Disappointed with July update
I downloaded the most recent update and my game has been awful. I’ve lost a few thousand coins because it has been freezing up in the middle of gameplay, sometimes several times per game. It happens while playing—and every time I leave the game to answer a phone call or text message. I had to buy more coins just to keep playing but I won’t purchase more. I absolutely love this game and I would hate to have to quit playing because of these issues, PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS SOON!!Show lessmesewcrafty
Meh
I saw the ad while playing a different game and the ad made it look like Jumbline type game where you have a set of letters and try to guess as many words as possible from those letters. That’s not what this game is, but I played it anyway. The ads are too much and it got really hard to pass the levels very early on. If you don’t spend money for extras, there’s no way to pass unless you make multiple attempts, which will burn through your coins resulting in your having to buy more coins. Regardless, you’re going to pay to play. It would be fun if the levels were just a little easier to pass without boosters.Show lessCsum13
Fun but costly
I love the game and making my brain work to figure out words and strategy but I have put money in for the no ads, which worked for a while but now the ads are back-not the ads I chose to earn extra coins or rewards but the ads between games. I’ve lost so many coins and boosters because I’ll be playing the game and have to pause for phone call or so other distraction and when I go back it starts me all over and I have to use coins again to play a level I was already working on-I still play but I have gone back to some of my other favorites bc I’ve spent enough money, of my choice, but have lost what I’ve purchased due to bugs in the game-Show lessaikbee

Dear player, Would you send us your user id in the 'support' of the setting panel? We will check the issue asap. :)Ruined a great game with greed
I have serious issues with several of the game boards. There is at least one board that seemingly cannot be surpassed. All pathways to the black and white square are blocked and it is not evident what is required to get around the roadblocks or break the bricks blocking access. I also have a big problem with the number of coins required to buy a letter, an extra move, clues, and losing turns to swap hands. Also, using up your boosters but not knowing in advance if the boosters will help. Finally, most of the boards cannot be played in the few moves allotted. I have spent entirely too much real money on this game only to feel like I have been scammed during play. I enjoyed the game for a while but I would be crazy to continue throwing money away on a game that is not very fair. The game developers did “compensated me by giving me 1000 coins. If you have ever played this game, you know 1000 coins is meaningless. Let that sink in...1000 coins is meaningless. I have wasted thousands of coins (and the real money to acquire them) on this. I’m sorry to say, but I’m done. It’s a pretty cool game and can be addictive. Hopefully someone will take this under advisement and make some changes.Show lessBRLADiva

I’m considering deleting this game because there are way too many ads in It. It seems the longer you play, the more ads come on. Now it’s every time I complete a puzzle and some of them are really long. I really don’t feel like waiting for a full ad to complete just to move on to the next puzzle It really ruins the continuity & the desire to continue playing and I think $9.99 is too much to pay to remove them.
Just my opinion, but it bothers me enough that this is the first review I’ve EVER written for a game app. Does anyone agree with this? I haven’t read a lot of reviews yet, but so far I haven’t seen any regarding this.
BTW, I do play games with ads in them, just not this many.
Update: I just read more updates and my mistake, there are plenty complaining about the ads. They continue to say they will address this, but so far nothing.Show lessDustygrl123

Dear player, thanks for the feedback. We will improve this. :)Way too many stupid ads and poor gameplay
I want to give it zero stars but I cannot. This game is completely annoying. Ads after pretty much every move or two. Ads after every level completed. Ads after bonus. They constantly give you full hands of tiles that are completely useless. Lots of q, z, y in your selections. No scrabble that I’ve ever played sucked this bad. They don’t use a standard tile set. They purposely block tile spots so they cannot be used. Way too much animation distracts from game play. Worst scrabble game I’ve ever played. Stick with words with friends.Show lessslc1161
Too many ads!!!
I love the game concept. I have three major problems with the app itself. 1) It costs a high amount of “coins” to play a round. 2) There are way too many ads, often one after every move! Ridiculous! 3) Some ads are a minute or more long. The number and length of the ads make it hard to feel any momentum in the game...I spent entirely too much time waiting to continue the game. Because of these frustrations, I am deleting this app.😠Show lessWick-Id
Needs better instructions
So this is a basic scrabble game and it’s enjoyable BUT there are no explanation for these power ups or “extras”. For instance, I have a TON of gems but there is no explanation what I can use them for. So I keep accumulating and have no use for them. I’ve tried googling, searched every last screen in the game, no explanation at all. Plus when you’re playing the computer mode, some of the words it uses are ridiculous and it’s like you’re playing a scrabble dictionary because 90% of what they play you’ve never even heard of in your life.
Also, Facebook group is useless unless you want live videos of people doing tarot card readings
Plus my screen doesn’t look like others - they have lives and I have gems and need coins to play. This doesn’t make sense!!Show lessKari9784

Dear player, thanks for the feedback. We will improve this. :)Game shuts down frequently
Hello! I just started playing this game a few weeks ago and I really like it. There are a couple of things that get kind of frustrating. One is that the game will just shut off and go back to app screen causing you to lose your coins and resulting in you having to replay and use more coins to replay the round you just finished and won. Also, there are times when you don’t get vowels while playing and after using your free swap you have to use moves in order to swap out tiles to get vowels often causing you to lose because you ran out of moves unless you purchase them which I have done. Otherwise it’s a pretty cool game.Show lessRolynel

Dear player, thanks for the feedback. We will improve this. :)Was in love but now aggravated...
Love to play this game. Fell so in love that I decided to spend the $10 to unlock the game and have no ads. Have been enjoying the game until the gems came in to play and the only way to get to the next level was to pay for the pass to get enough gems. Plus the fact that at the end of each round where you get your bonus, you NEVER can get the top bonus or gems. Pretty shady to keep people playing and I’m extremely disappointed.Show lessLillady84
