Leave a Review Red Herring
Fun and quick(mostly)
This is one of the only games I can say I’ve played consistently for several years now. I always loved ‘Mailboxes’ in the Penny Press magazines and this is the closest I’ve found. Sure there’s scattergories but it’s timed and you have to compete with other people. Ugh. Give me one player games thanks. Nobody I know likes the same stuff as I do and I hate playing against strangers.
Won’t open today’s game for some reason but I’ll try again tomorrow.Show lessDruidlioness
Extremely cool language arts game
In my opinion, Red Herring is one of the best apps around. If a game gets too difficult, the player may go to an easier setting. I often find myself looking on the Internet for the meanings of specific words in order to try and figure out what other words it might fit with to make a category. I wish there were other apps like this that don’t waste your time, but help you to learn something.Show lessTK-12 teacher

Thank you so much for your kind words!Mediocre but difficult word game
Its very difficult, but much of the difficulty comes from obscure and sometimes archaic words that don't appear in youthful vernacular. This makes the difficulty feel artificial. The concept of the game is very simple and doesn't introduce much variety besides the words or categories themselves. Every puzzle you either know or you don't, and thinking longer doesn't feel rewarding compared to other puzzle games.
By far the worst part is the hints require ads or money. It does allow you to just retry the puzzle at a lower difficulty, but that does trivialize the puzzle. But it's also a somewhat ugly game with a few bugs (such as tiles getting stuck). If you're looking for a word game, I'd recommend sticking with word cross.Show lessPehz63
