Superb word game!
I'm obsessed with this game. I freely admit it! It's a word puzzle game a bit like a cross between Scrabble and an anagram: lettered blocks appear on the screen and you have to make words from them. The kicker is that as you progress you win bears, each of whom has special powers, e.g. add the letters I, N and G to the board, add one to the value of every block in a row etc, and you can "skill up" the bears via a special game mode so that your overall score in each game increases.
It's really simple to play, with nice graphics and sounds, and a terrific difficultly curve that keeps you coming back. One thing I'd like to see more of is high scores in the stats section of the game, e.g. the longest word you've ever player is this, the highest scoring word you've played is this, biggest score in a single game, quickest game, longest game etc.
Anyway, definitely don't miss out; Alphabear 2 is a real treat!

Free coin offers are a scam
I downloaded a game through the free coin page. Installed, played, even bought a pack to complete the offer in the specified time. I have provided proof to IronSource that I completed the offer. It’s been rejected. Alphabear 2 is affiliated with a company that is not honouring the offers players are completing, and that has directly affected my playing the game. Alphabear 2 doesn’t accept any responsibility for the offer being a scam... but they’ve got the link to it on their game.

Love this game BUT am over the grind!
I would give this a much higher rating but am currently sitting on level 9-7 (normal) and 3-11 (hard) and am really sick of grinding my way through daily/special events to level up bears to get enough bonus points to actually progress. I have not been able to make progress in weeks, and I find the price points for purchasing coins too steep for what is essentially a random levelling up of unknown bears. Really like the tournament feature (and it’s probably the only reason I haven’t stopped playing altogether), but would really like to have to grind less to keep playing.

Fun game but too many currencies
This game is fun but it has too many in-game currencies. I dislike the reason posted on the website about removing infinite honey for the players health. Nonsense. What would be great for our health is to not be encouraged to waste real money on digital coins, coffees, and cloth packs.
I am happy to pay for a good game and did pay to remove ads. I will not be paying more money for various bear goods and wish there was an option to hide the shop and turn off time-limited deal pop-ups.
Otherwise, the game is fun to play. The bears are very cute. The addition of the dictionary in this version is great. I love learning what words mean. There are occasions where valid words are restricted (usually “bad” words). Sometimes there words that are valid but don’t feel like they should be (“uey” and proper nouns like “Noah”). Some sources don’t seem reputable but this may be down to API costs. I imagine Oxford Dictionary costs more to access than Wordnik. If there was an option to choose a source I’d gladly pay for it.

Spell magic
Like, spelling, not spells! Cute bears travel through time to teach us about words , spelling and language, making it fun😺
👌🏻
This game is great! The graphics are beautiful and the settings are really nice. The gameplay is fun and really unique: after searching around for word games I found this, and its the best I’ve played (well technically I found the first one but you know)!
However if I were to improve this game in any way it would be to make the bear you play as more customisable. The bears you collect are all very colourful and I think it would be cool if your avatar could have that as well - I know there’s skins you can buy but I think just changing the colour of the bear’s fur and eyes would be really fun :3
Good work and keep making awesome games!

A worthy, wordy successor
With cute graphics, a wide variety of places, levels and bears to engage with and really fun dialogue in the main storyline, there’s tons to do in this sequel.
If you enjoyed the original Alphabear then this is a no-brainer (actually scratch that, bring your brain, you’ll need it). It’s slicker, more complex and they’ve managed to build on all the mechanics of the first game. You don’t have to rely on finding multiple rare bears to level them up; once you have one you can just train it.
Bears can also have different kinds of abilities. In the first game all attributes were passive; now you can have bears who bring an active ability you can manually trigger in-game.
There is a rich set of challenges which add loads of variety to the game play, and the different ‘bearsonality’ types keep the game fresh by constantly rotating what kinds of bears are admissible for activities. Bears won early on used to become useless almost immediately, but now can prove useful if they have just the right temperament.
The only thing I miss from the original is the multiplayer mode - I used to enjoy challenging friends to see who won. If this could be given the same treatment as the events, it would make this the perfect ursine word game.

Ads that can’t be closed and slow gameplay
Don’t normally review but really enjoyed alphabears 1 so was excited to play 2. Sadly the game is so slow every level is followed by a ton of pop ups and unlocks that slow you down from playing.
It also had a full screen ad for another game that had no way of closing and didn’t timeout if you just tried waiting. Any tap opened the App Store but still couldn’t progress. Only way past it was to force quit the app and restart. One level later the same broken ad pops up. Uninstalled the app sadly as the game itself is pretty fun.

Surprisingly entertaining
My daughter has been trying unsuccessfully to get me interested in one of the many games she likes, until now. I was pleasantly surprised by Alphabear 2. It’s a decent puzzle game with adorable and creative bear characters and plenty of variety, especially for a free game. There are more ads than I’d like, but I’d like there to be none, which is unreasonable for a free game. I definitely recommend you try out Alphabear 2.

Fun game.
Wish there were fewer ads though.
