sure, don't try it by playing the Alphabet Quest. Just play a single word list where there is no hidden word, and make sure you're set to low word density. Then all you need to do is memorize the location of 14 words (7x7 Cube) or 16 words (8x8 Cube) before you start selecting them real fast.
Come on Word Header! Get Smart! Be a perfect Word Header!

Hey Word Headers!
I just updated Word Head to the new iOS7 and have been working out the kinks based off feedback from bad reviews that people give me. Thanks. I love 1 Star Reviews – keeps me on my toes.
Of course it would be much better if you just e-mailed me the issue, and I promise it will be fixed just as fast. And that way I could at least e-mail you a question or two about the issue instead of trying to guess what it is by reading a 1 Star Review. ajkiger@gmail.com
I added some analytics to the latest update (2.07) and I now have over 20,000 downloads which is a good data chunk to give me insights about how people like Word Head.
Here are some Word Head Facts:
1. 72% of Word Headers are Female
28% are Male
2. 90% speak English
6% speak Spanish
2% speak German
1% speaks French
1% is everybody else
3. 34% are Age 35-54
31% are Age 55+
19% are Age 25-34
10% are Age 13-17
6% are Age 18-24
Believe it or not, 50% of people who try Word Head play it just once, then delete it off their device.
Another 25% play it a second time, then delete it off their device.
Only about 25% actually keep it and continue to play – True Word Headers – I love them!
Only 2% actually upgrade the game – nobody likes to pay for an App.
The analytics also tell me every time the game crashes.
These are pretty rare events.
1 out of 200 customers will experience a game crash.
If you’ve experience at least one crash, you will continue to see crashes.
If you’ve been playing the game without experiencing a crash, you will most likely never see a crash – 199 out of 200 customers.
I’ve identified the crash to an Opengl error in the Apple code. I can’t fix it. Apple needs to fix it after I’ve submitted a bug report to them.
But there’s another way around it I believe. I was able to replicate these types of crashes only once during testing. And the way I fixed it was by removing all the other Apps on the device out of memory. So, if you are one of the unlucky 1 out of 200 and you still desire to be a Word Header, and have yet to delete the App off your device, then try the following:
1. Remove all Apps from memory, including Word Head. To remove Apps from memory, double click the Home Button to display all Apps currently in memory, then start flicking the Apps displayed to the top of the screen - this will remove them from memory. Then restart Word Head - problem should be fixed. Just remember to do this every time you play Word Head.
Be a Word Header!!!
