  • Fun fun fun

    I usually get rid of word games pretty quick, but I love the challenge of this game. The fact I am not playing against another person is a bonus. The challenges in this game can be tough but I have managed all.
    The things I don’t like, when you know you can’t win there should be a button that say quit. Like today : the absolute only play available was one space above a V. I had 7 plays but couldn’t play.
    Also I spent the $ to get the extras in that room. I think the amount isn’t worth it and won’t do it again
    I like playing the game and think the pros overweight the cons
    Update: love love love the updates! Dark to playing multiple times a day!

    Dear player, thanks for the feedback. We will improve this. :)
  • New update was so bad I deleted the app

    The game itself WAS a lot of fun, but they kept doing so many updates to the game that made it more complicated to play. For instance, it use to take 500 coins to get help for a bonus word or bonus letter which was hard to get to because they don’t offer many coins on anything. They then increased the coins to 700 for help. Which was really really hard to get to. I would have to watch ads every day to get more coins for 1 time to play. I would end up buying additional coins which I have historically never done. Now with the news update the 1200 coins needed to get 1 Letter of help is outrageous. Because of that I deleted the app. The 1200 coins wouldn’t be bad if you gave more but with each app update the coins given have remained the same so now it’s just unobtainable. When I went to go write this review I learned the app is always tracking me- so with everything stated above - I deleted the app. Lost revenue for this company since I did purchase many times from in app purchases.

  • Cheats by not loading videos

    Every time I need to get a free letter to complete a puzzle the game freezes and the video does not load. Only way to get back is to reload the game and in doing so I lose the progress I had. I believe it is rigged to do just that.... not honest!! I don't have that trouble with any other games I play.

  • Smh

    I don’t know what this developer was thinking when s/he decided to put ads in the game for every move and after winning a level. It makes me think a FOUR YEAR OLD develop this app. The ads are ridiculous!! I will NEVER pay to remove an ad. The developer make MILLIONS A DAY just by players downloading and logging into the game to play it. Playing the game counts for even more. So with ALL of these ads they are really racking up. I just started playing last week and on level 200+. I can’t continue to play a game that full of ads. You spend more time watching ads than you do playing. In the middle of playing, there goes an ad interrupting your game. It’s was good while it lasted. I’m about the delete this game!!! It’s not designed to enjoy playing. It’s design to rack in revenue from ads. A toddler would get tired of watching ALL those ads! You cant contact anyone about the game. I NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN in ANY LANGUAGE(S) that a word doesn’t contain a VOWEL. The game gives you nothing BUT CONSONANTS & NO VOWELS. I don’t understand that. How the heck can you spell a word without vowels? Also, words that are actual words, they don’t allow those words. This game is a joke and the joke is on the developer. I haven’t spent one bronze penny on the game and will never spend any. It’s too childish of a game.

  • Word buddies started to upset!

    I am now on 457th level. I love all word games but this one I love the most. But my last 100 or so levels get stuck all the time. So I loose a lot of scores. If I have get a 15- minute free game then third of this time is eaten by repeating adds about other different games.I understand about the adds but please fix the situation with freezing, thank you!

  • Scammed and no response from the “support team”

    Do not spend any money within this app. I paid to remove ads and it worked for a bit, then the ads came back. I contacted the app’s support and they responded at first, requesting my user info. They then assured me the issue would be resolved in two days and since then it’s been nearly a month of me periodically reaching out to them for any update, unable to get any response. I very rarely spend money on an app and it’s been so frustrating just trying to get what I already paid for. If you do download this app do not waste your money on in-app purchases.

  • No vowels Too much money

    I liked this game when I started playing. However you cannot complete a board when there are no vowels. Then when you change the letter they still give you no vowels. It cost too many coins to get a vowel first one 750 then 1500 that’s insane. This game would be fun if they change some of these things seeing as everyone is complaining about it. I think they want you to spend real money a lot and that is not fair. If they fix these things I will up my rating. I have some purple things and no idea what they are used for.

  • Great Game

    This is a great game to help you improve your vocabulary while having fun. I don’t know why it says it’s for ages 4+. I don’t know of any children that age who could play this game.
    I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because often an ad will pop up and freeze which will not let you back into the game you’re playing and then the progress you’ve made is lost.
    I’m sure it’s a ploy to get people to pay for no ads, but it’s not working.
    Fix it!

  • New format isn’t as much fun!

    I definitely preferred the previous version of your game. It’s disappointing for those of us who started out with using coins to play. You cut the video bonus coins in half!
    I agree with another user who said the words that are generated when you pay using the lightbulb are words I’ve never heard used and never saw in writing anywhere else!
    I’ve had to close out the game due to no vowels being given after the very first play that I’ve made!
    So we need someone to listen who will give us an option of playing the older version with coins instead of hearts!
    I’m not enjoying the game as much as I did and where before I’d play every spare moment I had and now I may play only once a day or not at all. How is this better for the developers?
    Maybe newbies don’t know any better but for us loyal players it seems like you took more than you gave with your new format!

  • New update

    I really enjoy this game but the latest update added “lives” so you can only play if you have them AND you still need to use your coins to pay to play. On top of that the option to get coins every 4 hours (?) is no longer there- at least not anywhere I can find it. Once I’m out of coins I will probably delete because I’m not paying for more. I chose his game because I could play it whenever I wanted unlike other games. Now it’s just like the other games!
