Leave a Review Word Wiz
Like it so far but the ads are annoying..lowered the rating due to ads
Less ads would make it better. Especially since there is a fixed ad at the bottom of each game. Or offer a paid version.
I complete each game pretty quickly. The ads are so frequent and often long (not sure why some can be closed quicker than others) that I spend more time waiting for ads. I love the mobilityware products but this one has way too many ads. Maybe every other game would be better or a paid version, of course.
I will be looking for another word game where I don’t have to be tortured by ads.Show lessknitlady58
Mobilityware Word Wiz malicious site ads
The game was fine until about a week ago. Then ads started popping up that my protection blocked saying they were malicious websites. The ads varied but the site that was always blocked was continuoslyshop dot com. The ad that was showing was not for that site. It’s like that site hijacked the ad. Sorry, but deleting the app. It’s not worth the riskShow lessJB8512

I love playing this game. It’s challenging but not impossible to solve. Some obvious real English words (that aren’t proper nouns) aren’t recognized and won’t get added as bonus words, but whatever - just move on. There is one annoying bug every time I reach ten punches on the crown card. This little “fire” animation will appear in the middle of the screen but nothing else happens and there’s no way past it. You have to completely close the game and relaunch it to move on. I have a screen shot of it but can’t upload it to this review. For this I gave it -1 star.Show lesssparkee engineer
Needs more work
I went up into the hundreds yesterday, and it has the same background agricultural test site picture, and no extra incentives- just another grid time after time and some encouraging words. Similar games have change of image and more rewards. I got bored and stopped playing.Suffolk reader

I was very happy using this app several times per day for years. With recent changes, you do not get credit (a crown) after completing a puzzle without waiting for a full minute for an ad. If you don’t wait a full minute you don’t get credit. I have such an issue with this. I don’t like being forced to wait on apps to complete full minute ads. As a formerly happy customer, I will most probably quit using this app. I will find another app that is less intrusive.Show lessSAPlayer
Recent updates
I have been playing this game for years, usually while drinking my morning coffee. I have appreciated the toned down approach and lack of game levels to slog through, and no cartoon characters. It’s just a straightforward game that is sometimes easy, sometimes difficult. But I dislike the recent updates! Hate the red “bad word” signifier! What happened to the bonus word scramble? Why add the big “CONTINUE” button that looks exactly like an ad trap?!?! Yeah! I’m old, but we deserve a decent game too! Why mess with a good thing especially when the changes are not going to draw new players.Show lessJkvc2003
Recent Update
The most recent update (May 2024) kind of ruined this game for me. Not in a way of bugs but the new visuals are not very good, they actually make the game look cheaper.
The store icon constantly blinks and shines and is super distracting while doing the word puzzles.
The update also got rid of a few of the letter hints ive been saving up, so thats cool.
I also dislike how the ad plays immediatly after solving a puzzle.
There really wasn’t anything to “fix” with this update. You just made your game look like hot garbage now, consider going back to just before this particular update. It really does look and feel ugly now. Why change what really wasn’t broken?Show less-GameSlave2-

It it keeps freezing and I have to delete it and start over from the beginning. Great game when it’s working.bunny2522
Pop ups
I’m not one to write reviews. I understand that the company receives revenue from ads and patiently wade through the multiple screens between games. However, over the last few weeks, there are pop up ads DURING play that must be X’d out of. These ads go away only to return (same exact ad with play options) mere seconds later. At Christmas, it was a beverage snowman game and now it’s some car maker game. If I wanted to play those games, I’d go find them! But, not on the middle of a descramble letter game where I’m viewing the letters trying to come up with new words. The pop up ad games block the letters and ruin my concentration. Instead of highlighting the advertiser, I’m frustrated and hoping someone in the developer team gets a clue that if people stop playing and delete their game, there will be less revenue generated. Please stop during game play pop up ads…I don’t want to have to continually X out of them to return to the letter list.Show lessLeRoyFamily

I really enjoy this game, I’ve played past the 5,000 mark and also enjoy the daily challenge puzzle. The reason I submitted only three stars is that in the past several months the advertising has become aggressive in its persistence. What I mean is that certain advertisers make it difficult to tap the “x” without forwarding you to their info site. It’s become so bad that I will totally exit word wiz and restart my game when I see that particular ad. The next issue is that in the past week or so I’m getting a pop up ad on the top of the screen, and even when I close it, it reappears every few minutes. Frustrating since you can’t continue playing until you x that ad!! This last issue may be the one that has me deleting word wiz :(Show less0923pb
