The best ‘word swipe’ game
I only downloaded because one of my Secret Society friends is in the 1800s level-wise and I tend to enjoy games like this.
Although the ‘word swipe’ sub genre of puzzles is nothing new, Wordplay is perhaps the best executed of them all.
There's no banner or video advertisements - the closest I've seen to advertising is the ‘More Games by G5’ screen which appears upon startup. Even then, they're for the developer's own titles.
Wikitionary (the lexicon used) is a reputable source and many words can count towards your stars. If the game ever rejects a word you know exists, you can suggest that it be added to the lexicon too.
The Challenge and Tournament modes provide some much-desired mental stimulation but beware of the mistakes counter.
I personally like the parallax background effects.
So far, the only problem I've experienced is that duplicate puzzles (as in puzzles that use the same base word and may or may not have identical answers) will occasionally appear. A lot of the other word swipes have this problem too and it would be nice to see you make some more - honestly, it isn’t that hard.Show lesstechpaw

This game is brilliant, it makes you really think about what the words can be. An excellent way to keep the brain cells working!iremic1

Tournament
Hi, I’m Summer3y at level 192 in the tournament. Every time I play now, I reach 193 but then the app closes and when I reopen it I’m back at 192. I was first for a while, and wondered if I’d just hit the limit of the game - but now I’m second and someone else is on 195.neverill

Fun game, and learning the meanings to words I never heard before, like “ bindy “!sparke0
New Ad Explosion
I loved this game until the latest update. Soooo many ads. I realize you need to make money and I would gladly pay to get rid of the ads, but there is no option to do that. I’m guessing that’s coming and this new onslaught of ads is preparing us to open our wallets.
I wouldn’t even mind watching the ads, but there are just too many. It ruins the whole play experience. You have this nice relaxing music and then suddenly it changes to the loud annoying music of subpar game ads. I hope you are able to find a better ad/play ratio.Show lessWendyBorrelli

A really enjoyable game where you are challenged twice over!
Firstly you’re challenged to come up with words to fit within the squares and secondly you can challenge yourself to create those words thar are not used and put to one side, as they are counted as well!!fkb831
Awesome
I find this game easy and challenging at the same time. Sometimes it is hard to see all the words because they are in a circle which makes it fun and sometimes you’re like oh duh why couldn’t I see that word.SunflowerLucas
Good game
Enjoyable distracting word game. Didn’t accept a word once though and had to use tool - and the word was the one I’d tried typing in 4 times - so occasionally has blips. But good overall - not much variety though.NinaWilliamsFight
