Which is odd since, again, the Windows Phone version is adored. I get that it's real time and you're competing against other people. What if all that text bothers me and I want to jump ahead to a clear staging area and just wait for the next game to start? What if it takes me longer to read all that tiny text? What if I want to play again but would prefer a few more moments to go through the jam-packed stats. It would be better to present obvious buttons saying "join next game" and "skip next game" so the user is in control of how they move through the app. There might be some genius level interface and mechanics going on that I'm too dull to see, or are just impenetrable to me, but given the lack of iPhone 5 support and the ridiculous way Wordament resumes, I'm inclined to think Microsoft simply didn't do a very good job here. There's no Next button, however, and you're forcibly moved to the leaderboard again, and after a few seconds, you're suddenly playing again. Once a game ends you're shown another screen filled with tiny text and you can swipe around and tap to see words you missed. Maybe that only happens in guest mode but I have no way of knowing, as I'm not able to sign in. It's as if multitasking was never introduced in iOS 4.
