Kalimat

In all of the game modes other than the "Pass & Play," there is open chat with your opponent that is unmoderated and cannot be disabled. Kids could potentially hear offensive language.

Parents need to know that Kalimat is a word game meant to be played with others. This Scrabble clone is similar to Words with Friends, but it has more interesting game play. However, it creates privacy and safety concerns because players can play with strangers where there is open, unmoderated chat with your opponent which cannot be disabled. Players can also share the game itself on Facebook and Twitter. There is no single player option, so players can either pass and play with others on the same device, challenge contacts via email or text, or challenge random opponents. There are three social game networks players can use (OpenFeint, AppBoy, and Game Center), which can involve sharing private information including photos and email addresses and importing friends from Facebook and Twitter. Players can choose between normal game play or remix, which has more flexible, high-scoring rules that reward fast play. A dictionary is included in all modes to look up the definitions of words after they are played.
